eero Plus Security Reporting

Add the ability for eero Plus customers to retrieve detailed reports about the information that is provided in the weekly overview email. For example, it is nice to know that malware was blocked from communicating outbound on the network but having the details about exactly which client system was attempting the communication would actually allow investigation of that system to see if it has been infected with something that needs to be cleaned. With the overview there is no way to obtain that detailed information.

    Sunday May 20, 2018. Have restarted eero Plus and got a weekly report 9 days ago. No regular report in 9 days tho but am expecting them every Friday.  Anybody else not receiving the weekly reports (before I seek eero support directly) ?

      cotedan87 They're hit and miss.  Most weeks I get them, but every once and a while they skip a week.

      txgunlover ok thanks. I feel that eero Plus did a good job and the ad blocker worked great, and the VPN was pretty fast, but receiving weekly reports without fail is a deal breaker if it’s “kind-of” consistent. I’m back to BitDefender Box which works well and reports instantly about which website was at fault etc. Eero Plus is ok but the consistency of reporting has to be improved. 

      Jeff C. is this something on the radar  ?

    After 7 months I finally gave up on this getting implemented before my subscription for eero plus renews and just cancelled this week to prevent auto renewal for another 12 months. There are some very basic things like this reporting we are discussing in the current thread and the ability to block individual web sites for certain devices (there are other threads on this one) that should be added before I think it will offer enough value to spend yet another $100 / year on subscription services.

    I agree with this request.  Without it, I won't sign up for year two.  I understand the desire to keep it simple, but the lack of information on Eero Plus won't keep me as a customer.

    Please implement this feature I just subscribed to eero secure and without knowing what it blocked or filtered or scanned it won’t help me to understand what could be potentially harmful. It also makes me not want to renew because without details how do I know it’s actually doing anything other than using a counter.

    Ditto to the above. Please implement a details section. Without knowing what the threat is it's like shooting in the dark on preventing future threat actors.

    I gave up and switched to Plume 90 days ago. Excellent system, faster than EERO and just as stable.  Best of all, PLUME security is granular, by type of event and by device. AND you can chose to white-list by device or by universally.

    We just bought an eero router for 1300 Sq ft apartment and it is working great, provided that they advise you turn off any other wifi so the wifi networks don't have to compete for channels and bandwidth.

    Since we bought it we have been looking at the activity and one of our laptops shows as though it has tons of malware trying to connect and they happily report that they blocked it. But without a detailed report, eero team can say anything they want. Here is why I don't trust they have blocked any malware but are blocking a machine that uses VPN, Enhanced MalwareBytes, Enterprise enabled TrendMicro, Exploit enabled with Windows etc. So it is impossible that eero who is a company that does wifi has better security and understanding of malware, phishing, virus and spyware than all of the above running on this machine and not catching anything in their scans.

    We are still within the trial period of eero secure and we were very keen on signing up for eero secure plus. After reading all this and our experience with having to run tons of scans on that machine, we are just realizing that this feels like a marketing ploy. Eero says they blocked something but doesn't give you the detail, which is always suspicious.

    So I don't think it is worth paying for eero secure plus and it is very disappointing that we fell for their marketing.

    Thanks!

      MignRisEero An update, we called customer support to ask about what details they can provide since they claim they are catching all this malware, phishing and spyware attempts from this windows machine.

       

      The answer was lame. The associate said something to the effect that if we upgraded to Eero Secure Plus, they still wouldn't provide the detailed report, but because we are getting malwarebytes they'll provide the detail of what is affecting these machines.

      I told him that I am already running an enhanced malware bytes premium software that scans every day on this same machine and that Malwarebytes doesn't catch anything. What he said next was really not right. He said that when we get Malwarebytes it'll run on the router protecting any device within the network. This is not true because their site alone says that they offer Malwarebytes for up to 3 devices with eero secure plus.

       

      So disappointing to know that all of what we read from their marketing material was so misleading.
