"I use McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for internet security, file security, and ensuring I don't have viruses on my system."
"ATP is really impressive, and with EDR, it is the best solution I have ever known."
"The installation was very easy."
"Stability-wise, it is very good and we have had no trouble."
"This solution helps in that I can control quite a few computers from our central location, with ease."
"It is a stable solution...It is a very scalable solution."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to manage antivirus security. There is an admin console that helps you make policies and do deployment of the clients, to make them reachable and to deploy updates."
"Offers good antivirus and local firewall."
"The cost could be lowered a bit."
"McAfee drive encryption does not work very smoothly."
"McAfee MOVE AntiVirus does not support integration with other devices, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The solution’s stability and licensing price could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"We started using MOVE Antivirus because our security staff required it. And I personally haven't seen the difference because I haven't had any issues so far that McAfee addresses."
"SentinelOne provides a cloud solution that McAfee MOVE AntiVirus should as well. When all other vendors come out with new features they are implemented by all the other vendors within a few months. However, this is not the case with McAfee MOVE AntiVirus. They should update their features more often to be more competitive with the market."
"The solution must provide better pricing."
"This latest version has proven unreliable for management and installation."
"I know they were just bought out by Broadcom and there have been some difficulties with Broadcom as far as getting license renewals, etc. Mostly, due to the fact that it's confusing, even for the vendor, people are turned off by it. The vendors are telling us that it can take weeks for them to get a renewal quote, nevermind the actual renewal."
"It seems that its not working very well with VMWare."
"It can be improved in terms of features and integration. It should have more advanced features and more integration. Currently, it is just talking to their own solutions. They could add more artificial intelligence, more XDR, and more integration with other vendors so that we can do sharing of information with other vendors."
"It would be interesting if Symantec Endpoint protection could also manage Windows Defender. If they were to add a feature, it would be nice if you could see the Symantec client and the Windows Defender client in case you choose to deploy both."
"It should support the next-generation IPS. Currently, it supports only IPS."
"The support needs to be better. When we upgrade, we can run into issues, and it's hard to get the help we require."
"The one thing I don't like about Symantec Endpoint Security is the amount of resources it uses."
