Offers a variety of plugins, is reasonably stable, and has fair pricing
Pros and Cons
  • "The extendability is great."
  • "The solution needs to work on memory consumption. It is too high."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for managed defense. It is a next-generation EDR, similar to Cylance and CrowdStrike. It's used for endpoint enforcement. 

What is most valuable?

It offers more plugins for endpoints in order to extend endpoint protection. There are a variety of plugin options.

The extendability is great. 

It is pretty stable.

The product is very scalable.

We find the pricing to be in line with the current market.

What needs improvement?

The solution needs to work on memory consumption. It is too high. EDRs are notorious for this. 

Technical support could be improved a bit. They are doing a lot with the acquisition and rebranding, and things may take a while to settle. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We've used the solution for 18 months. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable and reliable. It's just as stable as anything else on the market. This is a stable build. All of it does depend on the interaction with the Microsoft patches. Most of the time, the performance is quite good. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution scales well and has a lot of device plugins. I'd rate it a ten out of ten. You can do all kinds of things with it that you can't do with other endpoint protection options. 

How are customer service and support?

Technical support isn't ideal. It's not that it is awful; it's just not fantastic. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I'm also familiar with Cylance and CrowdStrike, which I've used at a different company.

How was the initial setup?

I wasn't involved with the initial setup. However, we have a top-notch implementation engineer. 

What about the implementation team?

We had the vendor's assistance, and we've always had an excellent experience using them. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I am not sure about the exact costs. However, my understanding is it is comparable to Crowdstrike. Like other solutions, the more endpoints you have, the less the cost. 

What other advice do I have?

We're customers. We're an international conglomerate. They are our vendor, and they are partners with us on our security journey. 

I'd advise people to use Managed Defense. It pays for itself. 

I'd rate the solution a solid eight out of ten overall.

A good solution that is stable and scalable with seamless deployment
Pros and Cons
  • "The seamless deployment is very valuable."
  • "The central monitoring dashboard needs improvement."

What is our primary use case?

We deploy the solution on-premises but we have the roadmap to migrate it on cloud. Initially, everything was on-premises, but we are moving to the cloud, which will be our first cloud migration.

What is most valuable?

The seamless deployment is very valuable.

What needs improvement?

The quality of the dashboard could be improved, and the central monitoring dashboard needs improvement. At first, we thought we were getting multiple views. One was a wholly summarized view, and the other was a more detailed view of an endpoint device. Digging into one device's detail is sometimes difficult. Additionally, the granularity of reporting can be improved. The next release could also include an extended mobile connection for the solution.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using this solution for approximately four months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. Maybe in another six to eight months, we will scale to around 5,500 because we are recruiting more people, so the number may increase.

How are customer service and support?

I have not had any experience with customer service and support.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We previously used Trend Micro. When we were deploying Trend Micro, we faced a lot of difficulties. When we acquired Trend Micro, we had no endpoint security so we had to remove an endpoint and deploy Trend Micro. As a result, deploying Trend Micro was very painful. There were frequent failures in the automatic script that Trend Micro had provided, and it took us about three and a half months to completely cover around 4,000 devices. At the same time, McAfee's deployment was seamless. There might have been an issue, but those issues never escalated. With Trend Micro, the issues escalated frequently.

We switched because of the distinction in scalability, Bluetooth and support. Additionally, one of the reasons we replaced Trend Micro was that we were raising a support ticket every month, which was embarrassing for us. We were losing five to seven tags. PSEs and the response to those PSEs were not satisfied every time.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I rate pricing and licensing a seven out of ten.

What other advice do I have?

I rate this solution an eight out of ten. The solution is good, but the dashboard quality and granularity of reporting can be improved.

It's a good solution , not the best. Email protection could be better.
Pros and Cons
  • "MVISION offers decent protection."
  • "The email protection isn't efficient enough, and I'd like to see DLP features in the next release."

What is most valuable?

MVISION offers decent protection.

What needs improvement?

The email protection isn't efficient enough, and I'd like to see DLP features in the next release. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using MVISION for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

MVISION is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

MVISION is scalable. 

How was the initial setup?

Setting up MVISION is easy.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We have an annual license and pay extra for support.

What other advice do I have?

I rate McAfee MVISION Endpoint six out of 10. It's a good product, but not the best. I wouldn't recommend it to others because it's not secure enough. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Simple implementation, stable, but priced high
Pros and Cons
  • "McAfee MVISION Endpoint is stable."
  • "The price of McAfee MVISION Endpoint could improve."

What is our primary use case?

McAfee MVISION Endpoint is used for endpoint protection. Protects the files and network against viruses and malware.

What needs improvement?

The price of McAfee MVISION Endpoint could improve.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using McAfee MVISION Endpoint for approximately one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

McAfee MVISION Endpoint is stable.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have previously used Check Point and Microsoft Defender. I would recommend Microsoft Defender over the other solutions I have used.

How was the initial setup?

