Manager, Information Technology at a healthcare company with 201-500 employees
encryption works well but needs a fix for compatibility with the latest Windows version
I have used it in the past because it works quite well for encryption. It's better than trying to just use BitLocker, which is a pain from a management standpoint. It works up to this point. My issue is that I need to roll it out on new machines, and I can't get the application to work correctly. It's encrypted at rest, so I can't use the data if I'm not logged in correctly into the laptop with the correct user credentials.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution's UI is user-friendly. Even a non-technical person can use it."
"The setup is getting easier."
"The product is easy to implement and configure."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Encryption is its rate of capturing viruses and malware."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Encryption is the high level of encryption protection."
"This solution can be centrally managed."
"The tool does not slow down the computer."
"The Central Management server."
 

Cons

"There should be more frequent updates."
"The overall compatibility of the device is an area where the solution lacks."
"There could be an option for users to restart the system without a password."
"I would like more robust reporting as part of the Remote Administrator."
"If you have issues with your network, you can't get updates, which is a problem."
"The solution should have better synchronization with active directory users and passwords for use in the encryption."
"From an admin perspective, the solution's UI could be more user-friendly."
"The product should be more responsive regarding feedback if it detects something in our infrastructure. I believe there's a backend that their engineers use to detect viruses in our system. We would appreciate it if they could promptly provide feedback and give us recommendations on how to better protect our infrastructure beyond their system. Additionally, we hope for improved integration with the other systems we currently use. It would be beneficial if they could collaborate to create something that facilitates integration between these systems."
"MacOS X is missing features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ESET Endpoint Encryption is moderately priced."
"Licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"The pricing is mid-ranged and could be more cost-effective."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the highest, I rate its pricing a two."
"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."
"Instead of installing ESET on each machine at each location, we just do it remotely. This has been a time saver for us."
"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.
