We have found the solution to stable.
The product is scalable.

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?

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.

Provides a flexible and user-friendly console
Pros and Cons
- "McAfee provides a console which is very flexible, usable and user-friendly."
- "McAfee drive encryption does not work very smoothly."
What is our primary use case?
I use McAfee antivirus, DLP, drive encryption. I use it for its anti-malware features.
What is most valuable?
The solution works fine. Its processing of the hardware resources on my clients' computers do not take long. McAfee provides a console which is very flexible, usable and user-friendly. Sophos, too, is user-friendly. The solution has deep learning threat-hunting-like ransomware protection. This is why I like both of these products.
What needs improvement?
McAfee drive encryption does not work very smoothly. While I make use of it, I have found that it does not work properly on the machine. Along the way it tends to get corrupted and this can happen on certain drives. I know there are many issues worth mentioning, although I am hard pressed to come up with specific ones at the moment. In respect of hardware resources such as RAM, there is also a need to improve the antivirus features.
Deep learning, machine learning should be added as a feature. Ransomware protection should be updated for the latest ransomware extension. By comparison, Sophos has many new features, such as deep learning in XDR. McAfee needs to be improved so that its features can compete with those of Sophos, such as threat hunting, threat analysis and an additional lockdown feature for the server.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution has good scalability.
How are customer service and technical support?
VMcAfee technical support is very good. The first thing which must be done is to log a case, at which point we must wait one to two hours at times, something I find time consuming.
Overall, though, the support is very good, although Sophos' is comparatively better.
How was the initial setup?
Installation is definitely very easy. At the moment, we are making use of the cloud consoles, so there is only a need to register one's email ID and password, which will provide access to the console.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
As my role is technical in nature, I am not in a position to comment on pricing.
What other advice do I have?
The solution is both cloud-based and on-premises.
McAfee is the way to go for someone who only is interested in using DLP and antivirus. It will also allow a person to use the device controller. Sophos makes available the use of full DLP. However, one must use Symantec for drive encryption, which is very good.
I rate McAfee MOVE AntiVirus as an eight out of ten.
