    An effective security product that is lightweight and works well for virtual environments
    Pros and Cons
    • "The most valuable feature is the security, which is very effective compared to other products."
    • "The dashboard should be improved, as a more user-friendly version is required."

    What is our primary use case?

    We primarily use this solution to prevent virus attacks from outside of the organization.

    What is most valuable?

    The most valuable feature is the security, which is very effective compared to other products.

    The resource utilization is very low, not consuming the same level of resources as Symantec.

    What needs improvement?

    The dashboard should be improved, as a more user-friendly version is required.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    We have been using McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for five years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    This is a stable solution and it is being used 24/7.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    We did not face any issues when we built up our infrastructure and increased our workload, so it is scalable. We have approximately 500 servers that it is deployed on.

    How are customer service and technical support?

    When you first contact technical support, they simply show you articles. It is only after it is escalated that a person joins the call.

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

    Prior to McAfee, I had used a similar solution from Symantec. I found that it was much more resource-intensive, although it was more user-friendly.

    How was the initial setup?

    The complexity of the setup depends on the environment. We have multiple installations and in some cases, it is simple, whereas in others it is complicated. It took us between two and three months to deploy.

    What about the implementation team?

    We had a third-party to assist with the deployment.

    We have two or three people in our company who handle maintenance.

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

    The licensing fees are billed on an annual basis.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    We trust McAfee and as such, we did not evaluate other options.

    What other advice do I have?

    My advice to anybody who is researching this solution is that it is very good for a virtual environment. I have not found any bugs, it is scalable, and overall a very good product. My only complaint is about the user interface.

    I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    I have been using the solution for one year.

    Reliable and simple to set up with a good UI
    Pros and Cons
    • "This was straightforward to set up."
    • "We'd like the price point to be more attractive to potential users."

    What is our primary use case?

    We primarily use the solution for security purposes. 

    What is most valuable?

    The solution has been stable. 

    It has a good UI. I don't see any great gaps in that for my use cases.

    This was straightforward to set up. 

    What needs improvement?

    We'd like the price point to be more attractive to potential users. If I was offered a stripped-down version of it at a more reasonable price, I would be happier. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    We've used the solution for the last year. We used it for a couple of months and are now moving away from it. 

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    It is a very stable, very reliable solution. There are no bugs or glitches to discuss. 

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    I've only tried it as a POC. We did not try to scale the product. I'm not sure how it would fare in terms of scaling. 

    I'm not sure how many people are using the solution in our organization. 

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

    As an organization, we are actually looking at Sophos now.

    How was the initial setup?

    The solution is pretty straightforward. It's easy to implement. We did not find it to be overly complex. I'd rate it a four and a half out of five in terms of ease of implementation. It offers good documentation, which simplifies things. 

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

    The price point could be a bit better. 

    What other advice do I have?

    We've only really used this solution in a POC capacity, and therefore I don't have much advice to instill to other potential users. 

    I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

    Allows me to install an unlimited number of devices for antivirus and firewall capabilities
    Pros and Cons
    • "The installation is quite straightforward."
    • "Overall, the solution could be better priced."
    • "I pay for the licensing on an annual basis."

    What is our primary use case?

    The solution provides security on my laptops vis-a-vis their use in my home by my teenage children.

    The solution has antivirus capabilities for providing protection and eliminating potential threats. It also provides protection through a firewall. I use the True Key feature to store usernames and passwords and highly secure passwords can be generated automatically. 

    What is most valuable?

    I was looking for an agreement with which I am familiar, due to the increasing number of devices, mobile phones and tablets involved. 

    What needs improvement?

    Overall, the solution could be better priced. When it comes to the number of licenses which I need in relation to the number of devices that I have in my home, things could be cheaper. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I believe I have been using McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for two or three years, as I have a subscription by which all the laptops of my family are under the same contract. We have four or five laptops at home. 

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

    Around three years ago I used Avast. 

    While my current plan allows me to install an unlimited number of devices, I found the Avast licensing plan to be insufficient. 

    How was the initial setup?

    The installation is quite straightforward.

    Taking into account the need to restart the computer, the initial installation takes five minutes. 

    We have the solution installed on four devices. 

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

    The overall pricing could be improved. 

    I pay for the licensing on an annual basis. 

    What other advice do I have?

    I make use of the solution for personal use.

    I would recommend this solution to others. 

    I rate McAfee MOVE AntiVirus as an eight out of ten.

    Secure, stable, scalable, and easy to install
    Pros and Cons
    • "I like that it keeps my systems secure."
    • "It uses a lot of your bandwidth and your memory."

