Mark: Hi, my name is Mark. I'm the sales director and an MSP, and I would give ESET Endpoint Security a four out of five. We had a mixture before ESET, of sort of like Norton and McAfee and Symantec. It was sort of a mix match, and we wanted something to put everybody under. So that was why we rolled into ESET. And we had a good portal to manage all the end points from. Very good cost, as being one of the reasons why we chose ESET for as many end points as we were adding, along with a great product, great reporting. And like I said, a free portal to manage all the end points from. Was very easy, very easy. We placed our order, and next thing you know, within a day we had everything start moving on getting it set up and making sure it was on all the different machines we were adding it to. I think we may have even put it on servers at the time, I forget, but it was pretty easy getting everything rolled out. I would definitely give it a try. There's a lot of products out there that do pretty much the same thing. So it's a very competitive market, but ESET is very competitive in that market. It offers a very high quality product at a very low price.

Speaker 1: Hi, my name is Karambir. I'm CEN. I give OpenVPN a three, and for more reviews like this, you can click the link below. I was using a Windscribe before OpenVPN, which is okay. But I couldn't run it through my router. So OpenVPN I can use through my router. Windscribe, it was too complicated. I couldn't do it. I chose OpenVPN, because that was the only thing that my router's software supports. I'm using a wifi hotspot, and OpenVPN was the only choice, so I really didn't have any options other than that. So open VPN through my router is only at the command line, so it was really complicated to get started. I had to do a lot of legwork and internet searching on my own, and none of the players had any information really to provide on how to set up my router. So I did eventually get it to work, but I had to do all the work. It's really, really learning intensive in that regard. So if you're thinking of using OpenVPN in a similar setting, which is through your router at the command line, I would look to see, what are all the other options? Maybe even a different router and what's performance, because performance is seriously degraded through OpenVPN. The upside is the security of the connection. So it's a trade off, but I would look around to see all the options that are available when purchasing hardware as well.
