Project manager at SII
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Secures data loss for our law firm but has struggled with outdated, complex management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

"We never had any complaints about the performance of computers with this tool to be able to manage the protection of disks and drives."
"We use the solution for endpoint encryption and it handles everything, with security, a firewall within the workstation, and DLP within the solution and on the workstation, making use of 360-degree security on one's workstation."
"The product's initial setup phase is totally fine."
"The solution is pretty reliable."
"It keeps the devices well monitored."
"Check Point gives us the possibility of reaching each security goal we have and has been a strategic ally for our internal assurance and the security of our information within the organization."
"Above all, the possibility of keeping our data safe by placing a unique digital signature for each device we will encrypt, informing us of any unauthorized changes, is one of the most valuable features."
"It has addressed storage and data transfer demands efficiently."
"Technical support is very helpful."
"McAfee Complete Data Protection is both stable and scalable."
"The server software console is exquisitely designed and organized for handy access and manipulation by the administrator."
"I got two products in one solution, so it is very efficient."
"The console allows us to manage not only endpoint protection, but DLP, and also integration with MVISION Cloud."
"The interface is very good. You can create and manage your own dashboard."
"Complete Data Protection was necessary to meet advanced customer requirements."
"The main difference between McAfee Complete Data Protection and other solutions is that McAfee has a strong point as a comprehensive security solution."
 

Cons

"They should improve the interface and make it a little more user-friendly."
"The solution is overpriced."
"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 tool should be able to recover data from a stolen device."
"I would like to bring centralized management to mobile devices."
"In the future, I would like to see is the ability to decrypt equipment."
"Sometimes the performance rates are not consistent."
"The response time for technical support could be faster."
"I would like to have an easier and less-hassle upgrade process in future releases of the software, and extra license renewal price discounts too."
"If you compare this solution with next-generation products like CrowdStrike, you will find that it should be easier to work on and therefore more user-friendly."
"The refresh feature needs improvement. You need to refresh it manually yt going to the address bar, clicking on it and pressing enter, or pressing F5. There should be a button you can click on to refresh or have it so every five seconds it's refreshing."
"The product must improve endpoint encryption."
"I think in looking at this as to how it can be improved, the drive encryption side is not as straightforward as it could be. It is a little bit heavy on the configuration part."
"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 disk encryption can be improved."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
 

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."
"The price of this solution needs to be improved."
"The pricing is quite reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The solution is affordable"
"The pricing is better than that of some competing products."
"We currently have a contract option with McAfee Complete Data Protection."
"I think the price could be a little bit less."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"McAfee Complete Data Protection is a little bit expensive."
