Allows me to install an unlimited number of devices for antivirus and firewall capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "The installation is quite straightforward."
  • "The solution provides security on my laptops vis-a-vis their use in my home by my teenage children."
  • "Overall, the solution could be better priced."
  • "I pay for the licensing on an annual basis."
  • "Overall, the solution could be better priced."

What is our primary use case?

The solution provides security on my laptops vis-a-vis their use in my home by my teenage children.

The solution has antivirus capabilities for providing protection and eliminating potential threats. It also provides protection through a firewall. I use the True Key feature to store usernames and passwords and highly secure passwords can be generated automatically. 

What is most valuable?

I was looking for an agreement with which I am familiar, due to the increasing number of devices, mobile phones and tablets involved. 

What needs improvement?

Overall, the solution could be better priced. When it comes to the number of licenses which I need in relation to the number of devices that I have in my home, things could be cheaper. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I believe I have been using McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for two or three years, as I have a subscription by which all the laptops of my family are under the same contract. We have four or five laptops at home. 

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

Around three years ago I used Avast. 

While my current plan allows me to install an unlimited number of devices, I found the Avast licensing plan to be insufficient. 

How was the initial setup?

The installation is quite straightforward.

Taking into account the need to restart the computer, the initial installation takes five minutes. 

We have the solution installed on four devices. 

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

The overall pricing could be improved. 

I pay for the licensing on an annual basis. 

What other advice do I have?

I make use of the solution for personal use.

I would recommend this solution to others. 

I rate McAfee MOVE AntiVirus as an eight out of ten.

Excellent for endpoint security, providing great protection
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution works well for endpoint security."
  • "In general, the solution provides good protection, it works well for endpoint security."
  • "Lacks cloud security integrated with the antivirus."
  • "We're currently looking to switch to a solution that offers cloud security because we want that integrated with the antivirus."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case is to protect all the computers in the company; the websites, files and emails our employees use. I'm responsible for IT and we are customers of McAfee. 

What is most valuable?

In general, the solution provides good protection, it works well for endpoint security. 

What needs improvement?

We're currently looking to switch to a solution that offers cloud security because we want that integrated with the antivirus. We're looking for something that's more sophisticated and integrated.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this solution for over six years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We haven't had any issues with stability. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have 10 employees in the company and no problems with scaling. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is easy, you just download the software program and install. It can be done very quickly. 

What other advice do I have?

This is a great tool but now that people are working from home we're looking for something better because what we have now just protects the endpoint and we'd like to have better email and cloud security. 

The solution no longer meets our needs but it's a very good product and I rate it a nine out of 10.

  • "It uses a lot of your bandwidth and your memory."
  • "It uses a lot of your bandwidth and your memory. It makes your system slow."

What is our primary use case?

It is useful in detecting any issues on the internet, and security issues.

What is most valuable?

I like that it keeps my systems secure.

It's a good product.

What needs improvement?

It uses a lot of your bandwidth and your memory.

It makes your system slow.

I have been using this solution for approximately nine years.

We are using the latest version.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's a scalable solution. In my previous organization, they used it with 50,000 to 100,000 users.

How are customer service and technical support?

I have never required the support. I don't think that there is support for personal use. If you go the endpoint protection in the enterprise, they definitely require support. This is something that the IT team does.

I am sure that McAfee has a good support team.

How was the initial setup?

The installation was straightforward.

It should be deployed in half an hour, depending on how long it takes to download in your network.

What about the implementation team?

I completed the installation myself.

There is no monthly fee. You just purchase the tool.

I plan to continue using this solution for my personal use.

I would rate McAfee a nine out of ten.

An effective security product that is lightweight and works well for virtual environments
Pros and Cons

  • "My advice to anybody who is researching this solution is that it is very good for a virtual environment, I have not found any bugs, it is scalable, and overall a very good product."
  • "The dashboard should be improved, as a more user-friendly version is required."
  • "The dashboard should be improved, as a more user-friendly version is required."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use this solution to prevent virus attacks from outside of the organization.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the security, which is very effective compared to other products.

The resource utilization is very low, not consuming the same level of resources as Symantec.

What needs improvement?

The dashboard should be improved, as a more user-friendly version is required.

For how long have I used the solution?

We did not face any issues when we built up our infrastructure and increased our workload, so it is scalable. We have approximately 500 servers that it is deployed on.

How are customer service and technical support?

When you first contact technical support, they simply show you articles. It is only after it is escalated that a person joins the call.

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

Prior to McAfee, I had used a similar solution from Symantec. I found that it was much more resource-intensive, although it was more user-friendly.

How was the initial setup?

The complexity of the setup depends on the environment. We have multiple installations and in some cases, it is simple, whereas in others it is complicated. It took us between two and three months to deploy.

What about the implementation team?

We had a third-party to assist with the deployment.

We have two or three people in our company who handle maintenance.

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

The licensing fees are billed on an annual basis.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We trust McAfee and as such, we did not evaluate other options.

What other advice do I have?

My advice to anybody who is researching this solution is that it is very good for a virtual environment. I have not found any bugs, it is scalable, and overall a very good product. My only complaint is about the user interface.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Pros and Cons

It does good scanning to ensure I do not have any viruses.

It is stable and reliable.
