Embrace the EPO, especially if you are running on an enterprise network. We didn't realize the importance of the EPO until we got the license. The EPO ensures your internet always runs and saves on bandwidth costs, especially if you have many users on your network. It ensures your computers don't go online after downloading updates so you save on data because you are guaranteed that updates come directly from the solution's server. 

Upgrades provide a centralized way of managing security on your network. Computers that are not updated could be a source of concern or could compromise your network. 

The solution allows you to prevent data loss, block circumvention of policies, and stop people from using your ESB or CPM to copy data. You can administer and see everything on a single screen. 

I rate the solution a nine out of ten. 

It's a really good solution, especially with Zero Trust coming up. McAfee also has the ability to patch. Overall, I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

We are a platinum partner of McAfee.

We’re using the latest version of the solution.

It is on-premise. However, it is also connected to the cloud as the McAfee solution, when we work in the EDR console, is cloud-connected to the on-premise console with the intelligence on the cloud.

The product is excellent. However, it is very complex to implement from scratch. Therefore, it’s good to have a partner that can assist you and help you with the setup.

I’d rate the solution eight out of ten.

My suggestion to those planning to use the solution is that they need to research more before implementing it, especially about the compatibility.

Since we encountered some issues still, even though this product is already mature enough, I rate the overall solution a six out of ten.

I would recommend anyone interested in McAfee Complete Data Protection should do their own assessment. After they do their assessment then they can decide if the product is for them. I would rate McAfee Complete Data Protection a seven out of ten.

I'm a reseller of McAfee Complete Data Protection. My company has a partnership with McAfee.

Most of my customers, around 80 percent to 90 percent, deployed McAfee Complete Data Protection on-premises.

For a hundred users of McAfee Complete Data Protection, only one person is required for the maintenance of the product.

In my opinion, what makes McAfee Complete Data Protection better than other solutions is that it's comprehensive. You can manage different McAfee solutions from one console. For example, you can choose McAfee DLP, antivirus, endpoint protection, application control, and encryption solutions, then manage all via just one management console, so it's the strongest point of McAfee Complete Data Protection.

I'm rating the solution eight out of ten.

The advice I have for people considering this type of security solution is not to listen to what all the companies advertise. You can see bad reviews, maybe good reviews as well, but you need to use that information from the reviews as a starting point for your own observations and not just believe what reviews say. I know some reviews on the internet are fair, but some reviews are not. Try to do a POC (Proof of concept) and conduct testing for yourself. Define your policies as per your requirements for your situation and your company and choose products that meet the needs of that model. If you want to install any solution with the default policies, it will probably not fit your requirements exactly. You will need to do enhancements and fine-tune the solution, so you will need a solution that can be tuned. Give the solutions a try. Do the POC for one or two months and then you can decide if it is a good solution for you.  

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate this product as an eight of ten. To make it ten or even a nine, they need to resolve the issues with how the solution consumes PC resources.  

It has multiple components. I don't remember the exact version number we are on, however, we are on the latest version.

I would recommend potential new users do extensive testing with the latest version due to the stability or the performance issues we have seen in their latest versions. We are using the latest versions, and it is in the newer versions where we've seen performance issues. So test with the latest versions first and test on a variety of laptops and desktops.

I'd rate the solution five out of ten. 

I recommend the solution. Overall, I rate it a nine out of ten.

The solution is easy to manage, configure, and monitor. It also has a good UI. I rate it an eight out of ten.

I would rate this solution as 10 out of 10.

I'm a consultant. Our company is a partner as well as a distributor.

I would recommend companies who want some solid security products to consider this solution. McAfee is well known in the market, and it has a good reputation specifically surrounding the EPO encryption. I would recommend them.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. I'd rate the solution higher if the navigation to the settings and propagation were more clear inside McAfee.

When you're searching for a vendor, first of all you want to be secure and comfortable with the partner that you're working with. The partner can see many vendors in the industry, and is working with many companies. When he's recommending a vendor, I'm more comfortable working with that vendor. So I'm listening to my partner's recommendation, and then I start to check out those vendors.

The criteria include that it is a stable vendor, has been in the market a long time, has a good solid, financial base so it can support the product that I'm working with.

My advice would be to speak with other companies who have implemented the solution to get references.

I would rate this solution a nine out of 10.

