We are now implementing the policies by pushing the active directory policy and group policies on all the systems. The user access control on the particular systems and their antivirus upgrades are all features we have found to be of great importance.
McAfee Web Protection has been around for many years and the solution holds its ground as a product providing good accessibility and handling any overload very well. McAfee has developed new features similar to those found in other solutions; enabling seamless deployment, reducing the footprint on data centers, and making the solution more scalable, more resilient, and more reliable.

It doesn't seem to take too much system bandwidth, and I also like its reporting. Once a month, it gives me a reminder of the activity. It reminds me that the protection is on, and if there are any issues, it summarizes those minor issues. During the month, it only notifies when there is something special.
I'm not over-notified about things. When I get a notification from the McAfee system, it is really something that needs my attention.

My aim is to make sure that when I try to connect to a website, for personal or business reasons, I'm not taken to an unsafe site. Sometimes you are on a site with a connection to a document or something and the message pops up that it's unsafe. That's what I'm looking for in this solution and that's what I get. It's a good product.

The most valuable is the blocking of blacklisted sites, a URL that is, either by intelligence or by McAfee, detected as a malicious site.
View full review »McAfee Web Protection was a good tool because in the olden days when you had to use a proxy tool when browsing the internet. Today the logic has changed slightly, in the sense your protection's taken onto the cloud. You'll exit a predefined gateway on the cloud before your internet browsing happens and therefore you're secured.
