Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 usability is the most valuable feature.""The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Encryption is its rate of capturing viruses and malware.""It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The most valuable feature is that everything is done on the server.""The initial setup is easy.""The setup is getting easier."

"The solution is excellent for protecting users from data being exploited. It's also great for preventing data leakage.""It provides encryption, data protection, and DLP, all under one roof. The deployment, scalability, and reporting is too good. My clients are satisfied with the stability of the product. The solution is highly scalable. The technical support's response time and turnaround time as the solution provider are excellent. The availability of great back-end support and process support makes the product great. The initial setup is straightforward, with simple configurations. I recommend the solution.""Technical support is very helpful.""With proper policies and configuration, it prevents sending corporate data to both cloud storage or to flash drives and data extraction.""In addition, it is easy to use, and you can define rules that protect the database beyond the built-in rules of the product. I found another purpose for the product besides the basic things that it does, protecting the database: privileged use, weak authentication, SQL injection and and database platform vulnerability.""It is capable of acting as Web control, Device Control, or Data Control.""All of the Complete Data products are valuable.""The most valuable feature is security."

Cons
"I would like to see better compatibility with mobile devices.""ESET Endpoint Encryption needs to improve pricing and security.""The overall compatibility of the device is an area where the solution lacks.""From an admin perspective, the solution's UI could be more user-friendly.""Sometimes the server console is very slow, so the performance could be improved.""Integration with central management needs improvement.""The initial setup could be made easier.""I would like more robust reporting as part of the Remote Administrator."

More ESET Endpoint Encryption Cons →

"The solution should be more user-friendly.""The refresh feature needs improvement. You need to refresh it manually yt going to the address bar, clicking on it and pressing enter, or pressing F5. There should be a button you can click on to refresh or have it so every five seconds it's refreshing.""Initial setup was complex.""There are compatibility issues with the Chrome browser.""Though there may be some ransomware detection modules now in McAfee Complete Data Protection, it's a field that McAfee should focus on, particularly having integration with some EDR or other add-ons. This is so McAfee Complete Data Protection would have more accuracy in detecting new ransomware in the market. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is for its pricing to be more cost-effective because some competitors have cheaper pricing, so McAfee Complete Data Protection can't compete. Sometimes, some new vendors offer other solutions rather than McAfee Complete Data Protection, to win customers over, and this is a loss for McAfee.""There was an option for SQL setup in the older versions of this product and it has been removed, but we would like to see it made available as an add-on.""This solution does not do as well at protecting the end-user against unknown viruses.""A better GUI platform would make it easier to present information to management; I would not need to fix the data before I present it."

    Overview

    ESET Endpoint Encryption is a simple-to-use encryption application for companies large and small. Take advantage of the optimized setup that speeds up the time to adoption for admins. The client side requires no user interaction, increasing user compliance and the security of your company data.

    Sensitive data is constantly at risk of loss, theft, and exposure. Many times, the data simply walks right out the front door on a laptop or USB device. Companies that suffer such a data loss risk serious consequences, including regulatory penalties, public disclosure, brand damage, customer distrust, and financial losses. According to a Ponemon Institute report, 7% of all corporate laptops will be lost or stolen sometime during their useful life. The rapid proliferation of mobile devices with large storage capacities and often internet access is opening up even more channels for data loss or theft, so protecting sensitive, proprietary, and personally identifiable information must be a top priority. McAfee Complete Data Protection Suites address all of these concerns and many more.
