VM
Feb 20, 2024
Provides good customer service and support and real-time threat intelligence and adaptive capabilities
With antivirus products, it depends on the features available. Does it protect the hypervisor and the Hyper-V VMs? Do we need to install agents in the VMs, or will the entire solution manage the VMs itself? Depending on that, we configure it and even help the customer accordingly. Moreover, real-time threat intelligence and adaptive capabilities benefit our organization. For example, if someone is trying to access our server with stolen credentials. So, as far as the sign-in logging is enabled and analyzed by the threat intelligence, it will identify that. It will recognize the pattern of the requests. So, it may try multiple times within a specific timeframe. It can discern the behavior of the user request and create an alert indicating there is a possibility of a credential test and generate an alert. The system can identify the pattern. It identifies a pattern of a person, the request, where it's coming from, and what location. Is it a blocked IP address if the request is coming from there? Or is it a suspected IP address range the request is coming from? The sign-in request is just one example. There can be any other kind of request. So, there may be many patterns that it will identify, assess, and decide on whether it is a critical, medium, or low critical event. Based on that, the event management by the threat intelligence is automated. The human is not involved there. The engine itself makes those decisions by assessing the data, the pattern, the behavior, the location, and all those parameters.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The installation process seems to be very straightforward."
"he initial setup is simple."
"I like that it's all automated"
"The solution is stable, which is why I have been using it for at least ten years, if not much longer."
"The protection on offer is very fast."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It's my understanding that the initial setup isn't too difficult."
"I have found McAfee MOVE AntiVirus more secure than other antivirus solutions."
"VMware NSX's overlay network is its most valuable feature, as it aligns with any network philosophy and allows for efficient addressing mechanisms. Additionally, the ability to extend the on-premise network into the provider space is beneficial. There are many features provided."
"The solution is very good at micro-segmentation."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's initial setup process was easy."
"The most valuable feature of VMware NSX is the ease of use and its user friendly. For example, it is simple to change the subnet masks."
"VMware NSX offers some of the best features for security, such as micro-segmentation."
"Any administrator with basic networking knowledge, in a couple of days, can be in full control of their networking without going through a networking engineer."
"The micro-segmentation and the ability to create policy rules are valuable."
"NSX gives us the ability to put our network, NSX, onto any network there is, which allows us not to have to go to the network team to create networks our VLANs for networks."
 

Cons

"One problem is that when you switch on the system, Windows 10 takes almost two to three minutes to get initiated and then McAfee adds on to it because it starts scanning automatically."
"I'd prefer more frequent updates."
"Sometimes, the updates don't happen successfully. The updates start, but they are not completed. Let's say there is a process that runs on the server-side every night, and it pushes the updates. Sometimes, these updates fail. I'm not sure whether it is a McAfee's problem or an internal problem with our systems. If this is really an issue with McAfee MOVE AntiVirus, McAfee can work on it and improve it in the next release. If it is an internal issue, I need to figure out why it is happening within the organization. We may need to take some technical support from McAfee to see what the problem is and then we need to get it fixed. At this point in time, all I know is that it happens sometimes."
"The solution could improve security."
"They could improve the monitoring and classification of the data features."
"SentinelOne provides a cloud solution that McAfee MOVE AntiVirus should as well. When all other vendors come out with new features they are implemented by all the other vendors within a few months. However, this is not the case with McAfee MOVE AntiVirus. They should update their features more often to be more competitive with the market."
"The threat protection could be improved."
"McAfee MOVE AntiVirus needs to be made more secure, as it is one of the areas where the product lacks."
"They could branch out to the physical layer."
"Going through and getting more features sets from the routing protocols is definitely necessary for the future."
"Our technical team is always looking for the solutions that they work with to offer more convenient integrations."
"We would like tenant segmentation available in future releases."
"I want to see the solution expand to more than just the network, for example, perhaps it could provide some VLAN technologies."
"In the next release, they should enhance the visual interface. With NSX-T, it's difficult to communicate between the public cloud and the container."
"The network-extending capabilities for the physical environment need improvement."
"The technical support could use some improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have purchased a three-year license to use the solution and the price is reasonable."
"We have purchased an annual license to use this solution. The price of the solution could be lower."
"The solution is affordable."
"For McAfee, I think it's already paid until 2023 because it's added on with the Windows 10 license pricing from Dell. I had to pay it on the Dell website, which includes the licensing cost of Windows 10 and McAfee."
"We are on an annual license for the use of McAfee MOVE AntiVirus. The annual maintenance is built into the license."
"There is a need to pay towards the licensing charges of the product on a yearly basis. The product is not way too expensive"
"The subscription for the solution is annually or every three years."
"The solution is not expensive."
"The pricing model for VMware NSX is good."
"If five is a good price and one is a high price, I would rate the price a one out of five."
"The pricing is higher than other options from Palo Alto, Fortinet, and Cisco because it is sold in a bundle."
"The product pricing ranges from medium to expensive. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"The subscription is on a yearly basis."
"It is an expensive product, but cheaper than some competing solutions."
"I would rate the pricing of VMware NSX as seven out of ten"
"We are using a perpetual license to use the solution and we have support."
