Can be well-integrated with the existing systems in a company and is very intuitive to use
I once faced a problem with the tool, but I remember that I managed to work without a VPN, and then the problem with the product was sorted out somehow. An option to connect not only with the username and password but also through SMS in an easy manner is something that needs to be added to the tool. When I changed the way I connect to the tool to the SMS option, I did it because I bought a new phone, and it had a problem connecting with the tool, after which I had to go to the settings to change it, so I felt it was not very intuitive. In other platforms, the user will have two options to connect, one of which is with a username and password, and the other one is with an SMS.

Secures data loss for our law firm but has struggled with outdated, complex management
On a technical level, when I draw a comparison between McAfee Complete Data Protection and CrowdStrike, McAfee Complete Data Protection is a one out of ten, and then CrowdStrike is a ten out of ten. I say that technically McAfee Complete Data Protection is so low because the console and the portal haven't changed in almost ten years. It's had some slight visual improvements, but that's it. It's not really working in a modern portal the way that some of the enterprise apps like CrowdStrike actually work. McAfee Complete Data Protection is also very difficult to use. It takes a lot of time to get my head around how it actually operates. It's not very intuitive. However, in terms of pricing and the specific use cases that I have, it's good.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The encryption ensures each of our drives is not invasive and that the user does not have a bad experience even while the drive is being encrypted."
"Its ability to provide a security layer of encryption that allows us to prevent unauthorized access to computers."
"It has addressed storage and data transfer demands efficiently."
"The product's initial setup phase is totally fine."
"We haven't had anything related to threats pass through our system in the last five years."
"They have Disc Encryption, Anti-Malware, and a VPN Blade which is beneficial for us."
"It's easily scalable and adaptable to the needs of the business."
"The solution is pretty reliable."
"McAfee Complete Data Protection provides stability and is a good product."
"The console allows us to manage not only endpoint protection, but DLP, and also integration with MVISION Cloud."
"The solution is excellent for protecting users from data being exploited, and it's also great for preventing data leakage."
"It works seamlessly as long as it's well configured and the policies have been put properly."
"The console of the EDR is totally in the cloud."
"I got two products in one solution, so it is very efficient."
"All features in this solution are valuable, but it depends on its function."
"It provides encryption, data protection, and DLP, all under one roof. The deployment, scalability, and reporting is too good. My clients are satisfied with the stability of the product. The solution is highly scalable. The technical support's response time and turnaround time as the solution provider are excellent. The availability of great back-end support and process support makes the product great. The initial setup is straightforward, with simple configurations. I recommend the solution."
 

Cons

"I rate the support from Check Point Full Disk Encryption Software Blade a six out of ten."
"The solution is overpriced."
"The tool should be able to recover data from a stolen device."
"There are a few cases of security breaches when the networking system fails and can lead to malware attacks. The next release should focus more on data virtualization and support for all computing devices."
"The price is high for small scale business enterprises."
"They could improve the latency in the platform when entering the portal."
"While the solution works as it should, it is overly expensive."
"The cost of maintaining the system is high for personal use."
"The full set of features are enabled only for Windows. There are some features that do not work with Mac."
"Though there may be some ransomware detection modules now in McAfee Complete Data Protection, it's a field that McAfee should focus on, particularly having integration with some EDR or other add-ons. This is so McAfee Complete Data Protection would have more accuracy in detecting new ransomware in the market. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is for its pricing to be more cost-effective because some competitors have cheaper pricing, so McAfee Complete Data Protection can't compete. Sometimes, some new vendors offer other solutions rather than McAfee Complete Data Protection, to win customers over, and this is a loss for McAfee."
"The solution needs a next generation or AI firewall that doesn't rely on signatures to detect traits."
"I don't like this solution because it is difficult to manage endpoints, policies, algorithm engines, and products."
"They need to segregate McAfee Complete Data Protection for endpoints and servers."
"The changes I would suggest for McAfee Complete Data Protection involve its global control capability."
"Some clients still receive spam and malware in their attachments, so the data protection isn't working correctly. We have configured it and enabled the features in the client's system, but some policies have failed to work once or twice."
"We encountered several problems with the solution's stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As it costs $125 per workstation per year, something which is above the price of what the competition is charging, the solution is definitely too expensive."
"I think the price could be a little bit less."
"The cost of McAfee Complete Data Protection isn't that high but isn't that cheap as well, so it's in the middle."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"The pricing of the cloud offering seems confusing."
"The solution is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"The price of this solution needs to be improved."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the solution a seven."
"The price is good, it's a low-cost solution."
