Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support has been very good. They are helpful and responsive."
"The maintenance is easy."
"The administration is its most valuable feature as I can see all versions in one place."
"The most valuable feature is the antispam module, which comes in the bundle."
"The solution's features and pricing are pretty good."
"The most valuable features are the sandbox, mail scanning, sandboxing attachments, files, and that it responds to VPN porting."
"The solution is easy to install and configure."
"The protection and device control features are the most valuable. I found its user interface and integration pretty good. It is very user friendly as compared to other products."
"Trend Micro has DLP features in it, which separates it from other solutions."
"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
"Dependable with ease of integration with other security products."
"I find Trend Micro Cloud App Security useful for scanning our email boxes. We can scan them one by one, which is a good feature. It's not just gateway-level protection - we integrate the email system with it. They have special protection and parameters for phishing emails."
"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is its stability across all platforms."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"They should focus more on the offline market as well. Everybody is connected nowadays, and they want to do everything via cloud or fast internet connections, however, that's still not possible in many situations."
"In terms of what is lacking in ESET, it really would need more features for the users when they are working outside of the corporate network."
"I don't know if it's possible but I'm always looking for better protection."
"The solution is not ideal for use in large enterprises"
"I suspect there will be some changes required to ESET because some experts I know just moved to MDR. I can imagine there might be some issues that were not fully covered by the ESET Endpoint that would be covered by MDR that we're on now."
"Dual management for the customer, who needs to access the local on-premise console from a remote cloud-based console."
"ESET Endpoint Security lacks some advanced functionalities and features which would be useful to be interconnected with the solutions we use, such as Microsoft 365."
"The proactive feature is excellent, but I do not believe ESET will make any changes to this feature in the future."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"The granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
"The solution's technical support services could be better."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
"It would be great if Trend Mail Cloud App Security would be joined with a web security solution, making it a multiple-network solution."
"For improvements, I think it would be great if Trend Micro Cloud App Security could enhance their product to be a single SASE solution. It should be similar to competitors like Palo Alto."
"They should provide separate corporate-level licenses for two to three instances."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing can be a bit more flexible."
"It is not expensive, but it is also not inexpensive."
"The price of ESET Endpoint Security is affordable."
"It's a cost-effective product"
"The solution costs around $20 or $30 per user per year."
"For 200 or so users, it might cost around $10,000 or so. That is for a first-time purchase. A renewal may come in at $7,000 to $8,000, or around 20% to 30% less. This is a rough estimate of what to expect."
"Customers buy the ESET Endpoint Security license for a year, two years, or 36 months."
"ESET is perfect, if you can afford it."
"The product's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"The pricing of the solution could be better."
"The cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
"The price of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is expensive for regular users. There are not any hidden fees. First-time users of the solution should purchase implementation packages or professional services."
