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.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are some inexpensive products compared to ESET Endpoint Encryption, but they lack the essential features."
"Instead of installing ESET on each machine at each location, we just do it remotely. This has been a time saver for us."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the highest, I rate its pricing a two."
"ESET Endpoint Encryption is moderately priced."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is mid-ranged and could be more cost-effective."
