Expandable with good antivirus aspects but lacks stability
Pros and Cons
- "It can scale quite well."
- "The antivirus aspect was great that's what we were most focused on."
- "The solution uses up a lot of memory, which is a major issue."
- "We did not have a good experience with McAfee. I would not recommend them to others."

We have used it as an antivirus, not web protection. We deployed it on all the endpoints and all the Windows servers.
What is most valuable?
The antivirus aspect was great that's what we were most focused on.
It can scale quite well.
What needs improvement?
The solution needs better stability. There are a lot of issues.
The solution uses up a lot of memory, which is a major issue.

We've been using the solution for three or four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is not stable. It's something that needs to be worked on.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is very scalable. It's not an issue at all if you want to expand.
That said, it is deployed at either the endpoint of the server, not everywhere.
We don't have more than three people directly on the solution. Hardly one or two people use it at any given time. We do not have plans to increase usage at this time as in general we have not had a good experience with the product.
How are customer service and support?
I've never dealt with technical support. I would not be able to rate their services.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We are now switching over to CrowdStrike and leaving McAfee.
I'm not sure what we used previous to McAfee.
How was the initial setup?
I did not handle the setup myself.
In terms of deployment and management, we had a team of six people on it. They were managing the solution and the setup process.
What about the implementation team?
This product is completely handled by the compliance team, which is part of our team. They do the complete setup.
What other advice do I have?
We did not have a good experience with McAfee. I would not recommend them to others.

Senior Technology Specialist at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Reliable with good notifications and decent protection
Pros and Cons
- "It provides helpful popups."
- "When I'm getting some emails or something, they will be scanned, and the solution will be giving me an indication of whether any malware or anything is present."
- "The cost could be improved."
- "The solution is a bit pricey."
What is our primary use case?
When I'm getting some emails or something, they will be scanned, and the solution will be giving me an indication of whether any malware or anything is present. I can be warned before opening some attachments. It will do some scanning and provide some assurance that they have done that check so I feel protected. It's a good level of security.
How has it helped my organization?
I'm not using the solution for my personal purpose. I'm using it for my organization, where we are looking for some improvisation for the product.
What is most valuable?
The solution offers good protection. It provides helpful popups.
It has an easy initial setup.
The solution is stable.
The scalability is good.
What needs improvement?
The cost could be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for about four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable.
You need to make sure that you are updated with the latest database to search for the vulnerabilities so that you will have the best updates from McAfee regarding the latest threats on the internet. It will help ensure your security.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
When you are subscribed, you have the option to choose how many devices you want to use. You can choose the right options for your organization.
I'm not sure how many people are on the solution, however, my understanding is that it is quite a few. I use it across my day-to-day activities and it's used extensively.
How are customer service and support?
I haven't used any tech support. We tend to get the latest updates to protect ourselves. However, if we need to, we can search the internet to keep updated on the latest trends in terms of vulnerabilities. If we see something worrisome, we'll patch and fix.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I'm using AVG as well.
How was the initial setup?
The solution is not that complex. If it is someone with some experience, it'll be easy. The deployment itself won't take not more than half an hour.
What about the implementation team?
I did the implementation myself. I did not use a consultant or an integrator.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution is a bit pricey.
I have a yearly license. You can get some discounts. I went for a combo offer with my mobile and laptop having the connection. There's a subscription for that.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We want to try the different options which are available in the market. I'm doing some R&D to understand what the pros and cons are and looking for reviews from customers who are all currently using it to try to understand the challenges when we are using any other product available in the market.
What other advice do I have?
I have not done a subscription or renewal recently. I am currently on an older version.
I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. I'd rate it higher, however, it is a bit expensive.

Program Administrator at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Good for protection but causes lag in the system
Pros and Cons
- "It's valuable for protection and internet safety."
- "One problem is that when you switch on the system, Windows 10 takes almost two to three minutes to get initiated and then McAfee adds on to it because it starts scanning automatically."
- "I wouldn't recommend McAfee Move Antivirus for Windows 10."
What is our primary use case?
The primary use case is for protection of personal information and internet safety. This is an individual system, so I'm the only one who uses it.
What is most valuable?
It's valuable for protection and internet safety.
What needs improvement?
The system could perform better and faster. The latest Windows, like 10 and 11, have the internal defenders available in the setup itself. It was pre-installed and it was available with the package itself. I didn't have to pay anything separately for that, so that's why I'm just keeping it as it is. Another problem is I can't delete it or I can only disable it, so when the self protective system is already in place, I don't think an additional antivirus is needed.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using McAfee MOVE AntiVirus since 2020. It was pre-installed, so it was with the package of Windows 10.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
One problem is that when you switch on the system, Windows 10 takes almost two to three minutes to get initiated and then McAfee adds on to it because it starts scanning automatically. You need to manually pause it because it slows down the system drastically. As a combination with Windows 10, McAfee makes the system a lot slower.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
With our company laptops, everything is pre-installed, and I think they are using Quick Heal in office. It's better because I don't get any popups or scanning messages. It sends the details to the respective department and they take the call, so I don't need to intervene in anything. Every two weeks or twice in a month, all the upgrades get notified. As upgrades get notified, I keep doing the updates for the office. It automatically gets updated for Windows 10.
How was the initial setup?
I didn't have to do any installation. It came with a package, so everything was pre-installed in the system.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
For McAfee, I think it's already paid until 2023 because it's added on with the Windows 10 license pricing from Dell. I had to pay for it on the Dell website, which includes the licensing cost of Windows 10 and McAfee.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate this solution 5 out of 10 because of the lag that it produces in the system. As soon as you switch it on, it takes four to five minutes in addition to the lag Windows 10 causes due to the size of the operating system. With respect to protection it's fine, but with respect to the delay of speed, it's much slower.
I wouldn't recommend McAfee Move Antivirus for Windows 10. It has a self-defense mechanism available in the processor itself. In that case, why would you need a separate antivirus? It's not required. The Windows Defender is already available and it's more than capable for just browsing through applications and websites. It's more capable of defending the system from any malware or any virus from the net. So in that case, I feel that McAfee is not required.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

- "When we visited other sites that were using McAfee, we were quite impressed."
- "The installation process could be improved. It's a bit difficult, but once you get it right, it's fine."
What is our primary use case?
Our primary use case of this solution—we've got what they call McAfee ePO—is for a centralized system that we use to manage all the other endpoints from the central point. It's for endpoint protection, but there are some other options that you can use, such as Web Control, Firewall, etc. This solution is deployed on-premise.
What is most valuable?
One of the most valuable features is the performance. It's very stable.
What needs improvement?
The installation process could be improved. It's a bit difficult, but once you get it right, it's fine.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using McAfee for the past 10 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
This solution is very stable. We have a team of three admins for maintenance.

What about the implementation team?
We implemented through an in-house team, with outside support.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
There is a yearly subscription cost for this solution.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We also looked at ESET and Sophos, but settled on McAfee. When we visited other sites that were using McAfee, we were quite impressed.
What other advice do I have?
I rate McAfee a nine out of ten. I can definitely recommend this solution to others considering implementation.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.

We likely used Norton five or so years ago.
How was the initial setup?
The solution is very simple and straightforward. It's not difficult to set up at all.
What about the implementation team?
You do not need any outside assistance in order to set up the product. My seven-year-old could do it. It's that easy.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The renewal process is difficult. It could send me a notification upfront before it takes the cash out of the bank.
That said, the pricing is very reasonable.
The solution only does an annual subscription.
What other advice do I have?
We are customers and end-users.
We are using the latest version of the solution.
