The solution protects the PC from malware attacks, but sometimes it slows down the computer a little bit
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution protects the PC from malware attacks."
  • "The tool slows down the computer a little bit sometimes."

What is our primary use case?

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

What is most valuable?

The core product is good.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

It's a flexible product. 

The solution is stable.

It can scale well.

The initial setup is simple.

The performance is not very good.

A stable product needs to be made more secure
Pros and Cons
  • "There is no problem with the stability of the product...It is a scalable solution."
  • "McAfee MOVE AntiVirus needs to be made more secure, as it is one of the areas where the product lacks."

What is our primary use case?

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

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

There is no problem with the stability of the product.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution.

How are customer service and support?

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.

How was the initial setup?

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.

What about the implementation team?

I managed the installation of the product.

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

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

What other advice do I have?

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.

Effortless implementation, highly compatible, and priced well
Pros and Cons
  • "The most beneficial aspect of McAfee MOVE AntiVirus is its compatibility. I have heard from friends that it is more adaptable than other antivirus programs, particularly for those using different operating systems, such as Mac OS. This cross-platform compatibility is a valuable feature of McAfee MOVE AntiVirus."
  • "The user interface of McAfee MOVE AntiVirus could benefit from some improvements. The excessive pop-ups can be bothersome, particularly when sharing my screen online, as I often get interrupted by the notifications. While I understand there is an option to disable these pop-ups, I feel that it should be disabled by default. Although I appreciate the overall design of the graphical user interface, the constant interruptions detract from the user experience."

What is our primary use case?

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.

I am using this solution for personal use.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

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

I used another similar solution prior to McAfee MOVE AntiVirus.

How was the initial setup?

Setting up McAfee MOVE AntiVirus was simple. Once I purchased the solution and obtained the license key, all I had to do was download the software and enter the license key to complete the setup process. Overall, I found the setup to be quick and effortless. The length of time it takes to complete the implementation depends on the internet speed but if you have a fast download it can be done in five minutes.

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

I have a student discount from McAfee MOVE AntiVirus. I paid approximately $16.00 for three years.

What other advice do I have?

I would advise others to keep track of when their solution expires. It is important to keep your solution up to date. If it is not up to date you can be vulnerable to threats, such as spyware.

I rate McAfee MOVE AntiVirus a nine out of ten.
