McAfee Complete Data Protection Reviews

We use this solution for outfitting our customers.

We have a hybrid deployment.

We have many Complete Data products in versions 11.6 and 11.7.

Complete Data products have helped our organization. For example, some customers require that we have products with Bluetooth, pen drives, hard drives, and external and internal drives for logging into our organization.

All of the Complete Data products are valuable. We haven't had any issues.

We had to migrate and upgrade the DLP, and then customers were experiencing some unknown issues. We had to upgrade the Microsoft package on our system.

It's stable.

We haven't had any issues with scalability.

Initial setup was complex.

I would rate this solution as 10 out of 10.

The most important feature of McAfee Complete Data Protection to my customers is the ePO or the management console. It's easy to use and it's scalable. You can also generate the reports you want on the console. It's a mature management console. The features that McAfee Complete Data Protection has, for example, anti-spam features and other features can also be found on other solutions, but the most unique feature you can find in the solution is the ePO itself, the management console.

Though there may be some ransomware detection modules now in McAfee Complete Data Protection, it's a field that McAfee should focus on, particularly having integration with some EDR or other add-ons. This is so McAfee Complete Data Protection would have more accuracy in detecting new ransomware in the market.

What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is for its pricing to be more cost-effective because some competitors have cheaper pricing, so McAfee Complete Data Protection can't compete. Sometimes, some new vendors offer other solutions rather than McAfee Complete Data Protection, to win customers over, and this is a loss for McAfee.

I've been working with McAfee Complete Data Protection since 2010, so twelve years now. The most recent work I've done with the product was three or four months ago.

McAfee Complete Data Protection is mostly stable.

McAfee Complete Data Protection is a product that's easy to scale.

I got in touch with the support team for McAfee Complete Data Protection about certain cases such as enhancement inquiries, some bugs, and features that needed to be fixed, so I contacted the team many times. The support team was very helpful.

I'd rate McAfee Complete Data Protection support four out of five.

I find the initial setup for McAfee Complete Data Protection simple, but for someone who's just getting to know the solution, it would be difficult.

The cost of McAfee Complete Data Protection isn't that high but isn't that cheap as well, so it's in the middle.

For a fair comparison, I'd say McAfee Complete Data Protection is comparable to Symantec Endpoint Protection and CrowdStrike.

I'm a reseller of McAfee Complete Data Protection. My company has a partnership with McAfee.

Most of my customers, around 80 percent to 90 percent, deployed McAfee Complete Data Protection on-premises.

For a hundred users of McAfee Complete Data Protection, only one person is required for the maintenance of the product.

In my opinion, what makes McAfee Complete Data Protection better than other solutions is that it's comprehensive. You can manage different McAfee solutions from one console. For example, you can choose McAfee DLP, antivirus, endpoint protection, application control, and encryption solutions, then manage all via just one management console, so it's the strongest point of McAfee Complete Data Protection.

I'm rating the solution eight out of ten.

We are using it internally for the company.

We are using it for two things. One is for the disk encryption on the machines, on the laptops and the other is for USB protection.

I have found the USB part most valuable.

The disk encryption is great.

It is straightforward to set up.

The solution can scale well. 

The disk encryption can be improved.

They need to improve the performance of the USB protection module, which is where I'm seeing many issues come up. And for the hard disk encryption, they should have a much easier deployment method for different laptops and desktops. New customers should test it first. If a new customer, let's say, has a standardized set of laptops and desktops, then it is not a problem for them. However, if they have a variety of systems, they could have a problem. They need to improve the compatibility across different systems.

I've been using the solution for more than four years. 

I'd split the stability between the disk encryption and the USB protection parts of the solution. For USB protection, the stability has been very poor, actually, over the past year. It is more the end user systems utilization, CPU, or memory that is getting increased. Other than that, it's stable. 

It is not a challenge to scale as necessary. 

We have 20,000 people using the solution. That's end users across all roles. It's used by the entire organization, in essence. 

Right now, I have no plans to increase usage in the future. However, it'll all depend on how my user base increases. The solution would match any growth in my user base. 

We started with McAfee. It's been more than four years since I joined the organization - after the McAfee rollout started.

The solution is simple to set up and easy to implement. I'd rate the ease of implementation a four out of five. 

We were able to implement everything within three months. It wasn't overly difficult.

We did the implementation in-house. We did not need outside help. We didn't use integrators or consultants. 

I have witnessed an ROI while using the product.

The product features are meeting some of our very edge cases. We sometimes have a lot of edge cases that are one-off cases or which are unique in nature. The rich feature set of this product can meet those edge cases. 

We could deploy the product internally rather than use an external consultant, and it was fairly easy to deploy. That also gave us a return on investment rather than engaging with external partners. 

It's easy to manage, aside from issues around performance. That said, overall, it's easy to manage, and we can have an internal team manage rather than look for outsourced partners.

The licensing is based on a three-year contract.

I'm not aware of the cost itself. The price negotiation is done by a different team. I wouldn't have insight into the exact cost.

