We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The setup is getting easier.""The usability is the most valuable feature.""The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Encryption is the high level of encryption protection.""ESET Endpoint Encryption works as an antivirus system.""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.""This solution can be centrally managed.""It is very secure and we have finally decided to use this after a thorough check. The interface is easy to navigate.""The product is easy to implement and configure."

More ESET Endpoint Encryption Pros →

"The interface is user-friendly and it provides a large number of options.""In the configuration, you can restrict a user from accessing a removable drive.""It is capable of acting as Web control, Device Control, or Data Control.""We can scale the solution.""Complete Data Protection lets us define roles in our data products. It helps us identify something suspicious on the client's device.""I am satisfied with the customer service/technical support.""The most important feature of McAfee Complete Data Protection to my customers is the ePO or the management console. It's easy to use and it's scalable. You can also generate the reports you want on the console. It's a mature management console. The features that McAfee Complete Data Protection has, for example, anti-spam features and other features can also be found on other solutions, but the most unique feature you can find in the solution is the ePO itself, the management console.""With proper policies and configuration, it prevents sending corporate data to both cloud storage or to flash drives and data extraction."

Cons
"ESET Endpoint Encryption needs to improve pricing and security.""I would like more robust reporting as part of the Remote Administrator.""Integration with central management needs improvement.""I would like to see better compatibility with mobile devices.""The initial setup could be made easier.""There should be more frequent updates.""Sometimes the server console is very slow, so the performance could be improved.""The solution should have better synchronization with active directory users and passwords for use in the encryption."

More ESET Endpoint Encryption Cons →

"The product consumes too much RAM and CPU for its processing and this can lead to resource issues on PCs.""As a new technology, it does need to grow.""A better GUI platform would make it easier to present information to management; I would not need to fix the data before I present it.""In terms of where the solution could improve, it could integrate with network solutions for ADTs, email web gateways and discovery.""Though there may be some ransomware detection modules now in McAfee Complete Data Protection, it's a field that McAfee should focus on, particularly having integration with some EDR or other add-ons. This is so McAfee Complete Data Protection would have more accuracy in detecting new ransomware in the market. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is for its pricing to be more cost-effective because some competitors have cheaper pricing, so McAfee Complete Data Protection can't compete. Sometimes, some new vendors offer other solutions rather than McAfee Complete Data Protection, to win customers over, and this is a loss for McAfee.""Initial setup was complex.""The UI could be improved a bit.""The price is a little high and could be better."

    Overview

    ESET Endpoint Encryption is a simple-to-use encryption application for companies large and small. Take advantage of the optimized setup that speeds up the time to adoption for admins. The client side requires no user interaction, increasing user compliance and the security of your company data.

    Sensitive data is constantly at risk of loss, theft, and exposure. Many times, the data simply walks right out the front door on a laptop or USB device. Companies that suffer such a data loss risk serious consequences, including regulatory penalties, public disclosure, brand damage, customer distrust, and financial losses. According to a Ponemon Institute report, 7% of all corporate laptops will be lost or stolen sometime during their useful life. The rapid proliferation of mobile devices with large storage capacities and often internet access is opening up even more channels for data loss or theft, so protecting sensitive, proprietary, and personally identifiable information must be a top priority. McAfee Complete Data Protection Suites address all of these concerns and many more.
