You can manage your ESET Endpoint products using one or both tools:

The ESET PROTECT On-Prem provides additional functionality, for more information on differences see the comparison table


note

If you are using both options (DEM and ESET PROTECT On-Prem), set policies in only one of them, not both, this will help to avoid policy conflicts.
