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 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?

My primary use case is for endpoint security, to protect my personal information. This solution is pre-installed on the laptop given to me by my company.

I didn't evaluate any other options before using this solution. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate this solution a nine out of ten. I would recommend this solution to others because I've never had any issues with virus attacks or anything while using McAfee. As our company grows, we will have more employees using McAfee and our license will increase.

Secure, scalable, and stable
Pros and Cons
  • "It's my understanding that the initial setup isn't too difficult."
  • "The solution could be more secure."

What is our primary use case?

I primarily use the solution in order to protect my personal information.

Every once in a while, I get a message saying that the solution has completed a scan and no threats have been found. I'm not sure if it's my Microsoft antivirus or if it is McAfee, however, sometimes when I try to access a website, there's a message that says it's not safe to view the website and attackers might be trying to view the data. I'm not sure which one is doing it. McAfee or Microsoft, however, I do get these messages sometimes.

What is most valuable?

The solution is scalable.

The stability is good.

It's my understanding that the initial setup isn't too difficult.

Overall, the security is pretty good and I've been kept safe from viruses and dangerous websites.

What needs improvement?

The solution could be more secure.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution since I got my laptop, which was about four years ago now. It's been a while.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product has been very stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. Its performance is reliable so far.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

While it's my understanding that the solution can scale, I only use it for myself at this time. I don't have plans to expand it beyond personal use.

How are customer service and technical support?

I've never had a need to reach out to technical support. There haven't been any issues with the product. Therefore, I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are.

How was the initial setup?

I can't speak to the process surrounding the initial implementation and deployment. It was already there. It just came with the laptop. I don't remember the setup process, however, it must have been fairly easy to do it if I have it on the laptop.

What about the implementation team?

I can't speak to if there was a vendor team used to deploy the product as it was just on my laptop when I received it.

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

You do have to pay for a license. You need to renew it yearly.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I didn't evaluate any other antivirus options. This is the only product I really know.

What other advice do I have?

I am still using the solution. I get messages saying I have to reactivate it, however, I have not done that.

I'm not sure which version of the solution I'm using. Currently, I just use it myself, for personal protection. I'm an end-user and customer.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten at this time. It's been very good in terms of its capabilities so far. 

I would recommend it to other users and companies.

Stable, easy to work with, and offers good performance
Pros and Cons
  • "Overall, the policies are good. They are easy to implement."
  • "I found that the interface is a little bit confusing. It's over-stuffed. If a new IT person comes in, it is difficult to understand how the McAfee console works."

What is most valuable?

The solution is stable. In comparison, when I used Trend Micro, I recall having multiple issues. 

Trend Micro was tedious to install and the implementation of its policy organization-wide was a challenge. Often file codes wouldn't work or the performance was off. With McAfee, I'm not seeing these same issues, although, to be fair, I've only worked with it for a month. The performance seems to be better, and it's less challenging to work with.

Overall, the policies are good. They are easy to implement.

What needs improvement?

I found that the interface is a little bit confusing. It's over-stuffed. If a new IT person comes in, it is difficult to understand how the McAfee console works. It needs to be more user-friendly and not as complicated.

It would be nice if the solution could add in some ransomware features. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I haven't been using the solution for too long. It's something we use at my new company. However, the license is about to expire, and we may be looking into other options. I've only really used it for a month.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have about 30 or so people that are using the solution.

We do not plan on increasing usage and may discontinue usage in general. We are currently considering alternatives.

How are customer service and technical support?

I've never had a chance to reach out to technical support. I've only been using the solution for a month and the license s coming to an end. Therefore, there's never been a reason for me to reach out. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are in general.

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

In my previous organization, I used Trend Micro.

How was the initial setup?

I wasn't involved in the installation of the solution. The product was already installed when I began at the company. Therefore, I wasn't a part of the process.

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

I cannot speak to the actual cost of the solution. It's not an aspect of the product I deal with.

It's a little bit tough to manage the license. I have to purchase separate licenses for 30 users that cover ransomware protection.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

In the present company, we are using McAfee, however, it's about to end license duration. We are looking for a good alternative to it.

What other advice do I have?

We are customers and end-users.

I cannot recall the exact version number of our current solution.

We are doing R&D right now. I'm new to this organization and I have to manage it all. I find that right now, with McAfee, we're trying to figure out what to do with it. It's up for renewal. We're working to decide if it should stay or if we should switch to something new. 

The console is not user-friendly and that's a bit of a turn-off. It's making us reconsider the product.

That said, I'd recommend the solution to other organizations. It's good. It's just that, if I appointed a new trainee and I asked him to set the policy for the security on a user's laptop he would just get annoyed. If it was more user-friendly I wouldn't have to worry about the onboarding process so much. New team members would just be able to handle the tasks and not be confused by the technology itself.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.
