Systems Architect at a educational organization with 1,001-5,000 employees
A stable solution with easy installation and good technical support
Pros and Cons
- "The solution is stable, which is why I have been using it for at least ten years, if not much longer."
- "It would be very helpful if a significant reduction in overhead could be brought about."
What is our primary use case?
What needs improvement?
As a general rule, I find many of the antivirus solutions to be intrusive when running. They consume a sizable amount of memory resources while they are loading. When it comes to working on one's laptop or desktop, many of these processes, initially, run when a machine boots up - something which prevents a person from accessing his mail or quickly accessing his work. It would be very helpful if a significant reduction in overhead could be brought about. Other than this, I would rate them as fairly good from a protection standpoint.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for at least the last ten years, although I believe I have been using it for much longer.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable, which is why I have been using it for at least ten years, if not much longer.
