A stable solution with good support that assists us with GDPR compliance
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is that everything is done on the server."
  • "Sometimes the server console is very slow, so the performance could be improved."

What is our primary use case?

We have many projects that contain personal and confidential data that we have to protect. When we perform searches, we need to have the data encrypted because it protects our clients. It is also part of the GDPR compliance.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is that everything is done on the server. When we send data to our clients, they cannot do anything that we do not allow.

What needs improvement?

Sometimes the server console is very slow, so the performance could be improved.

The documentation is in need of improvement.

Scalability needs to be improved because we have a lot of computers and it is affecting us.

A lot of spam emails still get through, so I think that this is an area that can be improved.

There is a bug with the licensing that has been a problem for at least a couple of years, which is something that they need to fix.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using ESET Endpoint Encryption for the past four or five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This solution is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

With respect to scalability, this is something that ESET needs to improve. We have a lot of computers operating both onsite and offsite, and things such as the licensing are a problem for us. We have approximately 50 users.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is very good. They are responsive and fast.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We were using Symantec Endpoint Protection prior to using ESET.

How was the initial setup?

My understanding is that the setup was not too complex. The solution was deployed in about two days.

What about the implementation team?

One of our administrators took care of the implementation.

One or two people are required for maintenance.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated many different solutions before settling on ESET.

What other advice do I have?

My advice to anybody who is implementing this solution is to have a good knowledge of what it is that you want to do. If all of the policies have been decided with respect to what you want to allow, and what you do not want to allow, then it will be easy to deploy this solution on all of the clients.

With any product, there is always something that can be improved.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

A user-friendly solution for securing our corporate documents
Pros and Cons
  • "This solution can be centrally managed."
  • "I would like to see better compatibility with mobile devices."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use this software for the protection of documents, both internal and those that we send out to clients.

What is most valuable?

This solution can be centrally managed.

The interface is user-friendly.

ESET will check to make sure that your operating system is up to date, which is one of the features that I really like. For example, if there is an update available from Microsoft and you have not done it, then it will remind you to get back on track.

What needs improvement?

The updates could be improved and also done more frequently.

I would like to see better compatibility with mobile devices. Most of the time, people are connecting to our server using their mobile device.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using ESET Endpoint Encryption for between four and five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This solution is normally stable but sometimes, when Microsoft updates Windows, we have challenges.  For example, we had trouble with the Windows 10, 1909 update. However, since we completed the patch, there have been no major issues.

We use it on a daily basis for our corporate documents.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would not say that it is easy to scale this application, at first, but it is manageable. 

How are customer service and technical support?

I have been in contact with the local ESET support and I am happy with their service.

How was the initial setup?

The documentation and instructions are very basic and it is easy to set up. It takes 30 or 40 minutes to deploy on each machine.

What about the implementation team?

I found it user-friendly during the setup and you may only need to contact a consultant if you are getting stuck.

What other advice do I have?

ESET is a product that I recommend people switch to for encrypting their documents.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

A stable solution which provides good visibility
Pros and Cons
  • "The initial setup is easy."
  • "The solution should have better synchronization with active directory users and passwords for use in the encryption."

What is most valuable?

What needs improvement?

The pricing is middling and could be a bit lower. 

The solution should have better synchronization with active directory users and passwords for use in the encryption. A single sign-on would be useful.

I have been using ESET Endpoint Encryption for around a half a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

So far we have had no problems with the solution's stability.

As I am a partner of the ESET seller, I occasionally contact technical support, but not often. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is easy.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is mid-ranged and could be more cost-effective. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate ESET Endpoint Encryption as an eight out of ten.
