Featured Reviews

Alex Clerici - PeerSpot reviewer
Has good integration with other Sophos products and offers ransomware protection
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. The tool needs to improve its pricing. The current pricing is for medium and enterprise businesses, but it needs to improve for small businesses. The solution's support could also be improved, especially because local support often needs to interact with global support. This can make response times longer than expected.
Ashford Asante - PeerSpot reviewer
Centralized system, less stress on the network and runs smoothly
It functions like a standard antivirus – I scan, I get reports... it gets the job done as I configure it. Overall, I'm satisfied with McAfee MOVE Antivirus. I haven't experienced any compatibility issues so far. So, it also offers good integration capabilities with other tools. The quality of the reports depends on what you're looking for. They can be good, bad, or average. Overall, the reporting functionality is adequate.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"With Sophos Home, it's easy to implement; you just log in and manage the various computers as to what you want to detect."
"McAfee synchronizes security across the security fabric."
"The solution is easy to use."
"I have found McAfee MOVE AntiVirus more secure than other antivirus solutions."
"The installation is quite straightforward."
"One of the most valuable features is the performance. It's very stable."
"The most valuable feature is the security, which is very effective compared to other products."
"The solution is scalable."
"It loads quickly, and it doesn't affect the operating system or the customer's environment."
 

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."
"This solution is okay for users who are just office personnel. Developers or users who heavily use their laptops complain that it really slows down their laptops. Using this solution can be a big challenge from the performance perspective if you need a productive system that locally runs multiple VMs."
"McAfee MOVE AntiVirus needs to be made more secure, as it is one of the areas where the product lacks."
"One problem is that when you switch on the system, Windows 10 takes almost two to three minutes to get initiated and then McAfee adds on to it because it starts scanning automatically."
"The performance is not very good."
"This solution will consume more resources for the end users, which is an area for improvement."
"SentinelOne provides a cloud solution that McAfee MOVE AntiVirus should as well. When all other vendors come out with new features they are implemented by all the other vendors within a few months. However, this is not the case with McAfee MOVE AntiVirus. They should update their features more often to be more competitive with the market."
"The solution could be cheaper. they should work to lower their pricing. It's too expensive right now."
"It requires deployment of multiple agents for multiple jobs which is unnecessary."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Our subscription is yearly."
"The pricing is cheap."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"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."
"We are on an annual license for the use of McAfee MOVE AntiVirus. The annual maintenance is built into the license."
"The solution requires a license."
"The license fees are reasonable. It is a yearly licensing fee."
