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

"You have to have some experience, however, it's pretty simple to understand."

"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."

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

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

"The general endpoint protection is valuable, and it is easy to manage."

"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."

"McAfee is helping us to clean all of the viruses from the machines, protecting our desktops from the latest threats."

"The most valuable features of McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator are the easy-to-use console, and lots of reports, such as customized reports and inventory reports. Additionally, overall the centralized management is very good where you can see the compliance levels and inventory."

More McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator pros

"It's a solid platform and is stable enough. It is not complicated and is easy to use."

"I like their customer support."

"ThreatConnect has a highly user-friendly interface."

"The tool's installation, integration, and playbooks are very straightforward."

"The product automatically generated a threat score based on the maliciousness of an IP."

"We have been able to see a return on investment as our clients believe in us more."

"The most valuable features are ease of use and the ability to customize it."

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."

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

"As for improvements, I think that putting everything on a cloud and one console would be a great idea and would be useful for customers."

"The Virtual Patching feature needs to be improved."

"Some drawbacks include difficulty in supporting improvements because we don't get proper response from Trellix support, so there is a need to improve the support."

"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 installation process is quite difficult and requires technical support."

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

More McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator cons

"They should make it a little bit easier to generate events and share them with the community"

"It would be good to have more feeds and more integrated sources for enrichment."

"I would like to see improvements in the time zone support of their customer service, considering users are from different time zones."

"Support is an area with which nobody is ever fully satisfied, so it can be improved."

"Sometimes, when using the solution, it slows down, affecting our ability to mitigate threats."

"I couldn’t get any training videos online when I was working with the tool."

"Integration is an area that could use some improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"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."

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

"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."

"It's an expensive solution"

"McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is not an expensive solution."

"$The price of McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is expensive, it is approximately $6,000 to $9,000 per license annually."

More McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator pricing and cost advice

"The price of this product is in the mid-range, not too expensive, nor inexpensive."

"The tool is expensive."

"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."

"The price could be better."
