I was a customer and end-user. I recently retired. I'd warn new users that the initial configuration will be challenging, and if they run into trouble, they should reach out to McAfee as soon as they can, as sometimes it takes a while to resolve things. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
We were using the latest version of the solution. I'd warn new users to prepare for the interface, which is not user-friendly. I'd rate the solution six out of ten.
My advice to others is McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention is a good solution, it is expensive but if you look for a less expensive solution they are not ideal for the long term. MacAfee has a good roadmap ahead and they have added more features and have good support. I recommend this solution to others. I rate McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention a nine out of ten.
My advice to any organization is to support appropriate security levels because following Covid many people have moved to online work and that needs supporting on a security level. Companies should be working in a zero-trust environment. I rate this solution eight out of 10.
I would recommend McAfee Total Protection to others who may want to start using it because it's a good product. I'm rating McAfee Total Protection eight out of ten.

We're systems integrators. We aren't McAfee customers. I would recommend this solution to other companies. It's stable and strong in data loss prevention. It works quite well. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I'd rate the solution at a nine. If it offered more responsive support and better usability, It would get higher marks from me.
We're just customers. We don't have a relationship with McAfee. We're using the most up to date version of the solution. The EP is version 6.0.0.197 and the host edition is 8.0. The DLP endpoint version is 11.4.0.452. I would never recommend this solution to other organizations. I'd rate it four out of ten overall.

We were a service provider and reseller. We had the solution in a lab environment for about three weeks, so we weren't a longterm user of it. We had a client that had familiarity with other aspects of McAfee protection solutions, and they were looking to just expand it to get more into whitelisting. They wanted to use it as a stop-gap for the deficiencies in the other aspects of their technology. We were looking for it to provide protection against more advanced malware and unknown malware attacks. That's what we did in the lab environment. We tested it. I don't know which version of the solution we tested. I would advise other companies to take care of understanding the environment that the solution is going to deploy in. They need to be cognizant of the challenges with dynamic and heterogeneous environments, as it relates to how the technology is deployed and how easy it is to deploy and maintain. Finally, they should be wary of the limitations in the protection efficacy, as it relates to some of the most advanced types of malware attacks, where we found the product to be deficient in some areas. The biggest lesson we learned from using the solution was that there's a high expectation that as a company, McAfee implements this type of a solution to expand upon their solutions in the AV that they came from. What we've learned is that the step change in protection is not as great as we had hoped. The ability of it to stop the most advanced malware and other unknown types of attacks didn't live up to the expectations that were associated with a whitelisting solution. I'd probably rate the solution six out of ten. It's not a bad product. It has some deficiencies, however. We found other technological approaches that offered much higher efficacy in protection and were easier to maintain.
Advice that I would give to others looking into implementing this solution is the same as when our customers ask us for any kind of security solution. We almost always recommended that they go with McAfee. McAfee is a great choice for most cases. On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate McAfee Total Protection for Data as a nine out of ten. It is very good except for the resource drain.
My advice to anyone considering this type of data protection solution is that you need to choose a product based on your needs. There are so many products nowadays that do similar things and there are always newer tools and technologies emerging. I'd recommend that people not just take advice from the manufacturer or trust in internet reviews. They should test products out for themselves to be confident in what they choose. Use the trial versions to see how the product works for yourself and do a proof of concept before you decide on a solution and implement it. It would be good to try several products to be able to compare rather than just one. On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate the product as an eight out of ten.