When I'm looking for a product like this, I don't want it to interfere with the performance of my database or system. The purpose of database security is to protect our ERP system database, and if the performance is going to be harmed or affected, from a business point of view that's a big issue. This product did not affect performance.

We are using the latest version of the solution. 

I'd likely recommend the solution to others. It's a good place to start in terms of developing a security strategy.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

I rate McAfee Complete Data Protection 10 out of 10. 

It is a pretty good product. Overall, I would rate it a seven out of ten.

I've been using the solution since 2005. We're partners with McAfee.

I would rate the solution nine out of ten.

For them to get 10, I think they also need to make sure they are still compatible with earlier versions of Windows. In this part of the world, in Africa, you find that there are companies that are still using the earlier editions of Windows, like Windows XP. They need to make sure they incorporate those operating systems even if they've reached the end of life for Windows, like Windows XP. Right now, the new version doesn't support XP.

We can see that a lot of things are moving to the cloud, and I want to see more cloud solutions and more integration where we can make use of them. As time goes on, we can see that there are more customers on the cloud.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate this McAfee Complete Data Protection product as an eight or even a nine-out-of-ten. Just for the encryption part, I think I will say nine. The solution is actually quite stable and otherwise, it is quite good. I would definitely recommend this product to other users. The core of McAfee has been my end solution for all types of situations for me for a long time. If I have not switched yet to work with any other solution, obviously, I think it is a good one and I definitely recommend McAfee.  

On the DLP side, I am not sure if there is much they can change in that system, because I think one part compliments the other. But on the DLP you do not have the same type of endpoints control you have in the cloud. So I think on the DLP side, they must provide better controls so the solutions are more similar in that way from both ends. If there is a way to balance from what you have on-premises and what you have in cloud, then it becomes a better product from the user perspective.  

For data encryption, I think they need to work on the interface and the configuration and make it easier. If it could work more like a comprehensive management system, it will make more sense. It will make more sense and it will actually create more market value for end-users than just doing file and folder encryption.  

The possibilities for integration with McAfee CDP are important. You can integrate with that solution. Not all people in all environments want to run McAfee for Endpoints. Some people also want to have that kind of synergy McAfee has in DLP and encryption. So if you are trying to encrypt the network for a sensitive environment and you have a checkpoint policy to use McAfee on your endpoint and on your DLP, configure it to mask or to encrypt a file. There has to be that type of relationship between DLP and encryption for it to work properly and accomplish these ultimate goals.  

Some organizations use other solutions for the DLP and they also have that in the architecture. I have not yet seen that scenario, but I can imagine that there can be environments that start with McAfee endpoints and they have access to encryption and they want to extend that integration. It might be possible to do but it seems to me that it is not actually a very common way of doing things.  

We are partners with McAfee.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We need to check a customer's environment and infrastructure before recommending this solution. Based on that, we can then decide on the type of setup they'll require. Later on, when their new environment increases, they're able to scale up easily.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give McAfee Complete Data Protection a rating of nine.

We use the on-premises deployment model.

I'd recommend the solution. It's modern, simple, scalable and reliable.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

McAfee Complete Data Protection is the best product on the market and I recommend it. It is very simple and anyone can easily understand it.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We are service providers, not customers. We're a platinum partner.

I'd recommend the solution to other companies. It's more than just an antivirus. It helps with compliance. 

However, I would advise a company that is considering buying it to understand what it can do and how it works in order to ensure it meets the needs of the organization.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We're mostly quite satisfied with its capabilities. 

So far, we are satisfied with the overall results and the product welcomed by end-users with few complaints.

My advice to others who are looking for a DLP solution, a data protection solution, would be to go for it. Along with the antivirus protection, I would definitely suggest the company to go for the next generation in antivirus or EDR or sensing technology which is currently more available in the market. There is more, newer technology on the market today. And antivirus properties of McAfee technology, like scanning the viruses and things like that, is more traditional, conventional technology. I will not say to go ahead with the antivirus, but McAfee's DLP data protection is still very good and it is one of the stable solutions on the market. I will rate it a seven out of ten.

This product is perfect, just too expensive.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

I would tell potential users that automatic update distribution would be very useful for such solutions. Doing it manually is very hard work.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give McAfee Complete Data Protection a nine.
