Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is one of the market leaders, according to Gartner, on mobile protection."

More McAfee MVISION Mobile Pros →

"Disk encryption and file and folder encryption are the most valuable and used features. It is also very well integrated with Symantec Messaging Gateway and Symantec DLP, which is helpful in protecting any kind of information that goes outside. Symantec DLP catches an email and sends it to the encryption server. The encryption server encrypts the email and intimates to the user that confidential information is being sent out. The administrator can then take appropriate action.""The solution is easy to use.""One notable aspect is the ability to customize alerts and other settings.""The installation process is pretty straightforward.""The most valuable features are the messaging features and shared folders.""We use it for protecting accounts, which is its most valuable feature.""This product is a solid, all-in-one solution for enterprise data management.""The initial setup was easy."

Cons
"The one thing that I know that they're working on, that's not quite there in the product, is the artificial intelligence aspect."

More McAfee MVISION Mobile Cons →

"Its decryption time needs to be improved. Currently, its decryption time is very long, and it takes double time than encryption. They need to work on that. Its encryption time is fine.""The security could be improved.""The UI could be improved.""They have too high of a price tag. That's why they're losing the market share.""It's a bit difficult to get good support. Their response times are really bad.""I would like them to have integration with a wider range of non-Symantec products.""Its remote deployment should be improved. Currently, there is no remote deployment for Symantec Endpoint Encryption. You have to install it manually. There are some issues with AD integration and the time taken to reflect a password on the Endpoint Encryption Manager when a new user has changed the password, but they are already working on these issues, and these will be resolved in the next release.""From an administration point of view, maybe it would be ideal to have it centrally managed."
