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.

Donald N: My name is Don. I'm a photographer, and I use AVG AntiVirus Business Edition. I give it a five out of five. I've been using McAfee before I used the AVG. I had McAfee, I was paying a monthly subscription and it ended up going up after one year. So over the past two years, I've been using the AVG Business Edition, and that's been my only virus protection program that I'm using currently since this past two years. My reason for choosing the AVG is because McAfee, the pricing kept changing. It was getting more expensive after the one year and then after when it got onto the two year mark and I just was hesitant to continue with it. Mainly based on the price and I just didn't really locked their practices of one time giving me a discount then the discount didn't last and I was just figuring that it was on a trend going up over time. So I said, I wanted something more stable as regard to price and where I could give to something that was just going to work best for me and then I have a clue of what to expect later. The onboarding was really easy. I just went on Google, I searched for AVG, and once I went to the website and I just put in some basic information about me and my company, just went ahead and set up the registration for it, downloaded it and it downloaded very quickly. It was easy to set up the scheduled scans and I was able to do quick scans, full scans, all that, and everything was laid out in a format to me that it was much simpler than McAfee. So just getting on there, getting set up and registered, it just went really quickly for me. It was very easy. I didn't have any trouble at all of setting it up, and I'm not having any issues just even remaining with it. Everything's been working properly and no frustration at all. Definitely recommend that people can sign up for it to see how easy it is and see for themselves that AVG does work well. It has the ability to scan and find viruses or threats to the computer. So whenever if that there was a threat detected, it'll let me know. And so just by using it, setting it up, and practicing with it is great. So I'd recommend just going for it and just seeing for yourself that it really does work. It's got easy format and it's definitely something that is worthwhile.
