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.

Improves security alerts and analysis with comprehensive insights
I would like to see improvements in the score consistency and accuracy. VirusTotal should add more details like those from competitors such as URL Void or Symantec URL Checker, which show the category of websites. The addition of a file selection option to analyze files would also enhance the service.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Take a look at the other McAfee products. It integrates with other products and vendors which is unique to other vendors."
"My advice to anybody who is researching this solution is that it is very good for a virtual environment, I have not found any bugs, it is scalable, and overall a very good product."
"McAfee MOVE AntiVirus was both stable and scalable."
"The installation is quite straightforward."
"We’ve used it for a long time and are happy with it overall."
"The technical support is good. They are fast to respond and they have weekend support."
"When my phone was stolen the solution enabled me to access my data so that I could take a screenshot of the person using my phone and have it sent to my email."
"It loads quickly, and it doesn't affect the operating system or the customer's environment."
"It is quite simple for anyone if they just want to check some suspicious URLs."
"The product is easy to use with coding, such as Python or Java, via its API."
"The most valuable feature is the worldwide malware information database."
"It allows us to see if there have been previous reports on certain indicators of compromise, providing insights from other security professionals."
"It provides detailed insights into possible malicious behavior, dropped files, and TCP connections."
"The feature I like the most is the ability to see the MD5 or SHA-256 signature of the file, and also the composition of the file according to its segments."
"It can scan the dark web and find if an email ID has been compromised. This is another area that we have not explored yet."
"With VirusTotal, I can check for any hash, malware, file, domain, IP URL, or malicious URL, and Kaspersky stays clean."
 

Cons

"The renewal process is difficult."
"The solution is stable but it could still improve."
"It uses a lot of your bandwidth and your memory. It makes your system slow."
"It's an expensive solution."
"We're currently looking to switch to a solution that offers cloud security because we want that integrated with the antivirus."
"The threat protection could be improved."
"We started using MOVE Antivirus because our security staff required it. And I personally haven't seen the difference because I haven't had any issues so far that McAfee addresses."
"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."
"There should be room for improvement, particularly in the API side of things."
"The platform could improve in the areas of endpoints and networks."
"VirusTotal needs better advertisement and promotion, especially in the Middle East, since it is not yet widely recognized or popular in that region."
"They can improve the telemetry. Whenever we handle a sample, they cannot provide any information about a victim."
"I would like to see improved correlation with other threat intelligence sources, not just reliant on its own database, to enhance the database of threat intelligence that VirusTotal offers."
"VirusTotal is hard to understand because you need to know Google Docs to create queries, and it doesn't have documentation for that."
"VirusTotal has predefined reports, but there is a lot of manual effort involved."
"I would like to see improvements in the score consistency and accuracy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution requires a license."
"There is a need to pay towards the licensing charges of the product on a yearly basis. The product is not way too expensive"
"It could be cheaper, but anybody would like a good product at a lesser price."
"The solution is not expensive."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and the price is very good. However, the price could be less expensive."
"The subscription for the solution is annually or every three years."
"The solution could reduce the price of the solution. We are on an annual license."
"McAfee MOVE AntiVirus can be an expensive solution, depending on the size and quantity."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"VirusTotal is an expensive solution."
"The pricing is very economical."
"We are using VirusTotal with free licenses, managing the license limits across three or four accounts, thus incurring no costs."
