The tool's most valuable feature is visibility but needs improvement in Kubernetes
We use the product in the production environment of server infrastructure.  The tool's most valuable feature is its visibility.  Kubernetes is not installed in the way we need it.  I have been using the product since October.  We faced some minor issues, but overall, the product is stable. I…

Centralized system, less stress on the network and runs smoothly
Since we're fully virtualized, it integrates seamlessly. We use the agent for deployment within the environment. Management is centralized, so updates, deployments, and reporting are done through the main console.  We have a lot of flexibility in scheduling and configuring how your antivirus…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The interface and dashboard are amazing."
"The label-based segmentation is the most valuable feature."
"From day one, you get threat intelligence. It will immediately block active threats, which has been useful."
"Guardicore makes its own rule set automatically, so we can work fast when creating a rule set."
"Initially, I liked the telemetry part. But later, we used the microsegmentation features that we were able to deploy and found that they really stood out from other vendors. It allows us to see microsegmentation as distributed services."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its visibility."
"The tool is a complete package that offers many features like visibility. You can get a graph with real-time workflows and visibility into server-to-server communication. We get visibility into many things happening within our environment."
"Guardicore Centra offers the best coverage specifically in backward compatibility with legacy operating systems."
"It's valuable for protection and internet safety."
"I like that it keeps my systems secure."
"The most beneficial aspect of McAfee MOVE AntiVirus is its compatibility. I have heard from friends that it is more adaptable than other antivirus programs, particularly for those using different operating systems, such as Mac OS. This cross-platform compatibility is a valuable feature of McAfee MOVE AntiVirus."
"We receive great technical support."
"The overall features are very good, it can detect viruses even in a document when you're trying to open them. Additionally, it is very easy to use and has regular updates."
"The solution is scalable. There are approximately 30 users using it in my organization."
"The technical support is good. They are fast to respond and they have weekend support."
"MOVE AntiVirus helps us deal with hacking and other threats in our environment. We have two or three layers of additional security on top of the firewall, and the other thing is data security. MOVE helps us cover such things."
 

Cons

"Kubernetes is not installed in the way we need it."
"The maps could go a bit faster. They are useful but slightly slow."
"They can maybe improve their customer service just because they are kind of a small organization, and customer service isn't as big as others such as VMware."
"In our version, when using the terminal server, we cannot exclude user tasks for each session."
"The long-term management of the security policies could be improved with some kind of automation platform, something like Chef or Puppet or Ansible, to help you manage the policies after day-one... to then manage the policies and changes to those policies, going forward, through some type of automation process is not turning out to be really easy."
"It would be very helpful for beginners if the solution had more windows to help with the terms inside instead of going to the documentation."
"I would rate the stability a six out of ten, where one is low and ten is high stability."
"Clients would like to see that the security policies of GuardiCore can continue to be comparable to all the major firewall players out there."
"McAfee MOVE AntiVirus does not support integration with other devices, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The solution could improve by making the dashboards better."
"The performance is not very good."
"The solution must provide better pricing."
"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 threat protection could be improved."
"The solution could always be cheaper."
"It's an expensive solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to the pricing we were seeing from both Illumio and Edgewise, Guardicore was very competitive."
"Akamai Guardicore Segmentation is expensive."
"The solution is reasonably priced and I would rate it a six out of ten. The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"GuardiCore has made some new changes to the license now. We've seen monthly and annual licenses based on a subscription. We have a few clients that pay anywhere from $25,000 a year."
"This is not a cheap solution but you have to consider the bigger picture, which is what it is giving you."
"The pricing is too high."
"Guardicore Centra provides better value for money than NSX, was the other solution that we looked at, which was too expensive for what it does."
"The customer would complain about the cost."
"The pricing is cheap."
"We are on an annual license for the use of McAfee MOVE AntiVirus. The annual maintenance is built into the license."
"The licensing depends on the number of devices secured by this product."
"There is no monthly fee. You just purchase the tool."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"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."
"The solution could reduce the price of the solution. We are on an annual license."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
