The initial setup was a positive experience.

Stable and easy to set up but needs to add more filtering capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is very stable and reliable."
  • "The solution needs to be more secure."

What is our primary use case?

I primarily use the solution for the security features on offer. I use it to protect my Windows system.

What is most valuable?

The solution is very stable and reliable. 

The installation is very easy and the deployment is very fast. It doesn't take a lot of time to get up and running. 

What needs improvement?

The solution needs to be more secure. If they can continue to improve the level of protection it offers, it would be a better product.

They need to offer more spam filters or integrate more features for controlling junk. They need to be able to filter during browsing. That would help make the solution more secure.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been using the solution for about four or five years at this point. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable. I haven't had any issues with it. There are no bugs or glitches. it doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I cannot speak to how scalable the solution is. I haven't used it in a way that would require scaling and therefore have never experimented with expanding it beyond what I need right now. 

I just use the solution myself, for personal use.

How are customer service and technical support?

I've never had to contact technical support. Therefore, I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they would be. 

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

I tend to use McAfee and Symantec for my security solutions. I use them both to protect my systems. 

A long time ago, I used Norton Antivirus.

How was the initial setup?

The initial implementation is straightforward and simple. It's not overly complex or difficult.

The deployment itself takes maybe five to ten minutes. It's very fast. You are up and running in no time.

What about the implementation team?

I am able to handle the setup and deployment myself. I don't need to rely on an integrator or consultant. The process is easy.

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

You do need to pay a license fee in order to use the product.

What other advice do I have?

I have the solution on my personal laptop. The solution automatically updates and therefore I never need to check what version I'm on to make sure it's the latest.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. If it offered better protection, I would rate it higher. 

I might recommend this solution to other users and organizations.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

Stable and easy to install but ends up slowing down machines
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution offers good stability."
  • "The solution is very easy to install and deploy."
  • "The performance is poor."
  • "The performance is poor. It slows down my PC when it starts running."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the product as an antivirus. It's for security. We use it specifically for PC protection. We primarily use the product within our enterprise. 

What is most valuable?

The solution offers good stability.

The installation process is easy.

What needs improvement?

The performance is poor. It slows down my PC when it starts running. It takes up a lot of energy on the system.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been using the solution for a long time. It's likely been years at this point. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

While the solution is stable, in that there are no bugs or glitches, it does tend to make my PC run very slowly when it initiates scans. It takes up a lot of energy on the system and slows everything down. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution doesn't scale within the parameters of my PC. I just use it for my personal computer. 

How are customer service and technical support?

I've never directly dealt with McAfee. In the two instances I have had issues, I contacted my own internal technical support team. I'm not sure who they would reach out to if they had issues they couldn't solve. However, from my perspective, I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive the McAfee team is, as I've never talked with them. 

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

I've never been provided with any other antivirus. This is the only antivirus that my company has offered to me. 

How was the initial setup?

The solution is very easy to install and deploy. A company shouldn't have any issues with handling the setup process. It's not complex. It's quite straightforward. 

My understanding is that setup only takes a few minutes and normally when we get the laptop with it pre-installed. As users, we only experience the update process. The update doesn't take that much time.

What about the implementation team?

The product comes pre-installed on our machines. 

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

We have an enterprise license, however, I do not handle the details. I cannot speak to the exact cost. That's handled by someone else in the company. 

What other advice do I have?

The solution tends to automatically update itself, and therefore, we are always on the latest version. However, I cannot speak to the exact version number. I'm not sure if it's on the cloud or on-premises. It just seems to work in the background and take care of itself. 

I'd rate the solution at a six out of ten. It's an okay security solution, however, it really affects the performance of my machine. 

I'm not sure if I would be able to recommend the solution, as I have no sense of what else is on the market.

Stable with good web filtering and quite secure
Pros and Cons
  • "We have found the solution to be very secure, we have never been breached, and the performance is great since it doesn't cause any issues while browsing or using any files or anything."
  • "It would be ideal if the product could offer more integration."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the product for protecting our personal information and our business as well as internet protection. We put up some filters, and, based on that, it filters out the flagged information.

What is most valuable?

The solution offers very good web security and filtering.

The stability of the product is excellent. It's a great aspect of the solution.

The performance is great. The solution doesn't cause any issues while browsing or using any files or anything. It's very strong.

We have found the solution to be very secure. We have never been breached.

The initial setup is easy.

We've found the updates to be very helpful.

What needs improvement?

It would be ideal if the product could offer more integration.

The solution could always be more secure. The more energy they put into security, the better it is for us. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution since I joined my current company. I've used it for about four years or so at this point. It's been a while.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability of the product is great. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. Its performance is reliable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Everyone in our organization is using the solution. It's on everyone's laptop. We have about 25,000 employees.

