We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is excellent for protecting users from data being exploited. It's also great for preventing data leakage.""The new feature for online protection does a good job of identifying traits.""The most valuable feature is security.""I am satisfied with the customer service/technical support.""The beauty of McAfee is that they are not looking at encryption from one single standpoint. It is a broader solution.""It provides encryption, data protection, and DLP, all under one roof. The deployment, scalability, and reporting is too good. My clients are satisfied with the stability of the product. The solution is highly scalable. The technical support's response time and turnaround time as the solution provider are excellent. The availability of great back-end support and process support makes the product great. The initial setup is straightforward, with simple configurations. I recommend the solution.""It is capable of acting as Web control, Device Control, or Data Control.""The interface is user-friendly and it provides a large number of options."

"One of the most valuable features is that it will block vulnerable sites. If there was a connection between one of our devices to a known malware site, it will block it.""We have another piece of that infrastructure that does what they call threat emulation. It's like sandboxing where it takes files that it doesn't know about, puts them in a VM-type environment, and it kicks them off to see if there's any malware or tendencies that might look like malware, that kind of thing.""I found the offline scanning to be particularly useful.""This product has the capability of uploading scripts to the tool and this is a very comprehensive feature.""The best feature of this solution is that we have a live response, which is really tailored to our needs.""It is a scalable solution...The initial setup was straightforward.""I like the historical features, interface, and integration.""Behavioral Monitoring stops known malicious events before they even begin."

Cons
"The solution needs more advanced features.""Initial setup was complex.""There's a limited coverage of operating systems. The marketing strategies need to change drastically.""There are compatibility issues with the Chrome browser.""There are some features that do not work with Mac.""This solution does not do as well at protecting the end-user against unknown viruses.""The product must improve endpoint encryption.""The solution needs a next generation or AI firewall that doesn't rely on signatures to detect traits."

More McAfee Complete Data Protection Cons →

"In our company, we also wanted to have network detection, like a host-based IDS on VMware Carbon Black Endpoint, but we did not get it.""The support is poor.""It is difficult to extract reports for ongoing scans""The directions for Splunk are spot on, but it is difficult to find anything on integration with AlienVault,""In the past, we've seen some stability issues in the latest version releases. We tend to hang back one version just to make sure issues are fully resolved to avoid user disruption.""In my company, we face issues sometimes when there is a need to write custom rules or we want to write for some rules that are different from the standard rules provided by the solution.""Carbon Black needs to do a better job of proving their platform in the industry, and providing a bit more access to do industry testing with real world examples to help prove their platform.""Right now, Carbon Black CB Defense doesn't support cloud computing and Kubernetes."

  • "​The cost/benefit factor has great relevance in Cb Defense implementations​."
  • "The cost is a considerable factor, but the benefit factor is the most important. When you compare it with other products, the price is high. Carbon Black will negotiate the price."
  • "I am not really involved in the pricing of this product. But, from my understanding, it is OK for us."
  • "Carbon Black might be a touch more expensive than Symantec. They tend to get a premium for their capabilities. They're sort of an industry leader in a lot of areas with the functionality that they provide."
  • "We have branches, we have different companies, but we cannot buy less than 100 licenses. This does not make sense to me... It should be more flexible. I can understand their saying, "Okay, to be a customer you need 100," but to add on to that number it should be something very straightforward. If I need to add five, for example, I shouldn't need to add 100."

  • "It's reasonable in price"
  • "The price for the solution is completely at government level, meaning one which is very high."

    Overview

    Sensitive data is constantly at risk of loss, theft, and exposure. Many times, the data simply walks right out the front door on a laptop or USB device. Companies that suffer such a data loss risk serious consequences, including regulatory penalties, public disclosure, brand damage, customer distrust, and financial losses. According to a Ponemon Institute report, 7% of all corporate laptops will be lost or stolen sometime during their useful life. The rapid proliferation of mobile devices with large storage capacities and often internet access is opening up even more channels for data loss or theft, so protecting sensitive, proprietary, and personally identifiable information must be a top priority. McAfee Complete Data Protection Suites address all of these concerns and many more.
