Secures data loss for our law firm but has struggled with outdated, complex management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.

Fast with great patching and the ability to prioritize critical work
For a customer that had 4,000 devices, and at the time they had something that only supported Windows. We suggested this product, and the client was able to manage inventory and patch beyond just Windows devices. It helped them maintain compliance and patching permissions. They could do all the patching of all the devices within a week - offering less downtime.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can scale the solution."
"All of the Complete Data products are valuable."
"The beauty of McAfee is that they are not looking at encryption from one single standpoint. It is a broader solution."
"Reporting and encryption are its most valuable features."
"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."
"With McAfee Complete Data Protection, you can managed all your security solutions from one single server and one interface. This might be the most powerful advantage of McAfee's solution."
"The stability is good."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"A better GUI platform would make it easier to present information to management; I would not need to fix the data before I present it."
"The solution needs a next generation or AI firewall that doesn't rely on signatures to detect traits."
"The product consumes too much RAM and CPU for its processing and this can lead to resource issues on PCs."
"We are looking for more granular control over the policies."
"The solution needs more advanced features."
"Maybe a better GUI platform; that would make it easier to present information to management, so I would not need to fix the data before I present it."
"The disk encryption can be improved."
"Initial setup was complex."
"I'm not on the most current version, however, I know one area that I didn't get into that I kind of wanted to is to have a mobile device management tool. My understanding is it's improved a lot from the version I have. It may be a feature that is already available."
"If they could introduce it on the cloud, it would be ideal."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of McAfee Complete Data Protection isn't that high but isn't that cheap as well, so it's in the middle."
"The pricing is quite reasonable compared to other vendors."
"McAfee Complete Data Protection is a little bit expensive."
"The price of this solution needs to be improved."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"We currently have a contract option with McAfee Complete Data Protection."