How are customer service and technical support?

I've never been in touch with technical support. We do have our own internal IT team we would turn to if we ran into issues, however, I've never actually had any issues to speak of.

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

We did not previously use a different solution. 

How was the initial setup?

The solution is installed on our machines. I was not a part of the process of putting it there, however, my understanding is that it is easy to implement.

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

I don't have any visibility on the licensing process or how much the solution costs. It's not part of my responsibilities. 

What other advice do I have?

I'm not sure which version of the solution we are using, however, everyone has it installed on their laptops. My understanding is that it is up-to-date.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten overall. We've been quite pleased with its capabilities over the years. We feel very safe.

Provides a flexible and user-friendly console
Pros and Cons
  • "McAfee provides a console which is very flexible, usable and user-friendly."
  • "McAfee drive encryption does not work very smoothly."

What is our primary use case?

I use McAfee antivirus, DLP, drive encryption. I use it for its anti-malware features. 

What is most valuable?

The solution works fine. Its processing of the hardware resources on my clients' computers do not take long. McAfee provides a console which is very flexible, usable and user-friendly. Sophos, too, is user-friendly. The solution has deep learning threat-hunting-like ransomware protection. This is why I like both of these products. 

What needs improvement?

McAfee drive encryption does not work very smoothly. While I make use of it, I have found that it does not work properly on the machine. Along the way it tends to get corrupted and this can happen on certain drives. I know there are many issues worth mentioning, although I am hard pressed to come up with specific ones at the moment. In respect of hardware resources such as RAM, there is also a need to improve the antivirus features. 

Deep learning, machine learning should be added as a feature. Ransomware protection should be updated for the latest ransomware extension. By comparison, Sophos has many new features, such as deep learning in XDR. McAfee needs to be improved so that its features can compete with those of Sophos, such as threat hunting, threat analysis and an additional lockdown feature for the server. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for two years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution has good scalability. 

How are customer service and technical support?

VMcAfee technical support is very good. The first thing which must be done is to log a case, at which point we must wait one to two hours at times, something I find time consuming. 

Overall, though, the support is very good, although Sophos' is comparatively better. 

How was the initial setup?

Installation is definitely very easy. At the moment, we are making use of the cloud consoles, so there is only a need to register one's email ID and password, which will provide access to the console. 

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

As my role is technical in nature, I am not in a position to comment on pricing. 

What other advice do I have?

The solution is both cloud-based and on-premises. 

McAfee is the way to go for someone who only is interested in using DLP and antivirus. It will also allow a person to use the device controller. Sophos makes available the use of full DLP. However, one must use Symantec for drive encryption, which is very good. 

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

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."

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.

Secure, scalable, and stable
Pros and Cons
  • "It's my understanding that the initial setup isn't too difficult."
  • "Overall, the security is pretty good and I've been kept safe from viruses and dangerous websites."
  • "The solution could be more secure."

What is our primary use case?

I primarily use the solution in order to protect my personal information.

Every once in a while, I get a message saying that the solution has completed a scan and no threats have been found. I'm not sure if it's my Microsoft antivirus or if it is McAfee, however, sometimes when I try to access a website, there's a message that says it's not safe to view the website and attackers might be trying to view the data. I'm not sure which one is doing it. McAfee or Microsoft, however, I do get these messages sometimes.

What is most valuable?

The solution is scalable.

The stability is good.

It's my understanding that the initial setup isn't too difficult.

Overall, the security is pretty good and I've been kept safe from viruses and dangerous websites.

What needs improvement?

The solution could be more secure.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution since I got my laptop, which was about four years ago now. It's been a while.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product has been very stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. Its performance is reliable so far.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

While it's my understanding that the solution can scale, I only use it for myself at this time. I don't have plans to expand it beyond personal use.

How are customer service and technical support?

I've never had a need to reach out to technical support. There haven't been any issues with the product. Therefore, I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are.

How was the initial setup?

I can't speak to the process surrounding the initial implementation and deployment. It was already there. It just came with the laptop. I don't remember the setup process, however, it must have been fairly easy to do it if I have it on the laptop.

What about the implementation team?

I can't speak to if there was a vendor team used to deploy the product as it was just on my laptop when I received it.

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

You do have to pay for a license. You need to renew it yearly.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I didn't evaluate any other antivirus options. This is the only product I really know.

What other advice do I have?

I am still using the solution. I get messages saying I have to reactivate it, however, I have not done that.

I'm not sure which version of the solution I'm using. Currently, I just use it myself, for personal protection. I'm an end-user and customer.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten at this time. It's been very good in terms of its capabilities so far. 

I would recommend it to other users and companies.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
