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?
On-premises

CTO at BE.iT SA
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.

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.

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?

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 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?
On-premises
