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.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the highest, I rate its pricing a two."
"The pricing is mid-ranged and could be more cost-effective."

"Licensing and pricing is on par with the market."
