Performs well, does not slow down the computer, and protects emails
The quality of protection is very important. The tool must also not slow down the computer. The quality of the user interface and the way the solution is updated must also be considered. The updates depend on certain situations. People who want to use the solution must check how it is working, check the memory, and the processes that are run. We must check if there are any unwanted features. For example, some antivirus tools install other services that are not necessary, and they are frequently updated. It won’t be a problem for a user who has a computer with more RAM, but it will be difficult to use it on an old computer with less RAM. The IT department uses remote features. Sometimes, they change some configurations remotely. Overall, I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Pros

"The usability is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Encryption is its rate of capturing viruses and malware."
"The setup is getting easier."
"The product is easy to implement and configure."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Encryption is the high level of encryption protection."
"It is very secure and we have finally decided to use this after a thorough check. The interface is easy to navigate."
"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 solution's UI is user-friendly. Even a non-technical person can use it."
"The Central Management server."
 

Cons

"From an admin perspective, the solution's UI could be more user-friendly."

"I would like to see better compatibility with mobile devices."
"I would like more robust reporting as part of the Remote Administrator."
"ESET Endpoint Encryption needs to improve pricing and security."
"The initial setup could be made easier."
"The solution should have better synchronization with active directory users and passwords for use in the encryption."
"If you have issues with your network, you can't get updates, which is a problem."
"MacOS X is missing features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is mid-ranged and could be more cost-effective."
"Licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"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."
"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."
"There are some inexpensive products compared to ESET Endpoint Encryption, but they lack the essential features."
"Licensing and pricing is on par with the market."

Questions from the Community

What needs improvement with ESET Endpoint Encryption?
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. My hands are kind of tied.