The installation of the McAfee MVISION Endpoint was simple. We are able to do it remotely from a central location.

What was our ROI?

I have had a return on investment by using McAfee MVISION Endpoint.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We are on an annual subscription for McAfee MVISION Endpoint. The cost for the license could be less expensive.

Affordable and easy to set up with a great console
Pros and Cons
  • "We can manage everything from the central console and it is very easy."
  • "Some agents become old and then they don't communicate well any longer."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for security. Sometimes we try to shift to other security sites, however, whenever we compare this solution with the others, we found that McAfee developing in more dynamic ways.

What is most valuable?

It has a great console. We can manage everything from the central console and it is very easy. Every year we are getting the benefits of legacy also.

It's easy to set up.

What needs improvement?

Some agents become old and then they don't communicate well any longer. They need an update. They need to make sure that older agents on active computers communicate properly.

Sometimes the agents stop working, however, we cannot understand why. This is sometimes a problem, especially if some agent is not communicating for one month or two months. We're not sure if there's a backlog or if it got infected. We need to know right away if an agent has stopped working and possibly what has caused it to stop. 

They have a dashboard. In the dashboard, you can see if a signature is in backlog, and it becomes red. This is also required if new agents or some number of event communications stop. 

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution has been stable. there are not any bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is able to scale as required.

We have about 2,500 people using the solution. We have that amount of servers and PCs.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support has been great. They always help us to resolve any issues. We are quite satisfied with them. If they ever run into issues, they can also open up a ticket with the OEM. we've never had an incident where our issues weren't resolved.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Before I started with the company, it may have been using AVG. While I was not responsible for the shift, at the time I came on, the company was growing by quite a lot, which may have initiated the change in solutions. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very simple. It's not overly complex. We have two people who are able to handle its implementation.

It takes us about two weeks to set everything up.

I work with this solution and I have two junior colleagues. They also help me and we have an IT support team that assists as well. They are actually installing it into the new laptops and they actually sometimes take on basic troubleshooting. basically from the server end, I take care of it and I have two helping hands and we have 15 members in IT support. They provide support to the end-user.

What about the implementation team?

We have a vendor that helps us with the initial setup.

What was our ROI?

I have not been monitoring for ROI.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We pay for the solution on a yearly basis. 

It is affordable. I don't exactly know the amount as it is maintained by someone else on my team. We have another separate team that basically manages the financial part. 

What other advice do I have?

We are a customer and end-user. 

We always want it updated to the latest version.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

A strong, stable, and scalable solution with good support
Pros and Cons
  • "It is a really strong solution for endpoint security."
  • "There should be better integration between the ePolicy Orchestrator and FireEye console. The integration of both consoles should be better."

What is our primary use case?

We are using all Trellix solutions, and we are also using all McAfee products. Our customers are using virus scan for the old platforms, Endpoint Security, MVISION, File and Folder Encryption, File and Folder Protection, and Device Control, but at the moment, I am really interested in the integration between the new Trellix solution like MVISION and FireEye.

What is most valuable?

It is a really strong solution for endpoint security.

What needs improvement?

There should be better integration between the ePolicy Orchestrator and FireEye console. The integration of both consoles should be better.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for about six years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Its stability is perfect.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Its scalability is perfect. In our company, we have between 2,000 and 3,000 users, but our installation has about 50,000 endpoints for all customers.

How are customer service and support?

They're very good. I am in contact with their support about five times a day, and they respond quickly.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

It was easy. I have been using Trellix since the carbon age. I have been using Trellix since the day it was released.

Its deployment doesn't take long. 

What about the implementation team?

I customize every installation.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It is not so cheap in comparison to Sophos and other solutions.

What other advice do I have?

Make a really detailed survey of all the systems before implementing any solution on the endpoint. Do not buy the license and try deployment after that.

I would rate it a 10 out of 10.

A strong solution that would benefit from additional DLP features
Pros and Cons
  • "Would benefit with the addition of DLP features."
  • "There is room to improve with scalability."

What is our primary use case?

McAfee is a security-based company. All of their products are related to the security of networking. We have approximately 15 to 20 customers working with McAfee Endpoint Security.

What is most valuable?

McAfee Endpoint Security does not hang the machines. They are also not very heavy on the end-users.

What needs improvement?

Along with improving scalability, I would like DLP features to be added in to the endpoint security. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using McAfee Endpoint Security for almost 12 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is quite stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would give McAfee a 7 out of 10 for scalability, there is room to improve.

How was the initial setup?

The initial installation is not complex. It does depend on how big your network is, but normally it's one day's work.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I believe their prices are very good. Our customers pay an annual license fee.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

All of the endpoint security solutions have more or less the same kind of features. There is nothing exceptional about one product versus the other. McAfee is not as strong as other solutions like Kaspersky, Trend Micro, or Carbon Black.

What other advice do I have?

I would not discourage anyone from using McAfee Endpoint Security as it is quite a strong solution. I would rate the solution a 7 out of 10.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
