Comprehensive security management enabled through efficient integration and automation

McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator helps automate routine security tasks. We created customized automation. For example, when we did not have an EDR or XDR solution, we created tasks exclusively for detection and response automation and automatic segregation of infected PCs. The ability to customize the dashboard in McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator helps us significantly. The main feature is automation for auto-segmentation and segregation. As we are in an AI era, McAfee can focus on AI tools. Instead of putting manual effort into each security-related task, it can implement more advanced automation using AI. This enhancement could improve cybersecurity significantly. Regarding the reporting area in McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator, we are satisfied with what we currently have. Our cybersecurity team needs customized reports beyond the default ones. We have more than 20 separate reports for identifying threats, managing, and understanding the security posture of our company and assets.

Provides comprehensive visibility and protection, helps in identifying the gaps in security, and comes with excellent onboarding support

In a couple of instances, we had a little bit of trouble in getting it distributed throughout the organization. We ultimately managed to do it, but they talk about it being a pretty simple process, and it became a little laborious. It would just turn away. The agents were not being distributed. It was just churning and churning and churning. When we were looking for specific categories of data, it was getting bogged down, but that was not even so much Code42, although some of it was their issue. It really has to do with the overall infrastructure and what the organization is prepared to do. If the infrastructure or the networking is a little hinky or you don't have a really finely tuned network infrastructure environment and your patches aren't up to date on your servers and your endpoints, it could get a little sticky. Other than that, it was okay. We really didn't have much problem beyond that. It took a couple of days to sort that out, but it was no big deal.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The DLP feature in McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is good."

"We get fewer false positives than with other solutions."

"The policy auditing, policy management, and device auditing are all valuable features. Our customers appreciated the ability to get alerts to system-wide events from a single view."

"The valuable feature of the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is the management of the policies."

"It is a scalable solution...I rate its scalability a nine out of ten."

"The central manager policy means we have almost all client modules in one solution."

"We implemented data transfer protection, which allows transfer in one direction only. Users can copy from the PC to the USB but not from the USB to the PC. That way, if someone is carrying a virus on a USB, it will not be transferred to the PC."

"The advantages of McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator include being a centralized management console, which we possess when managing multiple solutions in Trellix DLP and EPP through the EPO solution."

More McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator pros

"Risk factors can be adjusted for all intricate details."

"t has a very user friendly status bar with common errors and has logs built in to the console so we can review the issues or status of CrashPlan."

"Code42 Next-Gen DLP is scalable."

"Backup and recovery have been great, but I love having the ability to keep the hybrid type build which they offer."

"It has quite a bit of flexibility in configuring backup sets."

"Works in the background and users are able to perform restores."

"It had the ability to preseed by sending in a data drive and could restore by sending the user a data drive."

"It required very little ongoing maintenance once setup."

Cons

"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."

"Features such as full drive encryption are lacking in the cloud version."

"The solution sometimes has some false positives on IP addresses, from the web control aspect of the product. This needs to be improved."

"McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator should improve its integration with other tools."

"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."

"The issues with the integration capabilities of the product, specifically the ones that are deployed on an on-premises model, need to be improved."

"There needs to be support for Mac computers. Currently, McAfee does not work on iOS."

"They have to do something to make the solution more resilient or recoverable from power failure events, which may include creating their own database."

More McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator cons

"You can't always filter out data that you'd like to."

"There doesn't seem to be any feature that is lacking."

"Reporting could use an overhaul. It is very limited."

"What I think could be improved is how I get support."

"More security would be nice, I would love to be able to remotely brick a stolen laptop and it's hard disk drive (HDD)."

"The application, written in Java, required far more system resources on a Client than other solutions."

"I think one we can improve is the compression."

"Due to recent changes that effectively abandoned an entire segment of their user base, I no longer trust nor can recommend Code42 products."

More Mimecast Incydr cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."

"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."

"It's an expensive solution"

"There is a license required to use this solution. If we use the additional components, such as DLP encryption, there is an additional cost. However, it is similar to a separate product altogether. If you want to use that or not, it is optional, but when you use it, it will cost you additional pricing."

"McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is not an expensive solution."

"This solution is priced in the mid-range."

"Compared to other Antivirus products, the cost of this solution is a bit high."

More McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator pricing and cost advice

"It used to be a good solution for SOHO in particular as it had unlimited storage for a reasonable price. However, their pricing model has changed and they are now primarily targeting enterprise users."

"It is 100% worth the cost to get and keep the support, especially when setting it up."

"The pricing is reasonable. It's my understanding that the cost is about $7 for unlimited storage in the cloud per server."

"It was expensive. It was more expensive than Eureka, and it was more expensive than Barracuda Backup, but what we got was a full team. They didn't come in and nickel and dime us. They provided the assistance we needed. They didn't say that they need to charge us for something or it is going to take another statement of work. It was all bundled into it... We pay for the software maintenance. It is probably 18% or 20% of the license fee for rev releases."

"They were the best solution and surprisingly enough, the cheapest."
