McAfee MOVE AntiVirus Primary Use Case
Since we're fully virtualized, it integrates seamlessly. We use the agent for deployment within the environment. Management is centralized, so updates, deployments, and reporting are done through the main console.
We have a lot of flexibility in scheduling and configuring how your antivirus operates, which determines how you receive reports and alerts. You can access those through Avaya meetings or directly in the console.

I have experience using this product. However, I haven't used it specifically since I moved to the Azure team. The reason is that when it was on desktops or on-premises servers, we used it to help customers.
For example, let's say their SQL Server was running and suddenly crashed. We would collect a memory dump and see that the McAfee driver was causing an unexpected integration check. So, we'd discuss with the McAfee team to see if the driver is signed and compatible with that specific system offering and if it's tested with the latest hotfixes we release.
We'd also check for any potential bugs in the antivirus filter drivers. That's how our relationship works with these antivirus vendor teams.
View full review »I utilize McAfee MOVE AntiVirus as a safeguard against harmful websites, which includes a web advisor feature that notifies me of potentially dangerous sites when I go online. This helps me determine whether or not to visit a particular website. In addition, I can perform a full computer scan if needed, and McAfee is also capable of scanning external devices such as USBs when connected to my computer.

When I'm getting some emails or something, they will be scanned, and the solution will be giving me an indication of whether any malware or anything is present. I can be warned before opening some attachments. It will do some scanning and provide some assurance that they have done that check so I feel protected. It's a good level of security.

Our primary use case of this solution—we've got what they call McAfee ePO—is for a centralized system that we use to manage all the other endpoints from the central point. It's for endpoint protection, but there are some other options that you can use, such as Web Control, Firewall, etc. This solution is deployed on-premise.

I primarily use the solution in order to protect my personal information.
Every once in a while, I get a message saying that the solution has completed a scan and no threats have been found. I'm not sure if it's my Microsoft antivirus or if it is McAfee, however, sometimes when I try to access a website, there's a message that says it's not safe to view the website and attackers might be trying to view the data. I'm not sure which one is doing it. McAfee or Microsoft, however, I do get these messages sometimes.

Technical Presales Consultant/ Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
I have been using this solution for six months. We use the private on-prem deployment model. Our primary use case is for clients who have big environments. For VDIs it's a nightmare to install security software to all of the VMs. It's a bottleneck for resource consumption and highers the data consumption costs. For example, let's say we have 1,000 VMs and we want to scan all of them with an agent-based solution, it eats up a lot of resources. A company offers agentless solutions, they prepare a VM and they scan the VMs without installing an agent. That VM will take care of the scan. McAfee MOVE minimizes a lot of the overhead.

We run it across the organization for protecting the individual work locations and workstations. It could be a laptop, desktop, or server. A client version of McAfee End Point Security is installed on each and every desktop or laptop.
It completely monitors all the traffic and downloads. It also scans the files that are configured to be scanned. For example, any audio files, MOV files, or large files that we download. All such files will go through the McAfee MOVE AntiVirus to ensure that the virus is not getting into our network and systems.