That said, my understanding is that it is competitive. I'd rate it 3.5 out of five in terms of affordability.

It has multiple components. I don't remember the exact version number we are on, however, we are on the latest version.

I would recommend potential new users do extensive testing with the latest version due to the stability or the performance issues we have seen in their latest versions. We are using the latest versions, and it is in the newer versions where we've seen performance issues. So test with the latest versions first and test on a variety of laptops and desktops.

I'd rate the solution five out of ten. 

It helps prevent my machine from hacking and wireless attacks.

It's easy to use, and so far, it's been successful for me.  I receive updates quite frequently.

It's user-friendly and has been performing well for me for the past five years.

The advanced threat prevention capabilities are pretty good; my laptop is well-secured.

The price could be improved.

I have been using it for five years now. 

I would rate its overall performance and stability an eight out of ten. I consider eight to be excellent, but there's always room for improvement.

I'm only using it on my laptop, and it's working fine.  

I've never had to reach out to the support.

The initial setup was easy. 

It worked for me: it's easy to use and has been very effective.

The return on investment is that my machine is safe. It's working well for me; no viruses, no unauthorized access.

The licensing is yearly, and the cost is pretty reasonable. I've only used the standard licensing options. I don't have to pay for the extra costs. 

It's not the cheapest; I'd rate it around six out of ten, with ten being the highest and one the cheapest.

I chose McAfee because it was referred to me by a friend.

I would recommend using it. Some of my relatives/colleagues are also using it because I recommended it.

In the five years I've used it, I haven't had any virus in my system.

Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten. It keeps evolving. As long as the threats are advancing, I believe McAfee will continue to update and advise us effectively.

We use the solution to manage all incoming and outgoing traffic of the user's laptop.

The solution has good monitoring and interface features for the DPM layer.

The solution's pricing could be better compared to Kaspersky Endpoint Security.

I have been using McAfee Data Protection for three to four years.

Stability-wise, the solution works properly.

I rate the solution's scalability an eight out of ten. We have 150 users in our organization.

The solution's customer support team's response time is good. We raise the ticket on a support portal and communicate with the technical team. They provide the best solution as soon as possible.

Positive

We have used Kaspersky Endpoint Security before. We switched to McAfee because of the pricing.

The solution is easy to manage, configure, and monitor. It also has a good UI. I rate it an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution to protect sensitive data and general protection.

The protection on offer is very good at protecting the organization. We can protect our assets and our IP.

The data protection has been very good. Customers like the product based on the amount of protection they are getting.

We can scale the solution.

It's a stable product.

The UI could be improved a bit.

Other than that, the solution has been very good.

I've used the solution for about a year. 

It's been stable and reliable so far. There aren't bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The solution is scalable. 

We've never escalated any issues to technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they would be. 

The solution has a moderately difficult setup. It's not easy or difficult. It's intermediate. We can deploy the product in 15 to 25 minutes on average.

At this time, I haven't noticed any necessary maintenance.  

I'm not sure of the exact pricing of the product.

We are using the latest version of the solution. 

I'd likely recommend the solution to others. It's a good place to start in terms of developing a security strategy.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

I use the MR services or active response, which scans actively on the machine.

Our compliance department understands that we need a secure environment free from viruses.

They need to segregate McAfee Complete Data Protection for endpoints and servers. We need two different platforms one for endpoints and one for servers. This will provide stronger security from a compliance perspective.

I have been using McAfee Complete Data Protection for a few years.

McAfee Complete Data Protection provides stability and is a good product.

After we deployed McAfee Complete Data Protection we found it scalable.

McAfee Complete Data Protection has a good technical support team.

Positive

We did switch to see what the latest in technology trends are now and evaluate them.

The initial setup was straightforward. In our case, we needed two individuals to deploy McAfee Complete Data Protection.

We had a dedicated team to complete our deployment. This deployment required a year to implement.  Larger organizations will take longer.

We currently have a contract option with McAfee Complete Data Protection.

I would recommend anyone interested in McAfee Complete Data Protection should do their own assessment. After they do their assessment then they can decide if the product is for them. I would rate McAfee Complete Data Protection a seven out of ten.

We have many clients in India using Complete Data Protection and host data protection. Complete Data Protection covers the network servers and endpoints. Okay. So with any species attachment scan with complete data production. Complete Data Protection was necessary to meet advanced customer requirements. We have around 2,250 users covered by Complete Data Protection.

Complete Data Protection lets us define roles in our data products. It helps us identify something suspicious on the client's device. 

Some clients still receive spam and malware in their attachments, so the data protection isn't working correctly. We have configured it and enabled the features in the client's system, but some policies have failed to work once or twice. 

I have been using McAfee for five years.

Data Protection is easy to set up. We have templates for data protection roles in each country. Once we configure the DLP roles, we deploy the agent, and the agent communicates with the EPU and the client's device. 

We have to configure the solution with the data protection role and customize it based on the customer's requirements. Finally, we test it to see if everything is working normally. Configuration takes about 30 minutes. 

I rate McAfee Complete Data Protection 10 out of 10.
