An antivirus solution for prevention against malware

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution to prevent getting the infected links.

What is most valuable?

The interface is good. McAfee MOVE AntiVirus has protected my devices from malware in the past year, even when accessing vulnerable software.

What needs improvement?

The pricing and renewal process for McAfee MOVE AntiVirus could be more smoother. When I use multiple accounts, often from my Postgres PC, the licensing is capped to one specific account, preventing me from utilizing it with other accounts under the same installation. This necessitates constant switching between accounts, which can be unreliable even when I've paid for the subscription. 

Additionally, the lack of multi-year subscription options makes it inconvenient, as renewing annually might be forgettable. Overall, automation and simplifying renewals and technical support could be done.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for around a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

One person is using this solution.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is not good. I tried logging in from a different account with my laptop and re-changed the ID. It still shows me that the subscription was not renewed even after I continued. I emailed them a couple of times, but they never followed up. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is easy.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The product is not expensive, but they should make it easier for long-term renewal pricing. It comes with a yearly subscription.

I rate the product’s pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive.

What other advice do I have?

The solution doesn't require any maintenance.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

A stable product needs to be made more secure
Pros and Cons
  • "There is no problem with the stability of the product...It is a scalable solution."
  • "McAfee MOVE AntiVirus needs to be made more secure, as it is one of the areas where the product lacks."

What is our primary use case?

I use the tool sometimes because it is convenient to check viruses and malware attacks and keep a check on emails.

What is most valuable?

I like the product's anti-malware features. I think the product is easy to use and is stable. In Japan, many people use Trend Micro, but I use McAfee.

What needs improvement?

As an antivirus software that is sold in many countries abroad, the product needs to focus more on localization. McAfee MOVE AntiVirus needs to be made more secure, as it is one of the areas where the product lacks.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for two or three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

There is no problem with the stability of the product.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution.

How are customer service and support?

I don't use the product's technical support because I work as a system engineer, and for me, it is not difficult to install or maintain. For some people, installing and maintaining the product may be difficult.

How was the initial setup?

The product's initial setup phase is easy, but if McAfee is installed on other devices, such as smartphones, the installation can get a little bit difficult.

The solution can be deployed in an hour or two, but I can't remember the exact time.

What about the implementation team?

I managed the installation of the product.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

There is a need to make payments towards the licensing costs of the product, but it is not too much, in my opinion.

What other advice do I have?

McAfee's support and prices differ from country to country. In Japan, if a user buys one McAfee software to use for a long time, it can be installed for multiple devices.

If someone wants to install a product for multiple clients, I suggest McAfee. In Japan, Trend Micro is preferred as it is convenient to use, and support is not so difficult to get since Trend Micro's head office is in Japan. For normal people, I suggest Trend Micro. If one person wants to install the product on many PCs, then I suggest McAfee.

I rate the overall tool a seven out of ten.

The performance is good and it's very stable
Pros and Cons
  • "One of the most valuable features is the performance. It's very stable."
  • "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.

The installation process could be improved. It's a bit difficult, but once you get it right, it's fine.

There is a yearly subscription cost for this solution.

  • "It would be ideal if the product could offer more integration."

I've used the solution since I joined my current company. I've used it for about four years or so at this point. It's been a while.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did not previously use a different solution. 

How was the initial setup?

The solution is installed on our machines. I was not a part of the process of putting it there, however, my understanding is that it is easy to implement.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I don't have any visibility on the licensing process or how much the solution costs. It's not part of my responsibilities.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we are using, however, everyone has it installed on their laptops. My understanding is that it is up-to-date.

Reliable with good notifications and decent protection
Pros and Cons
  • "It provides helpful popups."
  • "The cost could be improved."

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.
