I would like to see an API interface for internal email and control of outgoing email to make it closer to 10. It's necessary; today we have an MX interface, and it would be interesting to have an API interface to manage internal email and an external control of outgoing email.

The scalability could be better. We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats. In sandboxing, the time to respond is slower than we would like. We'd like them to be able to process faster. For example, Fortinet, they are doing 18,000 files per hour. For Wildfire, it is elastic. It can support as many files as you get. McAfee doesn't react like that. It does not support interfaces with HTTPS.

Some of our customers have mentioned the lack of a tool that would allow for remote capabilities without being attached to the internet. They've been looking at opportunities to set up their own networks and they'd like to use McAfee and other cyber tools strictly through that and not rely on the internet to run them.
Make the ATD appliance a part of the whole product offering and take the whole thing onto the cloud. While it is there already, it is not to the same level as the on-premise version. McAfee sells the ATD APPLIANCE AS A SEPARATE PRODUCT above the rest of the threat defence mechanism stated above. Im not sure of exact cloud readiness status of the ATD device ( making the device available on the cloud as part of the licensed products ).

This solution needs to be made "cloud ready". As the industry is pushing everybody towards the cloud, there are these fat clients, like McAfee, that are not lightweight and cannot handle the cloud infrastructure yet.

I would like to have a simplified deployment. So, it would not need to reconfigure a bunch of other things to get the product integrated. The Cisco networking products could be improved upon.

There could be a tool that automatically updates all-new Microsoft IPs, which are available for free to connect to the client.

I would like to see future versions of the solution incorporate artificial intelligence technology.

I think maybe a simpler interface might help. And a better integration with the active directory and to integrate with directory services.
