Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.

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.

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.

Senior Technology Specialist at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Reliable with good notifications and decent protection
Pros and Cons
- "It provides helpful popups."
- "The cost could be improved."
What is our primary use case?
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.
How has it helped my organization?
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.
What is most valuable?
The solution offers good protection. It provides helpful popups.
It has an easy initial setup.
The solution is stable.
The scalability is good.
What needs improvement?
The cost could be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for about four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
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.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
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.
How are customer service and support?
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.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I'm using AVG as well.
How was the initial setup?
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.
What about the implementation team?
I did the implementation myself. I did not use a consultant or an integrator.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
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.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
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.
What other advice do I have?
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.

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.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
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.
How are customer service and support?
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.
How was the initial setup?
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.

Good for protection but causes lag in the system
Pros and Cons
- "It's valuable for protection and internet safety."
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
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.
What is most valuable?
It's valuable for protection and internet safety.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using McAfee MOVE AntiVirus since 2020. It was pre-installed, so it was with the package of Windows 10.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
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.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
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.
How was the initial setup?
I didn't have to do any installation. It came with a package, so everything was pre-installed in the system.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
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.
What other advice do I have?
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.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price point could be a bit better.
What other advice do I have?
We've only really used this solution in a POC capacity, and therefore I don't have much advice to instill to other potential users.
