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.

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.

Excellent for endpoint security, providing great protection
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution works well for endpoint security."
  • "Lacks cloud security integrated with the antivirus."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case is to protect all the computers in the company; the websites, files and emails our employees use. I'm responsible for IT and we are customers of McAfee. 

What is most valuable?

In general, the solution provides good protection, it works well for endpoint security. 

What needs improvement?

We're currently looking to switch to a solution that offers cloud security because we want that integrated with the antivirus. We're looking for something that's more sophisticated and integrated.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this solution for over six years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We haven't had any issues with stability. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have 10 employees in the company and no problems with scaling. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is easy, you just download the software program and install. It can be done very quickly. 

What other advice do I have?

This is a great tool but now that people are working from home we're looking for something better because what we have now just protects the endpoint and we'd like to have better email and cloud security. 

The solution no longer meets our needs but it's a very good product and I rate it a nine out of 10.
