Featured Reviews

Binu Haneef - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The feature that I have found most valuable is its general purpose of protecting our endpoints from infections, malicious files, and all those kinds of things. The fact that there are organized policies and policy inheritance. The general management."
"Their support is really good. I would rate it a nine out of ten. I have never any issues with their support. They always reply and follow our queries on time."
"McAfee is helping us to clean all of the viruses from the machines, protecting our desktops from the latest threats."
"The best part is management in McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator."
"I like the solution's feasibility. McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is also better and easier to use than other ePOs."
"Technical support is very helpful."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the antivirus and the DLP."
"The automation alert for the ticketing tool is one of the vital features"
"The tool's installation, integration, and playbooks are very straightforward."
"ThreatConnect has a highly user-friendly interface."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and the ability to customize it."
"We have been able to see a return on investment as our clients believe in us more."
"The product automatically generated a threat score based on the maliciousness of an IP."
"I like their customer support."
"It's a solid platform and is stable enough. It is not complicated and is easy to use."
 

Cons

"I would like to see McAfee reduce the amount of manual work required."
"They have to do something to make the solution more resilient or recoverable from power failure events, which may include creating their own database."
"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."
"McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator needs to upgrade its technology since the solution's EDR function is not good compared to other vendors in the market."
"McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator could improve by supporting container microservices, such as Docker and Kubernetes."
"There should be more insights and completeness into the cyber kill chain, similar to CrowdStrike and SentinelOne. It just seems a little outdated in being 100% signature-based without all of the insights and protections that come with CrowdStrike and SentinelOne. Overall, they've got some catching up to do if they plan to compete in the comprehensive EDR space."
"The impact of the agent on the endpoint's performance - the resources it takes. Additionally, the difficulties we experience with inheriting and breaking inheritance on the organization's structure breakdown for policy inheritance and then for rules inheritance. We are actually struggling with this."
"McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator should improve its integration with other tools."
"Sometimes, when using the solution, it slows down, affecting our ability to mitigate threats."
"They should make it a little bit easier to generate events and share them with the community"
"I would like to see improvements in the time zone support of their customer service, considering users are from different time zones."
"I couldn’t get any training videos online when I was working with the tool."
"Support is an area with which nobody is ever fully satisfied, so it can be improved."
"It would be good to have more feeds and more integrated sources for enrichment."
"Integration is an area that could use some improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is priced in the mid-range."
"$The price of McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is expensive, it is approximately $6,000 to $9,000 per license annually."
"McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is not 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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The price could be better."
"The tool is expensive."
"The price of this product is in the mid-range, not too expensive, nor inexpensive."
"I rate the product price as six on a scale of one to ten, where one is extremely expensive, and ten means it is cheap."
