Hello peers,
I am an EFT Network Infrastructure and Digital Channels Security Technologist at a large financial services firm.
I am currently researching both ESET Endpoint Encryption and Symantec Endpoint Encryption and would like to know which in your opinion is better based on the following criteria:
1) Which product is rated to be better in terms of encryption capabilities, vendor support, ease of use, ease of deployment, user-friendliness, and effectiveness?
2) We already have ESET EPP on our environment as our Malware Management Protection solution.
3) We have about 1300 workstations targeted for encryption in our environments.
Thank you for your help.
Both ESET Endpoint Encryption and Symantec Endpoint Encryption are powerful encryption solutions that can protect your data from unauthorized access. However, there are some key differences between the two solutions that can help you decide which encryption solution is better.
ESET Endpoint Encryption is a bit easier to use and deploy than Symantec Endpoint Encryption. It also has a better reputation for vendor support. However, Symantec Endpoint Encryption has a wider range of features and is more scalable.
Here is a table summarizing the key differences between ESET Endpoint Encryption and Symantec Endpoint Encryption:

ESET Endpoint Encryption may be a good choice for anyone looking for an easy-to-use and deployable solution with good vendor support. Anyone who needs a solution with a wider range of features and scalability won't go wrong with Symantec Endpoint Encryption.
In your case, since you already have ESET EPP in your environment as your Malware Management Protection solution, it may be more convenient to use ESET Endpoint Encryption for your encryption needs.
