We can deploy all our configurations through the cloud
Pros and Cons
  • "We have a cloud-based instance, so we can deploy all our configurations through the cloud. That's the beauty of FireEye."
  • "Upgrading to new versions isn't easy and it can take a long time. Also, other solutions' tamper protection features are better than FireEye's. Clients should have access to our local information, but they shouldn't change settings on the system itself."

What is our primary use case?

FireEye replaces our traditional antivirus solutions like Symantec and McAfee and covers multiple business use cases, including EDR. 

What is most valuable?

We have a cloud-based instance, so we can deploy all our configurations through the cloud. That's the beauty of FireEye.

What needs improvement?

Upgrading to new versions isn't easy and it can take a long time. Also, other solutions' tamper protection features are better than FireEye's. Clients should have access to our local information, but they shouldn't change settings on the system itself. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I I have used FireEye for 10 months.

Provides good mobile device protection and it works on all platforms
Pros and Cons
  • "Provides good mobile device protection."
  • "The solution lacks device control."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use this solution as cover for mobile devices. I'm the manager of pre-sales and we are resellers and users of this solution. We are low-level partners of McAfee.

What is most valuable?

The solution provides good mobile device protection and it's great that it's on the cloud. The product is compatible and works for all platforms.

What needs improvement?

I'd like McAfee to include device control on MVISION. The solution currently lacks mobile device management. The cost of the solution is comparatively high and I'd like to see that reduced. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using MVISION for one year and working with McAfee solutions for the past 10 years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable for threat protection. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is very good. They are very knowledgeable and also happy to help out. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is easy and very straightforward. 

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

There's a USD$1,500 supported annual subscription fee that includes maintenance for anywhere between 51 and 100 users. It's USD$30 per users which I think is quite expensive. 

What other advice do I have?

It's important to be clear about your use case and environment before purchasing this solution. 

I rate this solution eight out of 10.

User friendly, easy to set up, and provides good support
Pros and Cons
  • "What I like most about McAfee MVISION Endpoint is that it's very user-friendly. You do need some knowledge on how to navigate the portal, but as soon as you've gained that knowledge, navigation will no longer be an issue. I have no complaints about McAfee MVISION Endpoint. For me, the product is perfect the way it is. It's great right now, and it's doing good as it is."
  • "So far, McAfee MVISION Endpoint ticks off all of our boxes, but its pricing could always be better."

What is our primary use case?

We're using MVISION Endpoint for the protection of our endpoint devices.

What is most valuable?

What I like most about McAfee MVISION Endpoint is that it's very user-friendly. You do need some knowledge on how to navigate the portal, but as soon as you've gained that knowledge, navigation will no longer be an issue.

I have no complaints about McAfee MVISION Endpoint. For me, the product is perfect the way it is. It's great right now, and it's doing good as it is.

What needs improvement?

So far, McAfee MVISION Endpoint ticks off all of our boxes, but its pricing could always be better.

For how long have I used the solution?

I started using MVISION Endpoint last year. It was preceded by the MVISION ePO.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

McAfee MVISION Endpoint is a stable product.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

McAfee MVISION Endpoint has no issues in terms of scalability. You just need money to make scaling up possible.

How are customer service and support?

The support for McAfee MVISION Endpoint is okay. I have no complaints about it.

On a scale of one to five, where one is bad and five is good, I would rate support for the product as four out of five.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup for McAfee MVISION Endpoint is pretty easy.

What about the implementation team?

We used a consultant for the deployment of McAfee MVISION Endpoint.

What was our ROI?

I don't have information on ROI from McAfee MVISION Endpoint because a separate unit takes care of those calculations.

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

Pricing for McAfee MVISION Endpoint is not very good, and I would rate its cost three out of five, though I won't be able to mention how much its actual price is.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

There were other solutions in use, but that was before I joined my department, so I don't know which solutions were used before my company went with McAfee MVISION Endpoint.

What other advice do I have?

I have some experience with McAfee MVISION Endpoint, and I'm currently using it. I can't remember the exact version of the solution which I'm using, but it's the latest version.

My company is a customer of McAfee MVISION Endpoint.

My company is a telco, so I don't have the exact user count, but it's surely more than a hundred. All roles within my company use the product, even people at the highest levels.

At the moment, there's no plan to increase usage of McAfee MVISION Endpoint within the company.

My advice for people looking into implementing McAfee MVISION Endpoint is to use the demo, roll it out within your organization, utilize its functionalities, and let it work for you.

In terms of rating, I'm giving McAfee MVISION Endpoint a solid eight because it does what's needed and it works, so no complaints.

Great containment feature and very user-friendly GUI
Pros and Cons
  • "A great console with a user-friendly GUI."
  • "Search feature could be made more user-friendly."

What is our primary use case?

The solution enables me to monitor all my endpoints and ensure that our agents are reporting to the FireEye management server. That is key for allowing us to see any suspicious traffic coming in. I'm the delivery manager and we are customers of FireEye. 

What is most valuable?

I like the console and the GUI is user-friendly. One of the most important and critical features is containment. Suppose something gets infected and there's the possibility of it spreading laterally and causing a problem or compromising a network. FireEye has a feature that enables it to disconnect from a system network so that the infection doesn't spread. 

Even if an incident occurs at night when support teams are not available, the feature can contain the infection so that when the support teams get to work, they can carry out the remediation part and bring the system back to production.

