Manager, Information Technology at a healthcare company with 201-500 employees
encryption works well but needs a fix for compatibility with the latest Windows version
I have used it in the past because it works quite well for encryption. It's better than trying to just use BitLocker, which is a pain from a management standpoint. It works up to this point. My issue is that I need to roll it out on new machines, and I can't get the application to work correctly. It's encrypted at rest, so I can't use the data if I'm not logged in correctly into the laptop with the correct user credentials.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature is that everything is done on the server."
"This solution can be centrally managed."
"It is very secure and we have finally decided to use this after a thorough check. The interface is easy to navigate."
"The usability is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Encryption is the high level of encryption protection."
"The initial setup is easy."
"I have used it in the past because it works quite well for encryption."
"The Remote Administrator is the most valuable feature that ESET offers for us. Centralized management of our ESET environment is what I like about the Remote Administrator."
"The Central Management server."
 

Cons

"My problem is that there's a technical glitch and they don't have a fix for it. It's not working with the latest version of Windows, which is a problem."
"There should be more frequent updates."
"I would like to see better compatibility with mobile devices."
"Integration with central management needs improvement."
"From an admin perspective, the solution's UI could be more user-friendly."
"The overall compatibility of the device is an area where the solution lacks."
"If you have issues with your network, you can't get updates, which is a problem."
"The product should be more responsive regarding feedback if it detects something in our infrastructure. I believe there's a backend that their engineers use to detect viruses in our system. We would appreciate it if they could promptly provide feedback and give us recommendations on how to better protect our infrastructure beyond their system. Additionally, we hope for improved integration with the other systems we currently use. It would be beneficial if they could collaborate to create something that facilitates integration between these systems."
"MacOS X is missing features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are some inexpensive products compared to ESET Endpoint Encryption, but they lack the essential features."
"The National University System dedicates 500 of their 5000 licenses to us, which is $14/yr per device. Most companies are paying $99 or $120 per device a year."
"Licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"It is neither very expensive, nor cheap. Overall it is affordable and there is a long term arrangement between our company and the solution providers for license."
"We paid for an annual subscription, and it was reasonable."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the highest, I rate its pricing a two."
"Instead of installing ESET on each machine at each location, we just do it remotely. This has been a time saver for us."
"ESET Endpoint Encryption is moderately priced."
"Licensing and pricing is on par with the market."
