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.

Cons

"I'm happy with the solution but the pricing could be improved, it's very expensive."

"We did not have a good experience with McAfee. I would not recommend them to others."
"The process of enabling drive encryption can be improved. It takes a long time to enable drive encryption."
"It's resiliency needs improvement."
"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 solution could be cheaper. they should work to lower their pricing. It's too expensive right now."
"Our only issue is performance. McAfee needs a plan to make that better."
"VirusTotal is hard to understand because you need to know Google Docs to create queries, and it doesn't have documentation for that."

"VirusTotal is an expensive solution."
"The pricing is reasonable."
