No performance issues but haven't really noticed a difference in security
Pros and Cons
  • "In the time that I've been using it, it hasn't crashed. It's rock-solid. So, I haven't noticed any performance issues, like using too much CPU or memory."
  • "We started using MOVE Antivirus because our security staff required it. And I personally haven't seen the difference because I haven't had any issues so far that McAfee addresses."

What is our primary use case?

We started using MOVE Antivirus because our security staff required it. And I personally haven't seen the difference because I haven't had any issues so far that McAfee addresses. MOVE Antivirus is to reduce and avoid risks.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using MOVE AntiVirus for around a month. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

In the time that I've been using it, it hasn't crashed. It's rock-solid. So, I haven't noticed any performance issues, like using too much CPU or memory.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It has been expanded to our entire organization. So, it's more than 100 people.

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

I didn't use any antivirus because my operating system was secure already. I haven't faced any issues so far, so I didn't use it before.

How was the initial setup?

Setting up MOVE Antivirus is straightforward. It only takes a couple of minutes. We have a couple of technical specialists who handle all of this.

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

I'm not sure about the pricing because it's something that our security staff installed. It should be licensed like any commercial solution purchased by a company.

What other advice do I have?

I rate MOVE Antivirus seven out of 10. I haven't had any issues, so I can recommend this.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

An agent-less solution that offers good performance and good malware detection
Pros and Cons
  • "It's minimal and not too heavy on the system."
  • "We are happy with the level of support."
  • "It would be ideal if the initial setup was a bit easier."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for malware protection and security purposes.

What is most valuable?

The reason why went for MOVE is due to the fact that it's agent-less. This is one of the most valuable aspects of the product overall.

The solution's performance is very good.

It's minimal and not too heavy on the system.

The malware detection is very good.

We have found the solution to stable.

The product is scalable. 

The solution is highly compatible with other products.

What needs improvement?

As of now, we haven't identified any room for improvement as it's addressing our requirements for malware detection and for performance also. 

It would be ideal if the initial setup was a bit easier.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used the solution for three or four years at this point.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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.

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

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.

What other advice do I have?

We are a customer and an end-user.

I would recommend this product if a company is deploying a virtual environment, especially if it is Citrix VDI due to its compatibility and the minimal impact on the performance.

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

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

The initial setup was a positive experience.

Stable and easy to set up but needs to add more filtering capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is very stable and reliable."
  • "The solution needs to be more secure."

What is our primary use case?

I primarily use the solution for the security features on offer. I use it to protect my Windows system.

What is most valuable?

The solution is very stable and reliable. 

The installation is very easy and the deployment is very fast. It doesn't take a lot of time to get up and running. 

What needs improvement?

The solution needs to be more secure. If they can continue to improve the level of protection it offers, it would be a better product.

They need to offer more spam filters or integrate more features for controlling junk. They need to be able to filter during browsing. That would help make the solution more secure.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been using the solution for about four or five years at this point. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable. I haven't had any issues with it. 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 cannot speak to how scalable the solution is. I haven't used it in a way that would require scaling and therefore have never experimented with expanding it beyond what I need right now. 

I just use the solution myself, for personal use.

How are customer service and technical support?

I've never had to contact technical support. Therefore, I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they would be. 

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

I tend to use McAfee and Symantec for my security solutions. I use them both to protect my systems. 

A long time ago, I used Norton Antivirus.

How was the initial setup?

The initial implementation is straightforward and simple. It's not overly complex or difficult.

The deployment itself takes maybe five to ten minutes. It's very fast. You are up and running in no time.

What about the implementation team?

I am able to handle the setup and deployment myself. I don't need to rely on an integrator or consultant. The process is easy.

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

You do need to pay a license fee in order to use the product.

What other advice do I have?

I have the solution on my personal laptop. The solution automatically updates and therefore I never need to check what version I'm on to make sure it's the latest.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. If it offered better protection, I would rate it higher. 

I might recommend this solution to other users and organizations.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Stable and easy to install but ends up slowing down machines
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution offers good stability."
  • "The solution is very easy to install and deploy."
  • "The performance is poor."
  • "The performance is poor. It slows down my PC when it starts running."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the product as an antivirus. It's for security. We use it specifically for PC protection. We primarily use the product within our enterprise. 

What is most valuable?

The solution offers good stability.

The installation process is easy.

What needs improvement?

The performance is poor. It slows down my PC when it starts running. It takes up a lot of energy on the system.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been using the solution for a long time. It's likely been years at this point. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

While the solution is stable, in that there are no bugs or glitches, it does tend to make my PC run very slowly when it initiates scans. It takes up a lot of energy on the system and slows everything down. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution doesn't scale within the parameters of my PC. I just use it for my personal computer. 

How are customer service and technical support?

I've never directly dealt with McAfee. In the two instances I have had issues, I contacted my own internal technical support team. I'm not sure who they would reach out to if they had issues they couldn't solve. However, from my perspective, I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive the McAfee team is, as I've never talked with them. 

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

I've never been provided with any other antivirus. This is the only antivirus that my company has offered to me. 

How was the initial setup?

The solution is very easy to install and deploy. A company shouldn't have any issues with handling the setup process. It's not complex. It's quite straightforward. 

My understanding is that setup only takes a few minutes and normally when we get the laptop with it pre-installed. As users, we only experience the update process. The update doesn't take that much time.

What about the implementation team?

The product comes pre-installed on our machines. 

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

We have an enterprise license, however, I do not handle the details. I cannot speak to the exact cost. That's handled by someone else in the company. 

What other advice do I have?

The solution tends to automatically update itself, and therefore, we are always on the latest version. However, I cannot speak to the exact version number. I'm not sure if it's on the cloud or on-premises. It just seems to work in the background and take care of itself. 

I'd rate the solution at a six out of ten. It's an okay security solution, however, it really affects the performance of my machine. 

I'm not sure if I would be able to recommend the solution, as I have no sense of what else is on the market.
