McAfee MOVE AntiVirus Reviews

The solution protects the PC from malware attacks. It scans for viruses. It also warns me if a link appears to be fraudulent.

The core product is good.

The vendor is very pushy on some of the partner products. If we have McAfee installed, the search engine in my browser automatically becomes Yahoo, which I do not want. Every time, I need to change it back. The moment McAfee starts, it resets to Yahoo. It’s really a pain. I never asked for Yahoo to be my default search engine.

The product must stop pushing the wrong sort of upgrades all the time. They keep doing commercial upsells and partner promotions. The tool slows down the computer a little bit sometimes.

I have been using the solution for the last four to five years.

I rate the tool’s stability a nine out of ten.

In the past, I've used Norton. It is good. There isn't much difference between McAfee and Norton.

The setup is straightforward.

I can do the deployment myself. I just need to install it on my PC.

The solution is affordable. The license fee can be paid yearly.

I might recommend the product to others. Overall, I rate the product a six out of ten.

We use McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for protection from viruses.

McAfee MOVE AntiVirus was both stable and scalable.

McAfee MOVE AntiVirus’s initial setup was complex.

I have been using McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for approximately two years.

McAfee MOVE AntiVirus is a scalable solution.

I do use the solution's technical support sometimes.

At that time, there were only two programs, Symantec and McAfee. I feel McAfee was the better one.

We can deploy the solution within five to ten minutes when we have the EXE.

You need to pay for a yearly license for McAfee MOVE AntiVirus. The solution was expensive earlier, but now the rates are cheaper.

I would recommend McAfee MOVE AntiVirus to other users.

Overall, I rate McAfee MOVE AntiVirus an eight out of ten.

I use the tool sometimes because it is convenient to check viruses and malware attacks and keep a check on emails.

I like the product's anti-malware features. I think the product is easy to use and is stable. In Japan, many people use Trend Micro, but I use McAfee.

As an antivirus software that is sold in many countries abroad, the product needs to focus more on localization. McAfee MOVE AntiVirus needs to be made more secure, as it is one of the areas where the product lacks.

I have been using McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for two or three years.

There is no problem with the stability of the product.

It is a scalable solution.

I don't use the product's technical support because I work as a system engineer, and for me, it is not difficult to install or maintain. For some people, installing and maintaining the product may be difficult.

The product's initial setup phase is easy, but if McAfee is installed on other devices, such as smartphones, the installation can get a little bit difficult.

The solution can be deployed in an hour or two, but I can't remember the exact time.

I managed the installation of the product.

There is a need to make payments towards the licensing costs of the product, but it is not too much, in my opinion.

McAfee's support and prices differ from country to country. In Japan, if a user buys one McAfee software to use for a long time, it can be installed for multiple devices.

If someone wants to install a product for multiple clients, I suggest McAfee. In Japan, Trend Micro is preferred as it is convenient to use, and support is not so difficult to get since Trend Micro's head office is in Japan. For normal people, I suggest Trend Micro. If one person wants to install the product on many PCs, then I suggest McAfee.

I rate the overall tool a seven out of ten.

The most valuable features of McAfee MOVE AntiVirus are the auto-scans on the systems, and if it detects any virus, it will send out notifications or alerts. 

McAfee MOVE AntiVirus could improve by consolidating the dashboard of all the endpoints and proving real-time alerts.

I have been using McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for approximately two years.

The stability of McAfee MOVE AntiVirus is good.

McAfee MOVE AntiVirus is scalable.

I'm using the solution both at home and in the organization. At home, we have five people using it and in the organization, there are approximately 300. When we add more employees to the organization we will increase usage of the solution.

The support from McAfee MOVE AntiVirus is good.

I rate the support from McAfee MOVE AntiVirus a four out of five.

Positive

The initial setup of McAfee MOVE AntiVirus was straightforward. The deployment of the solution can be done within a week, and the implementation strategy was more to understand the endpoint.

We use a consultant that provided us with some help during the deployment of McAfee MOVE AntiVirus. We have approximately three to five administrators managing this solution.

We are on an annual license for the use of McAfee MOVE AntiVirus. The annual maintenance is built into the license.

I would recommend others to do due diligence and leverage the solution for their requirements.

I rate McAfee MOVE AntiVirus a nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for security and protection from viruses.

How it’s improved organization:

We haven’t had any problems with McAfee yet. It’s worked smoothly.

The product is easy to implement.

It is a stable, reliable solution with good performance.

The solution is reasonably priced.

It’s great at protecting users and won’t let any external devices come through. They can’t copy anything from the server.

Right now, nothing is missing from the solution. We are happy with it.

We've been using McAfee for as long as I've been with the company. That’s over three years since we've been using McAfee for our business plan.

The stability is good. We haven’t had issues. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn’t crash or freeze. It’s reliable.

It is a scalable product. It's on the server, and the other workstations are connected to that. The product itself will derive it from the server. It's protecting everything from the server, including all the other desktops.

