Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Easy to use security solution, helps to secure connected devices against viruses in the digital world."
"Advanced level endpoint firewall, which helps to block unwanted and malicious traffic."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use and maintain while also being fully encrypted."
"The most valuable features of ESET Endpoint Antivirus are the search engine, easy firewall setup, and ransomware scans."
"It has a clean and clear interface."
"I rate ESET Endpoint Security eight out of 10 for ease of setup. Setting up ESET can be straightforward or complicated depending on the customer's environment. The deployment time varies, but it's typically around five days. We have a team of four or five people involved in the deployment. Only one person is needed for maintenance. The only maintenance is adjusting the configuration of the dashboard."
"The overall security capability of the product is pretty reliable."
"In terms of the current global landscape, it is a great solution."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is its stability across all platforms."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Our business emails are very important and Trend Micro Cloud App Security has provided a high level of protection. Additionally, there are updating the solution frequently."
"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."
"Dependable with ease of integration with other security products."
"Trend Micro has DLP features in it, which separates it from other solutions."
"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."
"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
 

Cons

"The user interface of ESET Endpoint Security could be more user-friendly and more features could be added."
"It's hard to get support for ESET in Hong Kong and China. There's a number to call that goes nowhere. You can upgrade to the premium service, but there are a few restrictions."
"On the solution's website, it is sometimes difficult to figure out how to download the exact product associated with your purchased license."
"The use of SQL Server can be improved. At times, there is a bit of challenge while linking it with the Javascript. ESET Endpoint Security requires modern technology or modern equipment on site. You will find it difficult to use ESET Endpoint Security with dual-core machines. If they can add the cloud management feature to their product, it will be much easier. If you look at this COVID situation that we are in right now, people are working from home, so you need to control the computers wherever you are. For example, if you are using any email setup and you are hosting it on your own, all the email traffic will be going through the same network. You need to protect all of your computers from the attack. It is best if you can do it remotely rather than having an IT person to come onsite to manage all computers and metrics etc, which isn't a smart way to do it."
"ESET Endpoint Security should offer more integration with multi-attack frameworks."
"We do get false positives."
"While we see dangers within our security system, it would help if there were popups that could immediately alert us or the user of the endpoint that something was detected."
"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."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"There is room for improvement in the DLP component of Trend Micro Cloud App Security."
"The granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
"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."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
"The solution's technical support services could be better."
"They should provide separate corporate-level licenses for two to three instances."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be a little lower."
"Pricing per month, for security services as apps in CEE pricing: up to €2 monthly is OK."
"As is the general rule with anything, the solution could be cheaper."
"It is not expensive, but it is also not inexpensive."
"I'd have to look through my records, however, we paid maybe $600 to $1000 for this product."
"The price could be lower, but it's comparable, as other solutions have a similar price for the same effect."
"There is a license required to use ESET Endpoint Security."
"The solution's license is moderately priced."
"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 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."
"The cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
