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?

Integration with other modules allows for expansion, but the Advanced Threat Protection needs improvement
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features are the integration with different modules like the DLP."
  • "The advanced threat protection is not as good as our competitors."

What is our primary use case?

The primary use case of this solution is to distribute endpoints to our clients for their networks.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features are the integration with different modules like the DLP.

It's a complete endpoint and you can extend the endpoint using additional modules. This is at times useful for customers with a lot of different data that they don't want to lose, so they integrate it with a DLP module to check the USB drivers and USB mass storage as an example.

What needs improvement?

The advanced threat protection is not as good as the competitors.

They are not as fast as the other competitors in detecting new threats. They can be anywhere from half a day to a day behind the other solutions before detecting the threat.

The admin interface is very old. 

In the next release, they could refresh the GUI. It would be appreciated.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This solution is stable.

It works with no problem at all.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

At present, we have not scaled this solution as our clients are not large enough with only two hundred and fifty clients.

How are customer service and technical support?

The technical support is not the best on the market, but it's not bad.

It can be difficult to speak to them. The last time that we had an issue they responded in a couple of hours and we received the file the next business day. It could have been faster.

At the present time, they are working well.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We did not evaluate other solutions.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

Great features including real-time memory scan and endpoint protection
Pros and Cons
  • "Everything can be combined from the endpoint and server infrastructure security perspective."
  • "It requires deployment of multiple agents for multiple jobs which is unnecessary."

What is our primary use case?

We are partners with McAfee and I'm a senior solution architect. 

What is most valuable?

McAfee not only provides the antivirus, but they provide an EDR kind of solution which makes it possible for there to be zero attacks. That scenario certainly helps customers - everything can be combined in a single pane of glass from the endpoint and the server infrastructure security perspective. I like that the solution consumes less of what it stores on endpoints. When it's performing a full-system scan, it consumes less CPU and memory resources, so a user can continue working and not be aware the scanning is occurring. It also supports the real-time memory scan, protecting the user from the real-time product and from any kind of EXE file or monitoring activity. I think the endpoint protection is a very nice feature of this product. McAfee has a more simplified approach to providing security for endpoints.

What needs improvement?

This solution requires you to deploy multiple agents for multiple jobs which is unfortunate. There is the antivirus, there is a DLP client, there is a media client. I'd like to see all of these combined into a single agent that does everything without consuming significant resources. That would be a great innovation from the endpoint security point of view. Rather than having different tools, the DLP DR should be integrated and simplified into one single security solution. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this solution for a couple of months. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This is a stable solution. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. In general, it requires admin resources and user resources. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup requires a certain skill set because anyone wanting to deploy such a tool needs to be aware of the best practices in terms of how the security should be designed, areas such as data configuration and product configuration. A simple antivirus installation should only take a couple of minutes but when it comes to the enterprise grade or installation on a server, it takes time because a lot of planning is required. The planning takes time, not the installation.

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

There is a one-year or three-year licensing option. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate this solution an eight out of 10.

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.
