I have stopped using McAfee Web Protection and I now use ESET. My advice to others is that when using McAfee Web Protection, use it along with your endpoint security and don't have very high hopes of this solution alone, you must have the other components in place. I rate McAfee Web Protection an eight out of ten.
The LiveSafe version works very well and has a very small price. It is definitely a solution to consider. I would rate this solution a nine out of 10. It is very rare that I find something perfect. There is no major issue with the product so far. Once in a while, I do the review, and it seems like its engine is performing well in terms of protection.

I receive a monthly report and I've never had a problem so I presume that it's doing its job well. I don't get any viruses or have any issues. It's not strong in terms of spam filter so I do get that at times. Eventually, I'd probably consider added a spam filter but it's not a big issue for me. I would rate this solution a nine out of 10.

The advice I would give to people who want to use McAfee Web Protection would be that I recommend the product. I think that it is good. On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate Web Protection overall as about an eight. It has got some room for improvement, but I also never give people a ten. It does what I want it to do, generally. I think it definitely does what it says it does.

I think right now that the product is the top one in the market right now. And we used another before then. One of my guys is working with it. He's the expert with this. And he told me that he's very happy with them.

McAfee Web Protection is good technology. Absolutely. It has a very particular configuration that you can implement in a granular way. What is probably not easy to do is to do something simple. I would rate it an eight out of ten.

I would recommend this product but at the same time, I would first check to see if there are any newcomers in the market. I would then do a proof of concept and test it out. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
