Featured Reviews

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.
Syed Azimuddin - PeerSpot reviewer
Realtime intelligent end-to-end detection and protection from malware in a highly versatile product
From a technical perspective, I think ServerProtect is one of the best security products on the market. It is a mature product that already has most features that any product of this type has. What can be improved is that the cost is very high. So I feel that the cost should be reduced, even if it is justified. One thing that I would like to see as an additional feature is just a custom sandbox within the solution itself. So instead of having to go and use an additional sandbox for testing, you could have a custom sandbox integrated directly into the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have found many of the features to be useful."
"It provides a lot of information and great visibility, with really great options for managing the environment."
"The solution is reliable."
"There is a new feature where you can set thresholds for all the CPU consumption allowing for no consumption on the servers when the scans happen. It is a separate plugin or addon, and if we have it on all the virtual machines it automatically checks the resources, and based on that, it will schedule the scans. That is something that I have not seen in other antivirus solutions, such as Symantec."
"I like trap prevention DNS and threat prevention."
"We like the management of the ePO, and we like the management console."
"The solution is a reliable and mature product. Its reporting function is robust, and the user interface is easy to use. End users can create customized reports with detailed reporting for any computer and export them in PDF or other formats. This reporting capability is very robust."
"Some of McAfee Endpoint Security's main features are it has benefits over normal conventional antivirus solutions because it works much faster."
"ServerProtect's best feature is virtual patching, which takes care of patching even if your servers aren't updated with the latest threat definitions."
"Allows us to protect OneDrive and SharePoint, and emails too."
"It helps us quickly address potential issues and provides us with valuable insights."
"The most valuable features are the anti-malware and antivirus capabilities."
"I use this solution for data blocking, software protection, and frame protection."
"It can be managed from the cloud."
"Performance is very good."
"Scalable security solution with virtualization and virtual patching functions, able to provide full security that's specific to the service, e.g. it handles virtual machines better."
 

Cons

"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."
"Technical support from the vendor is very bad."
"Patch management is unavailable"
"They can make it free, but that's not going to happen."
"I think it would be nice if Dynamic Application Control would come together with McAfee Endpoint Security."
"We have a lot of problems with the user experience and it's difficult to implement. MacAfee's better than the ancient anti-virus solutions but it's a little slow to resolve. Many files with malware were destroyed through the network, and MacAfee doesn't detect anything."
"I've encountered minor challenges related to encryption."
"There are more secure featured solutions from McAfee on the market but for smaller companies like ours, they are too expensive."
"Notifications are not very good with Trend Micro."
"No built-in vulnerability scanner for management solutions."
"Could include additional features such as an intrusion prevention system."
"The cost is very high and it should be lower to be more competitive."
"The endpoint protection could always be stronger."
"The solution should provide features to block devices, specific IPs or URLs"
"I would like to see SMS notifications sent as alerts, in case we do not have access to our email."
"Trend Micro is a little bit complicated when it comes to setting up special policies."

"Its price is reasonable, but it could be made free."
"The product is expensive."
"The license costs are very reasonable, around 1,000 to 1,200 rupees per year."
"For each computer that is connected to the server McAfee charges us for each computer based on our license agreement."
"I think Trellix is more on the higher side of the market, just on a general scale, but I also think it depends on what particular package you choose."
"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive. We are on a monthly license."
"Pricewise, this product is okay."
"Pricing is based on the components you choose from the suite to run in your installation. Costs vary by the number of features and the number of servers."