    What is our primary use case?

    It is useful in detecting any issues on the internet, and security issues.

    What is most valuable?

    I like that it keeps my systems secure.

    It's a good product.

    What needs improvement?

    It uses a lot of your bandwidth and your memory.

    It makes your system slow.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using this solution for approximately nine years.

    We are using the latest version.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    It's a stable solution.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    It's a scalable solution. In my previous organization, they used it with 50,000 to 100,000 users.

    How are customer service and technical support?

    I have never required the support. I don't think that there is support for personal use. If you go the endpoint protection in the enterprise, they definitely require support. This is something that the IT team does.

    I am sure that McAfee has a good support team.

    How was the initial setup?

    The installation was straightforward.

    It should be deployed in half an hour, depending on how long it takes to download in your network.

    What about the implementation team?

    I completed the installation myself.

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

    There is no monthly fee. You just purchase the tool.

    What other advice do I have?

    I would recommend this product to other users. 

    I plan to continue using this solution for my personal use.

    I would rate McAfee a nine out of ten.

    Good Protection and alerting, easy to install, secure, and easy to perform scans
    Pros and Cons
    • "The most valuable feature is the protection we have had over the years."
    • "I would like to see monthly reports of the usage."

    What is our primary use case?

    It's an antivirus solution to protect the system.

    We access many websites on a daily basis and are not really sure whether it's a good or a bad site. 

    What is most valuable?

    It's really easy to scan the laptop for any viruses that may have been download, and helps this to have a secured mode.

    The most valuable feature is the protection we have had over the years.

    Alert-wise, it is very good.

    What needs improvement?

    I would like to see monthly reports of the usage.

    While scanning, if you could get history as well provide an easy report that can identify monthly what you have browsed.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using it since 2010 on my personal laptops.

    We use the annual package for household purposes.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    It's a very stable system.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    It's a scalable product.

    We plan to continue to use this solution, we just recently renewed it.

    How are customer service and technical support?

    We have not contacted technical support. The website has many FAQs available if required.

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

    We are also using sharp for the VPN.

    Previously, we were using Norton AntiVirus.

    How was the initial setup?

    My husband installed it, but it was very easy.

    It takes less than 10 to 20 minutes. 

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

    Pricing is reasonable. It's affordable.

    We spend money on so many other things, why not spend money on security?

    You can renew licenses annually or bi-annually. When you have an offer, you pay less for two years.

    We opted for the two years.

    What other advice do I have?

    For anyone who is interested in using this solution, I would recommend it.

    I would rate McAfee Move AntiVirus a nine out of ten.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    An advanced security solution that can be fully automated
    Pros and Cons
    • "I like that it's all automated"
    • "The process of enabling drive encryption can be improved."

    What is our primary use case?

    We use it to protect our PCs and our servers. We have DLP endpoints, and we have drive encryption and endpoint security. We also use it for endpoint security on our laptops, and they do have these running on the servers.

    What is most valuable?

    I like that it's all automated. It's automatically configured and updated from a central server. The patches get updated automatically, and it provides good security against malware and ransomware. It also encrypts our drives, and there's a lot of security.

    Another good feature is that you can always get it to reset by calling a remote admin for help. For example, if you've forgotten your password, you can unlock it from your system boot up, and you can get assistance from the admin.

    What needs improvement?

    The process of enabling drive encryption can be improved. It takes a long time to enable drive encryption. For some reason, we have to keep monitoring it. It takes a few hours to update the policies, which finally encrypts the drive. It's a very slow process, and we have to sit there and watch what goes on.

    Sometimes I also see that there isn't any reporting back to the central team that someone's system isn't up to date. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    We''ve been using McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for close to ten years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    McAfee MOVE AntiVirus is a stable product.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    McAfee MOVE AntiVirus is a scalable product. We have it deployed across 100,000 people, and it's a huge deployment.

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

    I think before this, they may have used something else like Trend Micro. Then they moved to McAfee, and from McAfee, they may shift to some other good product. I have used a computer spreadsheets antivirus, e-antivirus before.

    How was the initial setup?

    It's pushed remotely, and it's like a remotely deployed solution. It barely takes two to five minutes to set up and deploy. There's a big team that manages the deployment and maintenance as part of the overall security and corporate security.

    What other advice do I have?

    I would recommend this product to potential users if it's a corporate office. It's a great tool for a corporate environment.

    On a scale from one to ten, I would give McAfee MOVE AntiVirus an eight.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
