Easy to setup, stable and good security use cases
I primarily use this solution for security.  I appreciate the good control it offers, which simplifies management. So, I feel confident using this solution. We need a more complete Mobile Device Management (MDM) system. I have been using Kaspersky for eight years. I use the latest version.  I…

Good user behavioral analysis and helpful patching but needs better support services
Some of our products have a first and second line owned by us. We are giving support services to the customers instead of the vendor. Some other products are supported directly by the technology vendor, however. Technical support from the vendor is very bad. Usually, when the customer submits a ticket, they put a severity level on the case. Whenever the case is very important, and there is a real malfunction in the product on the customer side, and there is something down that needs someone to have a look immediately, it takes more time than it should to even engage with the customer. When someone has to contact the customer and have a remote session within the customer environment, they sometimes lack in terms of communication with the customer. The support centers are located in the East and not all have an acceptable level of English in order to communicate directly with the customer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user interface is easy to maintain once it is setup."
"Endpoint Security is efficient and easy to use. It doesn't slow the performance of your personal computer."
"We have had no troubles installing, maintaining, or deploying the product for our clients."
"The initial setup was fairly simple, taking only a few minutes."
"It provides good security."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The solution is very easy to use. It's an extremely user-friendly product."
"I have found the security, device, web and application controls to be the most valuable features."
"I think the costing is fine compared to other products. Cost-wise you definitely get value for your money."
"The endpoint protection and disk encryption features are the most valuable."
"The product helps us by contacting us if there are any virus attacks on our system."
"McAfee Complete Endpoint Protection is stable. We don't have any bugs being reported."
"The product is fairly reliable."
"The solution is reliable."
"The most valuable features are reporting from the ePO console and the advanced threat protection (ATP)."
"I like trap prevention DNS and threat prevention."
 

Cons

"We would like it so that if a user uses it on-premises, the server should use fewer hardware resources."
"It would be great if, as an additional feature, you could download updates without deploying updates to end users."
"he next thing that I would like to see in this solution are DLP features."
"The process for upgrades is very slow."
"When we connect to the solutions' website they block out our VPN connection. This causes us some difficulties."
"I might have the best product in the market. But if it's not properly configured, then I'm losing many of these features. I'm not getting the most out of them. And this is actually one of the biggest challenges that we're facing."
"It slows down the system sometimes, and it has the occasional false positive where it deems something a virus when it isn't."
"From time to time, some users loose connection via the Network Agent."
"They can improve its resource consumption, such as memory, and maybe provide better or smaller updates. It always takes a lot of resources, but it has been getting better. I have been using McAfee products for the last 20 years or so, and I know it is getting better."
"The platform needs improvement in terms of handling heavy databases."
"Recently, Trellix has introduced a CDR, which involves more manual response than automatic. I believe they should enhance the system by adding features like automated response and the ability to create custom playbooks. This is crucial for an EDR solution, and currently, Trellix lacks this feature while other products offer it."
"Sometimes, while installing the ePO, we were getting so many errors and I don't know why it happened."
"The solution's technical support should be improved since we faced a lot of issues with the support. There were some delays in responses from the technical support."
"The management console is a little bit difficult to understand for admins. You need a lot of time in order to become familiar with that. It is a little bit complicated and not too easy to understand. Its price can also be improved. Its price is higher than its competitors. McAfee also needs to have better cloud integration and more data centers in the EU. The cloud center should be in Europe or in Germany. In Germany, it is really important to have access to your data within the same country. Customer data needs to be placed and processed in the same country."
"We don't like the solution since it requires much memory consumption and consumes much CPU resources."
"The endpoint has room for improvement because it's restrictive, it's very sensitive. Sometimes it can delete something that you need and so sometimes you have to disable the antivirus."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is based per agent. You can get discounts if you have more agents."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"For licensing, we pay a yearly subscription."
"I think the price of this solution is good."
"The solution requires a license and there are different license packages depending on the number of users you need."
"It is quite standard, because we use the volume licensing."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business' pricing is reasonable, and licensing costs are annual."
"We have an annual license and there is a fee per device used. The price is fair compared to the latest EDR solution."
"The pricing is more or less the same as the other tools in the market."
"There is a one-year and a three-year license available for this solution, we are currently on a three-year license."
"I would rate the cost as four to five, considering it's normal compared to other products. I find it nominal and worth the money."
"Since the maintenance is done by our own team, the price of the subscription should really be cheaper."
"For each computer that is connected to the server McAfee charges us for each computer based on our license agreement."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be made free."
"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive. We are on a monthly license."
"The pricing is great and licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
