Information Management Specialist at a government with 501-1,000 employees
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.

Service Delivery Manager / Architect at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
Protects the systems from malware, but might have an issue related to updates
Pros and Cons
- "The good part of this solution is that it protects the systems from malware etc. It also has a good user interface."
- "Sometimes, the updates don't happen successfully. The updates start, but they are not completed. Let's say there is a process that runs on the server-side every night, and it pushes the updates. Sometimes, these updates fail. I'm not sure whether it is a McAfee's problem or an internal problem with our systems. If this is really an issue with McAfee MOVE AntiVirus, McAfee can work on it and improve it in the next release. If it is an internal issue, I need to figure out why it is happening within the organization. We may need to take some technical support from McAfee to see what the problem is and then we need to get it fixed. At this point in time, all I know is that it happens sometimes."
What is our primary use case?
We run it across the organization for protecting the individual work locations and workstations. It could be a laptop, desktop, or server. A client version of McAfee End Point Security is installed on each and every desktop or laptop.
It completely monitors all the traffic and downloads. It also scans the files that are configured to be scanned. For example, any audio files, MOV files, or large files that we download. All such files will go through the McAfee MOVE AntiVirus to ensure that the virus is not getting into our network and systems.
What is most valuable?
The good part of this solution is that it protects the systems from malware etc. It also has a good user interface.
What needs improvement?
Sometimes, the updates don't happen successfully. The updates start, but they are not completed. Let's say there is a process that runs on the server-side every night, and it pushes the updates. Sometimes, these updates fail. I'm not sure whether it is a McAfee's problem or an internal problem with our systems.
If this is really an issue with McAfee MOVE AntiVirus, McAfee can work on it and improve it in the next release. If it is an internal issue, I need to figure out why it is happening within the organization. We may need to take some technical support from McAfee to see what the problem is and then we need to get it fixed. At this point in time, all I know is that it happens sometimes.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using this solution in our organization for the last two years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is scalable for now. Currently, around 200 users are using it. Our organization is growing, and we're not getting any scalability issues at this point in time.
How are customer service and technical support?
I have never heard of any issues with technical support. That means technical support is good. If something comes to my notice or I have to get involved, then there is a problem.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. It is good.
What about the implementation team?
We have only one team member who takes care of the implementation, which is kind of a scheduled job. Whenever we set up the environment for a particular user, this is a mandatory software that we install. This is the protocol that we follow across the organization for new configurations.
After this software is set up, it is updated with push updates via servers. It's all automatic. So, we don't need too many resources to take care of the implementation, unless there is a problem that needs to be looked into.
What other advice do I have?
I would definitely recommend McAfee MOVE AntiVirus to others. As of now, I don't see any problem. I haven't got a complete hold of what is happening over here. Maybe the updates are finding that we don't have any virus in the system. So, it's definitely satisfactory.
I would rate McAfee MOVE AntiVirus a seven out of ten.

Manager at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Stable and easy to install but ends up slowing down machines
Pros and Cons
- "The solution offers good stability."
- "The performance is poor."
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.

How are customer service and technical support?
I haven't had any direct experience with technical support. I can't speak to how knowledgeable or responsive they would be if you had to contact them.

I can't speak to the installation process. It was installed by an outside vendor.
The setup might have taken 30-45 minutes.
What about the implementation team?
We used an outside vendor that installed the solution for us. While I may be able to handle it myself, I can't speak to how the process would have gone had I done it on my own.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I have a one-year subscription on my laptop. I'm not sure what my company is using. They may be on an enterprise level.
