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.

Reliable with good independent modules and a straightforward setup
I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. Having used Trend Micro as well, I would rate Trend Micro higher. However, I would still choose this product as a second option. When we recommend a product, we would recommend something based on the fit of the product and customer requirements. We worked with Defender, we worked with Trend Micro, and we worked with McAfee. All of them almost overlap in multiple use cases. That said, we do see the customer IT strategy and where they're going, and they are adopting Azure more. We know there are certain limitations in their landscape where there may be some old legacy systems, and in that case, then we would either switch back to McAfee or Trend Micro instead of Defender.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is broken down into different components from the portals. Web filtering, which is an added feature has been great for us."
"The solution offers very good endpoint security."
"Some of McAfee Endpoint Security's main features are it has benefits over normal conventional antivirus solutions because it works much faster."
"Would benefit with the addition of DLP features."
"The reporting capabilities are a valuable feature. In enables more visibility on our network."
"It's easy to use and it's very powerful. It offers nice endpoint protection."
"McAfee EndPoint Security has a lot of good features that work well if they are implemented properly."
"Trellix Security Endpoint can promptly isolate any host machines directly from the console. If alerts are received and isolation is necessary, it can be accomplished through the console. The console itself holds significant value, accessible through a browser and allowing remote actions via cloud login."
"The independent modules are very good."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The most valuable features of McAfee MVISION Endpoint are advanced threat protection, web filtering, and removable storage devices in the DLP."
"FireEye Endpoint Security's scalability is awesome. I think it is one of the best on that front."
"Provides good mobile device protection."
"Technical support is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity."
"The most valuable feature is user-based policy provision."
 

Cons

"The DAC (Dynamic Application Containment) component of this product needs improvement."
"Every time we open a ticket with McAfee, their response differs and they are not consistent."
"The initial setup is complex. It is a very complex product. You must have experience with it."
"The interface is complex."
"Technical support is an area that can be improved because sometimes, the response time is a bit slow and the explanation is short."
"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."
"McAfee GW Security and McAfee Child Safety need some improvement as they are relatively new."
"It would be helpful if the controlling of connections coming to the PC could be done from McAfee's side so that we can block those connections."
"They could also increase or improve the scalability because to my knowledge the biggest bandwidth can only support up to 10 gigs of input."
"I would like to see more local integration for the applications that we use."
"The initial setup can be a bit complicated for those unfamiliar with the product."
"If you have another endpoint product running on the same machine, you have to fine tune functions from FireEye to avoid performance and user experience issues."
"I would like to see simple processing and reporting online."
"Impacts performance of the servers quite negatively."
"We would like to solution to offer better security."
"The Linux support is very poor. I use base detection. Currently, they are providing malware protection and logon track features in Windows and Mac. These features aren't available in Linux. It will be helpful to extend these capabilities to Linux. We would also like assets grouping and device lock protection features, which are included in their roadmap."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive. We are on a monthly license."
"No comment."
"Annual license fee is good"
"The initial price is very good as they give good initial discounts, but it seems a little expensive once you renew the license."
"I am happy with the pricing."
"Its price is very high. It is higher than its competitors, and it should be less."
"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."
"The solution is not an expensive tool. Compared to other options, it's mostly average-priced. I've deployed it for customers ranging from 100 nodes to over 5,000 nodes. Its renewal prices are very low, and it offers both perpetual and subscription licenses. With a perpetual license, the product will keep working as long as it's not end-of-life, which benefits companies."
"The product pricing is high."
"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"We had a discount when purchasing the solution because of the size of our company and we are happy with the price."
"MVISION is intended as an enterprise product and it is priced like one. This solution is within the price range of competitors at the enterprise level."
"They should reduce the cost or make it free, open-source software."
"The current pricing is much better than before because they now offer product-related promotions along with some changes in product licensing. The new pricing model is better than before."
"There's a subscription on a yearly basis. It's not that expensive; it's quite affordable."
"Customers would need to purchase a license. If a customer purchases an MVISION Endpoint license, he may use that license to install ENS. It's a flexible license where you have the option to either use the McAfee security software or the Windows Defender managed by McAfee, which is MVISION Endpoint."

It depends on what you want to achieve. With McAfee ENS you have complete coverage through McAfee solutions, that is, it has an AV engine (threat Protection), you have Advance Threat Protection (ATP), light control over browsers, and a firewall.  With MVISION Endpoint you add being able to manage Microsoft Defender from the MVISION ePO or EPO on-premise console. But the AV engine is Defender, not McAfee. So you depend on the potential and configuration you make of Defender.

The flexible manageability of McAfee Endpoint Security is one of our favorite aspects of this solution. You can deploy various components as desired with McAfee Endpoint Security, whereas many other solutions only offer an all-or-nothing policy. McAfee offers a prevention layer that detects signature values and prevents threats to the network. With McAfee Endpoint Security you have complete coverage through McAfee solutions, advanced threat protection (ATP), and light control over browsers, as well as a firewall. We would like to see better integration with 3rd party products, though. We also feel that resolution time should be faster and that McAfee Endpoint Security could do more to keep administration alerted to detected end-point threats. One of the best things we like about McAfee MVISION is how user-friendly and easy it is to use for the average person. It is stable and scalable and the technical support is excellent. The cloud-based security and data protection McAfee MVISION offers is extremely valuable, especially if you have many employees who are working remotely. You can only use McAfee MVISION with Windows 10, WIndows 2016, or above, which makes this solution kind of limiting. We would like to see a policy editing solution added to McAfee MVISION, which would make it a bit more flexible. Additionally, we have some concerns that the intrusion detection and intervention are not keeping pace with other available solutions. Conclusion Both of these solutions are McAfee, which is a widely known and trusted value-added brand. We felt McAfee Endpoint Security offered the most complete secure coverage within the McAfee ecosystem. The flexibility and centralized administration controls are better able to keep all of our computer systems safe from viruses and other intrusions. We also feel there is a strong commitment to keeping McAfee Endpoint Security up-to-date, reliable and secure.
