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

"Technical support is okay."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution is good at protecting my laptop from online threats such as malware."
"McAfee provides a console which is very flexible, usable and user-friendly."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It's minimal and not too heavy on the system."
"The tool offers protection from viruses for devices and endpoints."
"Protects the system from crashing."
"It is easy to implement it."
"The most valuable feature of VMware NSX is the DFW (distributed firewall)"
"The firewall is its most valuable feature."
"Provides flexibility to deploy and have network virtualization on different types of firewalls."
"Over the last two years, they've enhanced a lot, especially in regard to integration with OpenStack."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create, develop, and deploy servers in minutes to hours, rather than days."
"It's very important for them to have small footprints and have as much services in their servers, as possible."
"NSX can reduce costs and has good service. It is easy for you and your users to use."
 

Cons

"It requires deployment of multiple agents for multiple jobs which is unnecessary."
"The cost could be lowered a bit."
"McAfee drive encryption does not work very smoothly."
"The most valuable features of this product are the updated database, the low consumption of resources, and that you can leave it working in the background and it doesn't need any attention."
"It would be very helpful if a significant reduction in overhead could be brought about."
"McAfee MOVE AntiVirus needs to be made more secure, as it is one of the areas where the product lacks."
"McAfee MOVE AntiVirus’s initial setup was complex."
"The solution could improve security."
"The technical support could use some improvement."
"An area for improvement in VMware NSX is that it uses up more resources and is heavy on the network. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is more automation."
"The price could be better. The non-enterprise version of the product should also be improved. I would like VMware to expand beyond the network and provide some VLAN technologies and more. I think we have one, but it's more on the distribution side because it's more on the upper side of the network. I'm looking forward to that."
"The integration with other brands is not the best."
"I want to see the solution expand to more than just the network, for example, perhaps it could provide some VLAN technologies."
"In the future, the solution should be compliant with internet NIC."
"The solution can improve by making it more straightforward, easier to install and maintain in the environment."
"Occasionally the licensing is not very clear. They should make it easier to understand."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have purchased an annual license to use this solution. The price of the solution could be lower."
"The solution could reduce the price of the solution. We are on an annual license."
"We are on an annual license for the use of McAfee MOVE AntiVirus. The annual maintenance is built into the license."
"The license fees are reasonable. It is a yearly licensing fee."
"The solution was expensive earlier, but now the rates are cheaper."
"The pricing is cheap."
"There is a license required to use this solution and my organization has purchased the license."
"There is a yearly subscription for McAfee."
"We haven't had to hire a dedicated network engineer because NSX handles 90 percent of it. The reduced overhead in terms of managing networks has been the biggest plus."
"You can scale NSX if you have the resources, but it's usually expensive and complex to scale up."
"We have saved man-hours and decreased our security exposure."
"The pricing is higher than other options from Palo Alto, Fortinet, and Cisco because it is sold in a bundle."
"The pricing model for VMware NSX is good."
"Pricing and licensing could be improved as we are a government entity. Lower pricing could always help."
"If five is a good price and one is a high price, I would rate the price a one out of five."
"I'm unable to give information on the pricing or licensing cost of VMware NSX because I've never been someone who looks into the economic part of any security or virtualization solutions. That's handled by an entirely different team, and I don't even have the slightest idea about the costs associated with the solution, though I've heard pricing for VMware NSX is on the higher side."
