I would rate the initial setup an eight out of ten. There are a few technical challenges with the deployment, but it can easily solved by an experienced professional but not by a beginner user of the tool. The complete implementation and migration to McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator will take around three months. If someone is using a software platform already with implemented use cases in their environment, it might be difficult to implement the same use cases when the customer is migrating to McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator. The conditions and prior alert settings needs to be accurate when migrating to McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator, otherwise false positive alerts might get generated.

I've interacted with products like Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, and others. I've also seen a few of my clients who are using Kaspersky. But for a complete portfolio, McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is rich. It offers a full range of products that can cover all the needs, other than maybe patching applications for different solutions.

We previously used Symantec, and if we compare it to McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator, McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is better. When we are upgrading, or applying patches, it's easy. When we did the same thing for Symantec, we had to use different software to do the upgrades and patching. However, Symantec has improved over the years.

Pricing
