The solution is stable so far. I haven't had any issues just yet. 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?

I have found the solution to be scalable. 

About 500 people are using the solution in our organization. It's deployed onto all of our virtual desktops.

We are planning to expand usage as we are expanding our virtual desktop infrastructure.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support from McAfee is good, and also the account manager that we have is very supportive and responsive. We are happy with the level of support.

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

For a virtual environment, we did not previously use a different solution.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is okay. It's not that straightforward, however, it is doable. I would rate the entire process at a six out of ten.

We have one admin that handles any maintenance tasks that need to be addressed. 

What about the implementation team?

We had assistance with the setup via a partner.

I'm not dealing with the commercial aspect of the product, therefore, I do not have any knowledge of the costs involved or the licensing structure.

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.

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.

A stable solution with easy installation and good technical support
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is stable, which is why I have been using it for at least ten years, if not much longer."
  • "It would be very helpful if a significant reduction in overhead could be brought about."

What is our primary use case?

We use the latest version.

The solution is useful for protection of one's personal and business information. 

What needs improvement?

As a general rule, I find many of the antivirus solutions to be intrusive when running. They consume a sizable amount of memory resources while they are loading. When it comes to working on one's laptop or desktop, many of these processes, initially, run when a machine boots up - something which prevents a person from accessing his mail or quickly accessing his work. It would be very helpful if a significant reduction in overhead could be brought about. Other than this, I would rate them as fairly good from a protection standpoint. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for at least the last ten years, although I believe I have been using it for much longer. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable, which is why I have been using it for at least ten years, if not much longer. 

How are customer service and support?

The technical support comes without charge. As a general rule, when it comes to companies, IT divisions provide support for the teams. They handle this on their own and tend to get patches from the support teams. When it comes to personal use, I feel they have fairly good updates. There are automated updates. 

How was the initial setup?

The installation is fairly good and straightforward. 

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

Our subscription is yearly. 

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend the solution to others. 

I rate McAfee MOVE Antivirus as an eight out of ten.

Synchronizes security across the security fabric and has the ability to integrate with other vendors
Pros and Cons
  • "McAfee synchronizes security across the security fabric."
  • "They could try to introduce advanced threat detection."

What is our primary use case?

I have been using this solution for six months. We use the private on-prem deployment model. Our primary use case is for clients who have big environments. For VDIs it's a nightmare to install security software to all of the VMs. It's a bottleneck for resource consumption and highers the data consumption costs. For example, let's say we have 1,000 VMs and we want to scan all of them with an agent-based solution, it eats up a lot of resources. A company offers agentless solutions, they prepare a VM and they scan the VMs without installing an agent. That VM will take care of the scan. McAfee MOVE minimizes a lot of the overhead. 

What is most valuable?

Sophos only provides signature-based scanning, a basic antivirus. It is not enough for an advanced attack or advanced threat. It's weak. McAfee can integrate with the existing fabric. I really like this aspect. It enables all of the security parts to talk to each other. McAfee synchronizes security across the security fabric. They cross communicate. This is one aspect that is a huge gap with other security products. McAfee minimizes the threats.

What needs improvement?

They could try to introduce advanced threat detection. This could be a huge improvement because some customers don't want to buy the entire McAfee product. It should product from unknown threats as well. 

I would like to ability to mitigate advanced threats. It should be a bit stronger. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's fairly stable. It's used a lot. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's pretty scalable. It has a module architecture. 

How are customer service and technical support?

Their technical support is generally responsive and has good resolutions for issues. They respond quickly. 

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

I am very familiar with Sophos.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup complexity will depend on your deployment model. There is an agent-based or a non-agent based deployment with integrates with VMware NSX. 

The deployment can take around an hour and configuring it also doesn't take much time. Any agent-based solution can take some time. The non-agent based one will only take a few hours. It really varies on the environment. 

What other advice do I have?

Take a look at the other McAfee products. It integrates with other products and vendors which is unique to other vendors. No vendor is perfect in security and no vendor can provide a solution to all security problems. Having this ability is revolutionary. It enables you to combine the best of each vendor. McAfee is the way to go for threat intelligence. 

I would rate McAfee MOVE an eight out of ten.
