The solution is deployed on the cloud. I could not even notice the deployment process because I think it just somehow showed up in my system one day, and it worked with my Windows system very smoothly and seamlessly. When I install Windows Office and choose Office 365, I see 360 Safeguard installed.

"All of our devices are integrated with the solution."
"The product does not slow down the machine."

"ESET Endpoint Security’s most valuable feature is the management console."

"In 360 Safeguard, there is something called the menu or advanced menu support, a process that I find to be a little bit awkward."
