Protects against threats and helps with ransomeware but needs optimization for lower resource usage
We are using ESET products for our clients, especially for entry-level protection tools. The demand for these tools is primarily coming from our clients, and we sometimes propose them to our clients as well We install the product in a standard way as a product. The primary purpose is to protect…

Though support needs improvement, the tool is easy to maintain and scale up
Veritas Desktop and Laptop Option's server and GUI are of an old style that could be improved.

The support team of the product lacks skills and needs improvement. I would have mentioned that Veritas needs to make their solution available in the cloud, but I am sure they already have it.
