Protects an organization from the threat of a data breach or cyberattack
The vendors themselves will actually help with any customizations a client may require. Many vendors don't offer this service or if they do, they charge very high rates. Their vendors are very helpful; they will walk you through the whole Playbook until you have a good grasp of the product. Also, in terms of integration, it is very seamless compared to other cybersecurity products. They also have good features such as multi-tenancy. Every user would like to see these kinds of fanciful features on a robust interface. It actually makes the user feel like they are in a sci-fi movie.

Offers automation alert features with easy integrations and impressive scalability
I would rate the initial setup an eight out of ten. There are a few technical challenges with the deployment, but it can easily solved by an experienced professional but not by a beginner user of the tool. The complete implementation and migration to McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator will take around three months. If someone is using a software platform already with implemented use cases in their environment, it might be difficult to implement the same use cases when the customer is migrating to McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator. The conditions and prior alert settings needs to be accurate when migrating to McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator, otherwise false positive alerts might get generated.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The vendors themselves will actually help with any customizations a client may require"
"The central management console is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the central management console, which is used for DLP, endpoint security, drive encryption, and application control."
"McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator's performance is good."
"I like the solution's feasibility. McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is also better and easier to use than other ePOs."
"You have to have some experience, however, it's pretty simple to understand."
"McAfee is helping us to clean all of the viruses from the machines, protecting our desktops from the latest threats."
"It is a highly scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution's best part is that it is very easy to manage McAfee Agent."
 

Cons

"The support is not 24/7."
"Lacks a single plug-in for multiple uses."
"The solution could improve the EDR component in many areas, such as the zero-day and persistent threats. The implementation is also complex for this feature."
"The rollout to cover the online resources, such as SharePoint, One Drive, and Office 365 doesn't seem to have a very clear path."
"While there are bugs and a few functionality issues, it is just a matter of raising them with the support team. However, support is part of the problem as well. You want everything to be seamless in a perfect world, but the support is spread across different countries. They have Level 1, 2, and 3. Level 1 is most likely in a developing country. They don't provide the best service."
"It's a little bit complex to configure it, but when you start using it, it is much easier. There are many policies that you need to create, and in three or four places"
"The way that ePolicy launches the updates is very slow. It would be great if that was faster."
"The areas of concern where improvements are needed are related to the product's assignment policy and tag assignment, where users can assign the policies with the help of tags and sort out the systems."
"I would like to see McAfee reduce the amount of manual work required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"McAfee tries to package different things into different products, then sell them as different products with different licenses. They just split everything up into multiple things. That's just their sales pitch and how they do it."
"McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is not an expensive solution."
"McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is a cheaply priced product, meaning it is not expensive since McAfee provides a free version of ePO, which includes phone support as well."
"This solution is priced in the mid-range."
"Compared to other Antivirus products, the cost of this solution is a bit high."
"For large enterprise companies, the price should be alright, but for small businesses, the uptake might be slow because, for these clients, the price doesn't look very attractive."
"It is attractively priced. It is a fraction of what we're going to pay for CrowdStrike or SentinelOne, but it only has a fraction of the capabilities as well."
"It's an expensive solution"
