I saw a related post in the Home product forum and while that one is closed I want to express my concerns about the effectiveness of the ESET ransomware protection. Here goes!
I used the KnowBe4 RanSim vulnerability test against Vipre AV and it scored a perfect 10 on on the protection. Stopped everything.

I ran the same test on ESET AV for Business and it failed all 10 tests. I was told that ESET support believes the simulation isn't "fair" since the RanSim application both creates the temporary test folders and files and then performs the simulated crypto attack on them. AVG, Symantec and even MS Windows Defender stopped at least some of 10 attack methods.
Maybe there are some settings in ESET I'm missing.
Also, what is a "fair" test to demonstrate ESET's effectiveness compared to other products? If I want clients to change AV protection I need to show them that ESET is better than their current solution. A strong KnowBe4 test result would have made this a very simple choice.
Thanks,
Troy Taylor
