Room for Improvement

    Product version discussed: 7-8
    For managing multiple MFE firewalls it is incredibly handy but it could be easier for customers to migrate from one version to another.

    What is most valuable?

    For managing multiple MFE firewalls it is incredibly handy, convenient, and it is easy to use the product with McAfee Control Centre. This provides a most valuable means to manage all your firewalls.

    How has it helped my organization?

    Using it with control centre allows you to manage all McAfee Firewalls using a central accounting and authorisation system such as Cisco ACS, Radius or Active Directory. It also allows for a ticketing/workflow system which competes with Checkpoint.

    We cannot find resources to help us configure it, so most of the time the virus still goes on our computer and McAfee doesn't detect it

    Pros

    "It does give certain protection for everything that is well configured on our McAfee server. We have good protection with it. If we could find a feature and make it work, it would work perfectly, there would be no bugs, and it would be really good."

    Cons

    "Customer support and AV are both lacking and are really hard to come to you when the product is installed. Those are the two major points that they need to work on."

    What is our primary use case?

    We use this for protection against virus and malware on our endpoint. It hasn't been that great because we cannot find resources to help us configure it, so most of the time the virus still goes on our computer and McAfee doesn't detect it.

    How has it helped my organization?

    It does give certain protection for everything that is well configured on our McAfee server. We have good protection with it. If we could find a feature and make it work, it would work perfectly, there would be no bugs, and it would be really good. For our organization, what it's really helped with is the overall security protection. Now we need a little bit more because we have had a couple of virus episodes, so we need better protection and better resources to help us. That's why we chose Cisco, but for McAfee, everything that was well-configured was working perfectly on our endpoint.

    It is a good tool for securing networks but they need to improve the administration of the firewall.

    SSL VPN should be supported but you can customize ports.

    What is most valuable?

    • Customize rules creation
    • Customize port

    How has it helped my organization?

    We have experienced many hardware failures in this product, and SSL VPN should be supported.
