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.
Jaffar Ali - PeerSpot reviewer
Ensures continuous protection with real-time scanning of emails and mailboxes
ScanMail needs improvement in its reporting, as it is currently weak in some areas. Additionally, the response time of their technical support is slow and needs enhancement. Overall, Trend Micro's technical support has deteriorated, and pricing is another area that requires attention. The list pricing is high, and we lose deals against competitors because of this. Trend Micro should consider reducing their prices, especially for large customers.

"It can scale quite well."

"McAfee provides a console which is very flexible, usable and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of McAfee MOVE AntiVirus is the central management console. I can control everything from one place."
"I like real-time mobile protection. It's quite easy to use and efficient."
"The analysis part is good."
"The most effective feature of ScanMail is its real-time antivirus behaviors, particularly when it scans URLs."
"It does the job. Even when our clients have a very high rate of emails per second, there has been no problem."
"What I like the most about Trend Micro ScanMail is its easiness."
"Its integration with mail platforms is valuable."
"The most effective feature of ScanMail is its real-time antivirus behaviors, particularly when it scans URLs."
"I find Trend Micro ScanMail to be a stable solution, and I would rate its stability as nine out of ten."

Cons

"Overall, the solution could be better priced."
"Lacks virtual machines in the reporting."
"This solution could be improved by faster performance. If I have other processes running, McAfee slows my laptop down."
"In the next release, MOVE AntiVirus should include a file protection feature for mobile devices."
"It's resiliency needs improvement."
"I'd prefer more frequent updates."
"Scanning times could be reduced."
"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."
"The sandboxing part can be improved."
"Its user interface is pretty old-fashioned, and sometimes, it's hard to find the features that you are looking for. The user interface definitely needs some improvement."
"ScanMail needs improvement in its reporting, as it is currently weak in some areas."
"The weaknesses of Trend Micro ScanMail are that it doesn't fully protect ad-based web access and lacks proper security for Outlook, iOS, and web browser access."
"ScanMail was one of the best solutions a few years ago, but it is no longer the best solution because of its old-fashioned management console. Customers associate it with something that is old because there is no change in the management console. It has old icons, and it is not fresh enough. It is also not easy to use or play with. The report engine is also old-fashioned. Customers want something easier, quicker, and cleaner."
"The price could be better. I think it's pretty good compared to other solutions as far as the features are concerned. It basically covers most of the stuff which we require for email security. But it would be better if they made it a little cheaper and more cost-effective. That would make it easier for us to sell it."
"ScanMail needs improvement in its reporting, as it is currently weak in some areas."
"I believe there is room for improvement in better signatures, better reporting features, and more insight into the spam emails database."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing depends on the number of devices secured by this product."
"I have a student discount from McAfee MOVE AntiVirus. I paid approximately $16.00 for three years."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and the price is very good. However, the price could be less expensive."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"It could be cheaper, but anybody would like a good product at a lesser price."
"We have purchased an annual license to use this solution. The price of the solution could be lower."
"The solution is not expensive."
"It's a yearly subscription, but the price could be better."
"Its price is okay. It is not too high."
"It is an expensive solution. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
