"The most valuable feature is that everything is done on the server."
"The setup is getting easier."
"The product is easy to implement and configure."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The usability is the most valuable feature."
"The initial setup was easy."
"We can extend it to all of the critical endpoints and the servers, and we can ensure the confidentiality of the data."
"It has reduced the number of incidents related to the loss of information."
"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."
"I like the management aspect of this solution. You don't want to have end-users tweak or set it themselves, so the fact that you could do it from a central point helped us a lot."
"We find the dashboard, endpoint mobile encryption, and email encryption valuable."
"One notable aspect is the ability to customize alerts and other settings."
"You get updates and other encrypted files easily."
"I would like more robust reporting as part of the Remote Administrator."
"If you have issues with your network, you can't get updates, which is a problem."
"The solution should have better synchronization with active directory users and passwords for use in the encryption."
"There should be more frequent updates."
"Integration with central management needs improvement."
"ESET Endpoint Encryption needs to improve pricing and security."
"I would like to see better compatibility with mobile devices."
"From an admin perspective, the solution's UI could be more user-friendly."
"I would like them to have integration with a wider range of non-Symantec products."
"The agent can be improved on the solution. Right now, we have an Endpoint Protection agent as well as an encryption agent and another for the DLVs and other services. We would prefer a single agent for the entire product."
"From an administration point of view, maybe it would be ideal to have it centrally managed."
"It was hard to install and took us about three months."
"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."
"I can only patch monthly. I don't know what the solution is there, besides being vulnerable for three weeks out of four. But there's got to be an option somehow."
"We would like some advanced security protection features."
"There are some issues with the single sign-on with the active directory. We had a few problems related to the synchronization between the active directory and the login features of the Symantec products because the users made many password changes during the day. The time for synchronization with the solutions can be improved. I would like to see mobile encryption. There should be a possibility to include all the mobiles of a company in the console. Many customers are asking about encryptions for tablets or cell phones, but we don't have any product that we are comfortable with to recommend to our customers."
