An antivirus system that is scalable and stable but needs improvement in pricing and security
ESET Endpoint Encryption works as an antivirus system.  The product is reasonable.  ESET Endpoint Encryption needs to improve pricing and security.  ESET Endpoint Encryption is stable.  The product is scalable. My company has 3000 users.  I haven't used technical support much.  ESET Endpoint…

Though it provides good endpoint security, there is a need to improve scalability
I don't have any idea about the implementation part because the tool was configured in my company's infrastructure. When I joined the organization, everything was configured. Currently, I am involved in the endpoint management and control. My company uses the product for the endpoints in our company so that it offers protection against viruses and other malicious activities. My company operates as a service provider, owing to which we deal with multiple clients and their data, which are stored in a PDF format. My company also provides applications to our clients. There are different types of data that my company protects from malicious activities and ransomware attacks. The most beneficial part of the product for our company's security needs stems from the fact that it offers an agentless service, which makes it better to manage our endpoint devices. I am not the right person to speak about how the full disc encryption capability of Trend Micro has impacted our data protection strategies since I am not the right person to provide any information about it. I am a system engineer who manages virtualization tools like VMware. There is a separate team for endpoint management in my organization. Speaking about the user experience and management console of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption, I would say that the product offers a very unique GUI. The unique GUI of the tool makes it possible to easily use the management console for some tasks, like creating and downloading reports. There is a separate team with six to seven engineers in my company to manage the troubleshooting part of endpoint solutions. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. The product is easy to use. The product is useful in the area of ePO reporting. It is very easy to create general reports with the product. I rate the overall product a seven out of ten.

"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is very secure and we have finally decided to use this after a thorough check. The interface is easy to navigate."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Encryption is its rate of capturing viruses and malware."
"The setup is getting easier."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy, considering the management console and software."

Cons

"The initial setup could be made easier."
"The solution should have better synchronization with active directory users and passwords for use in the encryption."
"The product should be more responsive regarding feedback if it detects something in our infrastructure. I believe there's a backend that their engineers use to detect viruses in our system. We would appreciate it if they could promptly provide feedback and give us recommendations on how to better protect our infrastructure beyond their system. Additionally, we hope for improved integration with the other systems we currently use. It would be beneficial if they could collaborate to create something that facilitates integration between these systems."
"ESET Endpoint Encryption needs to improve pricing and security."
"Integration with central management needs improvement."
"If you have issues with your network, you can't get updates, which is a problem."
"There should be more frequent updates."
"I would like more robust reporting as part of the Remote Administrator."
"It is not easy to integrate with third party solutions."
"They need to come up with cloud solutions."
"There are recovery issues that arise."
"Compared to Bitlocker or McAfee Disk Encryption, it's not quite as robust."
"In the next release, it would be better if it was more user-friendly. It is a little complicated for the average technical person. If they can make it more user-friendly, it would be much easier and more helpful."
"Should have more features of Deep Scanning"
"It would be great if this solution had support for file integrity monitoring."
"I would like to see more integration. Good cloud-based solutions need to be arrayed. I'd like to see better integration with administrative tools as well as Active Directory integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ESET Endpoint Encryption is moderately priced."
"Instead of installing ESET on each machine at each location, we just do it remotely. This has been a time saver for us."
"The National University System dedicates 500 of their 5000 licenses to us, which is $14/yr per device. Most companies are paying $99 or $120 per device a year."
"The pricing is mid-ranged and could be more cost-effective."
"Licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"We paid for an annual subscription, and it was reasonable."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the highest, I rate its pricing a two."
"It is neither very expensive, nor cheap. Overall it is affordable and there is a long term arrangement between our company and the solution providers for license."
"The drive encryption of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption could improve. Some of my customers have some problems."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is high price, and ten is low price."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly."
"We pay for Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption every six months. The price of the solution is reasonable."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"You have to pay for the license annually."
"One of the reasons we decided to go with Trend Micro Endpoint Security is because of its cost effectiveness."
