Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Encryption solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup is easy."
"It is very secure and we have finally decided to use this after a thorough check. The interface is easy to navigate."
"ESET Endpoint Encryption works as an antivirus system."
"The product is easy to implement and configure."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The Remote Administrator is the most valuable feature that ESET offers for us. Centralized management of our ESET environment is what I like about the Remote Administrator."
"The setup is getting easier."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Encryption is its rate of capturing viruses and malware."
"The installation process is pretty straightforward."
"We have been very satisfied with the solution's security capabilities."
"We can extend it to all of the critical endpoints and the servers, and we can ensure the confidentiality of the data."
"The encryption feature is very good."
"The most valuable feature is that it works in the background so that the end-users are not aware of what is happening on the laptop."
"The initial setup was easy."
"The management console gives us the ability to quickly control who sees what, ensures we are on the latest version, and up-to-date."
"We find the dashboard, endpoint mobile encryption, and email encryption valuable."
"There should be more frequent updates."
"Integration with central management needs improvement."
"I would like to see better compatibility with mobile devices."
"The solution should have better synchronization with active directory users and passwords for use in the encryption."
"The overall compatibility of the device is an area where the solution lacks."
"I would like more robust reporting as part of the Remote Administrator."
"There could be an option for users to restart the system without a password."
"If you have issues with your network, you can't get updates, which is a problem."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"One feature that is lacking is integration with Symantec Information Centric (ICT). As it is now, I don't see how to integrate the encryption with ICT, and in my opinion this is an area that certainly requires encryption, even though it's no longer supported by Broadcom."
"Its decryption time needs to be improved. Currently, its decryption time is very long, and it takes double time than encryption. They need to work on that. Its encryption time is fine."
"What I didn't find helpful in the version we used is the fact that all devices had to be on the same network for us to push through the encryption."
"The product can be expensive. Price was a factor in moving away from the product."
"The solution does slow down the device a little bit, once it's installed."
"The GUI could use some enhancement, particularly in making option sets easier to locate on client machines."
"Its remote deployment should be improved. Currently, there is no remote deployment for Symantec Endpoint Encryption. You have to install it manually. There are some issues with AD integration and the time taken to reflect a password on the Endpoint Encryption Manager when a new user has changed the password, but they are already working on these issues, and these will be resolved in the next release."
