Ease of application management and feature richness impress
With Sophos Home, it's easy to implement; you just log in and manage the various computers as to what you want to detect. You can set up the type of security you want and reject things such as firearms, drugs, and porn, so I find it's very easy to use, very reasonably priced, and they give you Sophos Home for free when we use some of the other products that they recently changed over on the commercial side. I really don't have much comment on the banking protection or keylogger security feature, but I do realize that Sophos Home is good protection for us, and I'm just about to install a Sophos hardware firewall in our company as well.

Comprehensive protection and seamless integration elevate security experience
A positive aspect of Trellix MOVE AntiVirus is that our biggest feature prevents users from installing USB drives. We don't have the issue of distributing viruses or transfer of files. They always track harmful files before they can enter the computer system. It protects against unnecessary use of external storage devices. It also gives protection to all the systems, on-premise or out of the premises, online, including the server. The server sends periodic updates to all the systems connected to it. We have administrative overhead as we have centralized management for Trellix MOVE AntiVirus. We can monitor all our computers that are currently using Trellix MOVE AntiVirus. We can monitor all their vital points. If they are online, offline, if they are being attacked by any viruses, anything that we need to take action upon, it will be on our centralized overview application.

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

Pros

"With Sophos Home, it's easy to implement; you just log in and manage the various computers as to what you want to detect."
"The tool's most valuable feature is ransomware protection. Its integration with other Sophos security products is good, and the AI features have made it an efficient product."
"The product is easy to implement."
"The technical support is good. They are fast to respond and they have weekend support."
"McAfee protects your system from web viruses and other threats."
"The technical support is very good."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution protects the PC from malware attacks."
"Threat detection and prevention are the most significant features. It covers most of the data collected by sending it to McAfee by looking at the behavioral analysis, vulnerabilities, and such, and then it assesses the data with the threat intelligence in their analytical engine."
"Overall, the security is pretty good and I've been kept safe from viruses and dangerous websites."
 

Cons

"I expect an improvement with mobile integration. I want mobile devices to have better security, like Sophos Home's total security. Users often need to connect to a cloud platform to manage or change settings, which can be difficult. To improve this, providing minimal local settings could help users."
"For homeowners, determining ROI is challenging. With personal emails or maybe a few business emails, if you don't get hacked, then you're good."
"The solution could improve by making the dashboards better."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"The solution could always be cheaper."
"The security could always be better."
"Right now, nothing is missing from the solution."
"I'm happy with the solution but the pricing could be improved, it's very expensive."
"The cost could be lowered a bit."
"The console is not user-friendly and that's a bit of a turn-off."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"For McAfee, I think it's already paid until 2023 because it's added on with the Windows 10 license pricing from Dell. I had to pay it on the Dell website, which includes the licensing cost of Windows 10 and McAfee."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"It could be cheaper, but anybody would like a good product at a lesser price."
"There is a need to pay towards the licensing charges of the product on a yearly basis. The product is not way too expensive"
"We are on an annual license for the use of McAfee MOVE AntiVirus. The annual maintenance is built into the license."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"There is a license required to use this solution and my organization has purchased the license."
"McAfee MOVE AntiVirus can be an expensive solution, depending on the size and quantity."
