There is a real need to make sure all the updates and improvements are in order to keep the security at top performance to continue defeating threats that come daily.

Our issue is that the endpoints are lightweight agents, eating too much of the host resources.

I'm not sure if the solution itself is cloud-based or not. If it isn't they really need to begin to develop that out a bit. There aren't any missing features. It does what I need it to do.

In McAfee Web Protection there are gaps in the security design, in the overall architecture, the gaps need to be fixed. McAfee Web Protection doesn't give you a unified tool, which I will install the Web Inspector on my laptop and everything is taken care of. There are other components you need to purchase, without additional features your protection circle is not closed up. It will start working better if you are integrating it with your endpoint security on McAfee. When using McAfee Web Protection at full scale, you must have what McAfee calls a CASB solution, a client access security broker. If this is in place your entire system security is good, otherwise, there are loopholes for vulnerabilities.

The True Key version for mobile phones should be improved. The password manager is not as seamless as on the desktop. Once implemented, on the desktop, when you go to the site, it automatically fills and connects you, whereas, on the mobile phone, it doesn't do that quite seamlessly. You need to open the True Key application and then select the password you want to use. It then opens in the browser. There are fewer steps in the desktop version as compared to the mobile version.

I'm not an IT person, and therefore can't speak to if there are any missing features. For me, it works quite well and I have no complaints. The solution could always use more security features. If it was more secure, it would be an even stronger product.

The solution could be improved by providing a little more information. Sometimes I'd like to know why a site is considered unsafe. Is the site on a list or is there a component within the site that is problematic. That could be a feature they add in the next release. If I had more details, I could make an informed decision as to whether or not I wish to proceed. I would also like to see more coverage for spam.

I do not know if you really need to improve Web Protection. The only thing I can think of that might be negative is that sometimes I get a feeling that web protection products are purposely filtering some sites that are not really malicious. I do not know if they try and guide you toward particular websites or away from others for marketing purposes. I do know that if you do not use web protection, you tend to see more websites. The dangerous ones are filtered. Maybe more transparency on what the filters do would be good.

The configuration could be simplified because it is more complex to make the configuration on McAfee. What can be improved is the support of the agent on smartphones, IOS or Android. That still now is not available yet. We are not satisfied with the compatibility of the solution with other devices, like smartphones. In the next release, we would like to see the support of smartphones. It's one of the things that we have been asking them for five years.

We need a better customer experience and more flexibility in the product. I would like to put in more roles for the users.

I would like to see easy-to-use documentation regarding new threats. The solution should be more proactive in regards to sending you updates. Rather than simply being informed of an update and then have to click on it if you want to, the service packs should be installed automatically.
