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. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

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.

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.

Fast customer support
Pros and Cons
  • "The technical support is good. They are fast to respond and they have weekend support."
  • "I would like to see more emphasis on cybersecurity in the next release."

What needs improvement?

The software is dependent on the operating system of the computer. In some cases, the virus does not get cleaned completely. Regular updates on the status of the virus that may not have been cleaned entirely would help.

I would like to see more emphasis on cybersecurity in the next release.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using McAfee MOVE Antivirus for more than 10 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

How are customer service and technical support?

The technical support is good. They are fast to respond and they have weekend support.

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

We previously used an antivirus software called Symantec, but we switched because it took a while to get customer support feedback.

How was the initial setup?

The software was easy to install and took about 5 to 10 minutes to setup, but the configuration needed to be setup to prevent crashing our system.

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

The solution is not expensive.

What other advice do I have?

We haven't had any problems with this antivirus software.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

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.