We have about six users not eh solution currently. We do have plans to increase usage in the future.

We have in-house support with McAfee. That said, we haven’t had any problems. Once we installed it, then we had our typical IT department look at it. Everything is running well.

It's a straightforward setup. It's not complex.

It’s very fast to deploy. You can do it in three to five minutes. It’s very fast to set it up.

The solution is done in-house. It’s so easy. We didn’t need any outside assistance from a consultant or integrator.

We have a license directly with McAfee that we need to renew from time to time.

It isn’t overly expensive.

We use the standard version of the solution.

I’d recommend the solution to others. We’ve used it for a long time and are happy with it overall.

I would rate the solution nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for security as an antivirus. 

The security is adequate.

It's a flexible product. 

The solution is stable.

It can scale well.

The initial setup is simple. 

The performance is not very good. 

I've used the solution for a year or so. I haven't used it for that long. 

The solution is stable. It is reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. 

It is a scalable solution. 

We have more than 2,000 users on the solution. 

We have very good support from McAfee. We are satisfied with the level of service.

I'm also using Bitdefender. I'm using the home edition. 

The setup process is pretty straightforward. If it's a corporation, it can be a bit more complex. 

I'm not sure how long it takes to deploy. 

Two people are enough to handle the setup process. They typically are admins. 

Typically, the licensing is handled yearly. I'm not sure of the exact pricing. 

I'm a consultant. 

I'd recommend the solution to others.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten in general. 

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. 

I'm not using the solution for my personal purpose. I'm using it for my organization, where we are looking for some improvisation for the product.

The solution offers good protection. It provides helpful popups. 

It has an easy initial setup.

The solution is stable. 

The scalability is good.

The cost could be improved. 

I've been using the solution for about four years. 

The solution is stable. 

You need to make sure that you are updated with the latest database to search for the vulnerabilities so that you will have the best updates from McAfee regarding the latest threats on the internet. It will help ensure your security. 

When you are subscribed, you have the option to choose how many devices you want to use. You can choose the right options for your organization. 

I'm not sure how many people are on the solution, however, my understanding is that it is quite a few. I use it across my day-to-day activities and it's used extensively. 

I haven't used any tech support. We tend to get the latest updates to protect ourselves. However, if we need to, we can search the internet to keep updated on the latest trends in terms of vulnerabilities. If we see something worrisome, we'll patch and fix. 

I'm using AVG as well. 

The solution is not that complex. If it is someone with some experience, it'll be easy. The deployment itself won't take not more than half an hour.

I did the implementation myself. I did not use a consultant or an integrator.

The solution is a bit pricey. 

I have a yearly license. You can get some discounts. I went for a combo offer with my mobile and laptop having the connection. There's a subscription for that.

We want to try the different options which are available in the market. I'm doing some R&D to understand what the pros and cons are and looking for reviews from customers who are all currently using it to try to understand the challenges when we are using any other product available in the market.

I have not done a subscription or renewal recently. I am currently on an older version.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. I'd rate it higher, however, it is a bit expensive. 

The primary use case is for protection of personal information and internet safety. This is an individual system, so I'm the only one who uses it.

It's valuable for protection and internet safety.

The system could perform better and faster. The latest Windows, like 10 and 11, have the internal defenders available in the setup itself. It was pre-installed and it was available with the package itself. I didn't have to pay anything separately for that, so that's why I'm just keeping it as it is. Another problem is I can't delete it or I can only disable it, so when the self protective system is already in place, I don't think an additional antivirus is needed.

I've been using McAfee MOVE AntiVirus since 2020. It was pre-installed, so it was with the package of Windows 10. 

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. You need to manually pause it because it slows down the system drastically. As a combination with Windows 10, McAfee makes the system a lot slower.

With our company laptops, everything is pre-installed, and I think they are using Quick Heal in office. It's better because I don't get any popups or scanning messages. It sends the details to the respective department and they take the call, so I don't need to intervene in anything. Every two weeks or twice in a month, all the upgrades get notified. As upgrades get notified, I keep doing the updates for the office. It automatically gets updated for Windows 10.

I didn't have to do any installation. It came with a package, so everything was pre-installed in the system.

For McAfee, I think it's already paid until 2023 because it's added on with the Windows 10 license pricing from Dell. I had to pay for it on the Dell website, which includes the licensing cost of Windows 10 and McAfee.

I would rate this solution 5 out of 10 because of the lag that it produces in the system. As soon as you switch it on, it takes four to five minutes in addition to the lag Windows 10 causes due to the size of the operating system. With respect to protection it's fine, but with respect to the delay of speed, it's much slower.

I wouldn't recommend McAfee Move Antivirus for Windows 10. It has a self-defense mechanism available in the processor itself. In that case, why would you need a separate antivirus? It's not required. The Windows Defender is already available and it's more than capable for just browsing through applications and websites. It's more capable of defending the system from any malware or any virus from the net. So in that case, I feel that McAfee is not required.
