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…

Overly complex, initial setup could be simplified, but the migration methods are good
We were using VMware NSX for high availability.  We recently used it to migrate a way to the public cloud The migration methods are the most valuable aspect of this solution. The rest is just overly complicated. We had some issues with the cloud version. It needs to be cheaper. We are stopping…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"McAfee provides a console which is very flexible, usable and user-friendly."
"The product offers good compatibility with other solutions and has good integration potential."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its ability to detect and delete known malware and the DLP in particular."
"I have found McAfee MOVE AntiVirus more secure than other antivirus solutions."
"This was straightforward to set up."
"The solution offers good stability."
"It's my understanding that the initial setup isn't too difficult."
"I use McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for internet security, file security, and ensuring I don't have viruses on my system."
"It provides a single pane of glass. You can do the switching, routing, load balancing, IPS, IDS, etc. Everything is under one umbrella. So, there is no vendor dependency over there."
"They have a lot of support and specialists who can meet with the customer."
"NSX extends Layer-2 scalability on Layer 3, covering the vRO and extending the capability on Layer 3 by decapsulating using a new mechanism. NSX-V was designed to use with VMware products and Success 360, providing more flexibility toward different levels of cloud, containers, and components. NSX-T gives you the ability to stretch your network across different view locations. If you have multiple sites, you can connect them using NSX-T."
"One of the big improvements between the NSX-V and NSX-T is that in NSX-T you are no longer dependent on V-Center anymore."
"Technically, VMware NSX is more advanced technology-wise when compared to others. We have been studying it and so far, so good. We know that the NSX product is superior when it comes to software virtualized networks. </p> <p>If you are looking to work with new and future technologies, then NSX is one of the best options. It costs less for power consumption since it will be a virtual network and not a pure physical network that consumes more energy."
"NSX gives us the ability to put our network, NSX, onto any network there is, which allows us not to have to go to the network team to create networks our VLANs for networks."
"The organization of it is logical, useful, and intuitive."
"From a security standpoint, the customer was able to better secure critical workloads while routing L2/L3 worked normally, giving them more confidence that they would be ready for any potential security incident mitigation or outage (DR)."
 

Cons

"I have found the solution to be scalable. However, it could improve."
"The solution’s stability and licensing price could be improved."
"The performance is not very good."
"The security of the solution could improve."
"The installation process could be improved. It's a bit difficult, but once you get it right, it's fine."
"I would like to see MOVE include zero-trust functionality."
"I'd prefer more frequent updates."
"The product must use AI to detect and block unwanted viruses automatically."
"We would like tenant segmentation available in future releases."
"The ticket support response time from VMware could be improved. Often, callbacks are delayed, which can be problematic if the servers are in production."
"The setup is complex and should be made easier."
"I would rate NSX's stability eight out of ten - there's room for improvement."
"This solution is really unusable from my perspective at this point. Overall, I would rate the solution a one of ten."
"I would like them to make integration with other vendors easier."
"It's not feature-rich."
"We have done three installations and we have not had any critical issues. The time it took for the installation was approximately two days. However, they should provide better documentation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution could reduce the price of the solution. We are on an annual license."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and the price is very good. However, the price could be less expensive."
"We have purchased an annual license to use this solution. The price of the solution could be lower."
"We are on an annual license for the use of McAfee MOVE AntiVirus. The annual maintenance is built into the license."
"We have purchased a three-year license to use the solution and the price is reasonable."
"The licensing depends on the number of devices secured by this product."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"The solution is not expensive."
"VMware NSX isn't cheap."
"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."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The price of VMware NSX is reasonable."
"The price of VMware NSX is optimal. Additionally, the price of the solution can be negotiated with the vendor. Many areas of the solution can impact the cost, such as features, time for onboarding, and support needed."
"VMware has always been geared towards enterprise and their pricing options are a bit high. Their price is higher than other options in the market."
"VMware has a subscription and perpetual license. In the New Year, they're changing many things about the licensing model. Previously, NSX was licensed according to the number of sockets inside the appliance, so we bought VMware licenses based on that. However, that may have changed this year. We are still contacting the vendors to understand the new licensing strategy."
"The product pricing ranges from medium to expensive. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