What needs improvement?

I'd like to see the searches enhanced because when I hand over the product to someone without experience, it should be user-friendly to them as well. If the feature was enhanced, and the amount of data that comes in reduced, it would simplify the process for anyone. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this solution for two years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I haven't had any issues with scalability. 

How are customer service and support?

The support is pretty good, we haven't had any problems. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

We had a separate team implementing FireEye and there didn't seem to be any issues so I think deployment was relatively straightforward. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I prefer FireEye to solutions like CrowdStrike, Carbon Black, and Trend Micro which are not as user-friendly. FireEye is also easier to integrate with the SIEM, so all the logs get pushed and there are no issues getting the device integrated with SIEM. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate this solution nine out of 10. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Good solution offering containment and the ability to triage agent activities
Pros and Cons
  • "The features we have found most valuable have been containment as well as the ability to triage agent activities."
  • "The way that signatures work when using this solution could be improved. They could be more user friendly. We would like the ability to select a client's signature from a menu or file share to save time."

What is most valuable?

The features we have found most valuable have been containment as well as the ability to triage agent activities.

What needs improvement?

The way that signatures work when using this solution could be improved. They could be more user friendly. We would like the ability to select a client's signature from a menu or file share to save time. 

FireEye allows three releases per day which are automated. If the automation fails for some reason, the release fails. FireEye does not allow manual releases. This is why we are moving away from using this solution. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This is a stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This is a scalable solution. 

How are customer service and support?

The customer service is good. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

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

I have previously used Symantec at a different company. I think Symantec is the best solution overall. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was quite complex. It took three months for us to roll out the solution. 

What other advice do I have?

The suitability of FireEye for a business depends on the business itself. 
I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

Pros and Cons
  • "I have not received any complaints about the performance."
  • "I would like to see more local integration for the applications that we use."

What is our primary use case?

All endpoint-related activities for which the company has a charter.

What is most valuable?

In my opinion, it's a pretty good product.

I have not received any complaints about the performance.

What needs improvement?

I would like to see more local integration for the applications that we use. We are looking forward to having more unified management.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using McAfee MVISION Endpoint for one year. We have recently implemented it.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

McAfee MVISION Endpoint has been stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have not yet scaled it, but I believe that it is scalable.

Our organization has 7,000 users.

How are customer service and support?

I'm not sure if the technical teams have done so, but I haven't contacted technical support.

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

We are using Cisco Umbrella, as well as McAfee.

How was the initial setup?

Our own team performed the installation. I didn't hear any complaints, so I guess it's pretty simple.

To deploy and maintain, we have a team of two administrators and one manager.

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

It is based on an annual subscription.

What other advice do I have?

I would definitely recommend McAfee MVISION Endpoint because it is cloud-based app management and requires little maintenance.

I would rate, McAfee MVISION Endpoint, an eight out of ten.

A comprehensive solution that comes with a lot of protection features and does its job
Pros and Cons
  • "The package of protection that it provides is useful. It has antivirus, malware protection, VPN, and a whole bunch of other features."
  • "They can make it free, but that's not going to happen."

What is most valuable?

The package of protection that it provides is useful. It has antivirus, malware protection, VPN, and a whole bunch of other features.

It is just there in the background and does its job. Every once in a while, it reminds me that it is doing its job.

What needs improvement?

They can make it free, but that's not going to happen.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for about a year. It seems to be the current version.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

So far I have no issues. It is very stable, and does not tale a lot of CPU or memory resources, which was a problem in older products.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I am using it on a personal computer, so scalability is not an issue.

How are customer service and technical support?

I have not used their support.

How was the initial setup?

Its setup is very easy and straightforward.

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

Its price is reasonable. Setup was easy.

What other advice do I have?

I would advise others to get the most comprehensive protection that they can. For me, it meant McAfee, but there are other good solutions around.

I would rate McAfee Endpoint Security an eight out of 10.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Easy to use, stable, and not heavy on system resources
Pros and Cons
  • "FireEye Endpoint Security is easy to use and lightweight compared to others."
  • "Most of these types of solutions including others, such as Carbon Black and FortiEDR, all have the same features. However, Carbon Black is the leader when it comes to being robust and user-friendly and this solution should improve in those areas to stay more competitive."

What is our primary use case?

We are using this solution for endpoint security against cyber attacks.

What is most valuable?

FireEye Endpoint Security is easy to use and lightweight compared to others.

What needs improvement?

Most of these types of solutions including others, such as Carbon Black and FortiEDR, all have the same features. However, Carbon Black is the leader when it comes to being robust and user-friendly and this solution should improve in those areas to stay more competitive.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using FireEye Endpoint Security for a couple of months.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This solution is scalable. However, it could improve to be able to be handle large-scale operations. The OS most systems are running I am not sure it can handle a lot of nodes but many companies are coming out with cloud options that should be able to manage much more nodes.

How are customer service and technical support?

Technical support can take some time to respond on the first level. They could improve the speed at which they resolve and handle support.

What about the implementation team?

We have an administrator and engineer that does the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I have evaluated Carbon Black and FortiEDR.

What other advice do I have?

I would not recommend this solution to others. However, if you have a small budget then this solution could be a second option.

I rate FireEye Endpoint Security an eight out of ten.
