The solution can be easy or complex. It depends on the environment in which we are going to implement or deploy the product on. 

It becomes complex, especially when it's a virtualized environment.

The time it takes to deploy depends on the number of endpoints running within the organization. The initial setup for the administration part may take two business days.

There should be an updated operating system first, in order to host the administration console of the product. Then certain batches have to be installed, including batches on updates for the product itself. Then we usually install the main orchestrator of this product. After that, we generate the endpoint package to be distributed on other endpoints.

Usually, one to three people are needed to deploy the solution. 

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. 

The setup is quite easy and only takes a few minutes because it is a SaaS solution. 

Currently, the solution's initial setup on a new computer is quite simple. Although some time is needed to configure all the policies, especially for our needs, it is not too difficult.

The deployment takes one week internally and two days of professional help from a local vendor partner.

It is enough to have one administrator for the solution’s maintenance, but we do not have one full-time administrator. A dedicated person is needed for the maintenance and monitoring of the solution to take it to its full potential. The resources or computers needed to use the solution make it quite expensive. Especially if you put the drive encryption and don't have new computers, you will have to delete multiple files, which is quite a pain.

The installation is easy, but expertise is required.

While the installation was not especially time consuming, we would occasionally have to manually install or remove the entire tool. McAfee Endpoint Security can be considered a good product but outdated. The beta version, the one we are currently using, is not up to date. Nowadays, everybody uses EDR and XDR solutions for their security needs.

I rate Trellix Endpoint Security an eight out of ten for ease of initial setup.

Regarding the initial setup of Trellix Endpoint Security, I am accustomed to executing it accurately. I would rate it around 8.5 or 9.I have successfully implemented Trellix Endpoint Security for up to five thousand endpoints, and the process took approximately four days. For smaller enterprises, it can be completed in about one day.

It's pretty straightforward to deploy the product as an enterprise solution. I create a System Tree, and I break everything out between VMs, workstations, servers, and VLANs.

The initial setup is quite straightforward.

The initial setup is not so straightforward. It's difficult if you aren't used to McAfee. It takes time to get the hang of it. 

The solution’s initial setup is easy.

I rate Trellix Endpoint Security ten out of ten for the ease of its initial setup.

The initial setup is very simple. It's not overly complex. We have two people who are able to handle its implementation.

It takes us about two weeks to set everything up.

I work with this solution and I have two junior colleagues. They also help me and we have an IT support team that assists as well. They are actually installing it into the new laptops and they actually sometimes take on basic troubleshooting. basically from the server end, I take care of it and I have two helping hands and we have 15 members in IT support. They provide support to the end-user.

While I wasn't at the company for the original implementation, looking at it, it's not that complex of a process. When I got here, we were using the lower version and then we've just upgraded it and used a higher version level. The process wasn't difficult. We upgraded to 10.5, 10.6, now we are on 10.7.

It's quite easy to install agents. Deployment and product updates are quite easy, as well. It goes without saying that it comes with some, I would say, low-level training and upscaling but these are easily retrievable from the knowledge base of McAfee.

We manually downloaded their AMCore versions to keep all our endpoints up to date. This way, whenever we troubleshoot the root cause of an issue, we still keep our endpoints as updated as possible and keep our environment safe.

When we installed the Agent — let's say I am building a new VM and new server. When you run the frame package, it's really intense. I would say it takes roughly two minutes to install, then afterward, to install the ENS modules, like the threat protection and web filtering packages, you've got to go through the ePolicy Orchestrator management console. I would say, all in all, it takes roughly 10 minutes.

To get it up to date, to download everything, all the packages, the software updates, and all of the AMCore DAT files as well as the virus definitions, it's quite easy. It doesn't take much time at all.  

The initial deployment of Trellix Endpoint Security involves some time to install agents on host machines. However, once in use, adding new versions and deploying agents to GPO becomes straightforward. It's possible to manually install agents on various devices, and the current process of deploying agents through GPO policies typically takes around ten to fifteen minutes per agent. The duration may vary based on internet connectivity, and it's generally faster when the machine is on the network.

I would rate it 8 out of 10 and it is very straightforward. 

The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult. It's pretty simple and rather straightforward. 

That said, I didn't handle the installation myself. We had a team that did it.

We did the installation with the main product that integrated with McAfee Endpoint Security. Between the two, the installation took a whole day, however, just the McAfee section takes about two or so hours. 

I operate within a managed environment where the IT team handles the installation and setup of endpoint security software. Once installed, they provide me with the necessary details, such as login credentials and instructions for changing passwords. My role primarily involves using the machines provided to me, without needing to delve into the setup process.

The initial setup for an experienced administrator should be easy. The setup can also be easy if you follow the very detailed guide which they call the KB guide that they provide. You can receive good support from the professional services team from McAfee. That is how many organizations usually do the initial setup.

The installation was very easy and quick. It only takes a few minutes.

From a technical side, it's not so complicated. Of course, you need to set up your server correctly, and then deploying it to the agent is pretty simple. The setup on the server is the one that is a bit technical. You can't have a default deployment, so once you do your deployment you need to set up rules that work within your environment to be able to safeguard it against suspect files or potentially unwanted programs. You need to know exactly what to do, and that's the point that may not be very friendly to admin, because they might not know all of the threats that are out there. You can't really foresee a threat that you don't know about, or rather you don't know if you'd block it or not. The initial setup is pretty much straightforward if you're an IT person, but the configuration side has a learning curve. It takes quite some bit of time to really know exactly what you're doing.

We have to follow a step-by-step process to implement Trellix Endpoint Security. It can be deployed in the cloud and on-premises.

The initial setup was straightforward. It took us 10 to 15 minutes to deploy the solution because we had to go a bit deeper into the settings.

The initial installation is not complex. It does depend on how big your network is, but normally it's one day's work.

The implementation part of the product is not difficult. From an implementation perspective, I find the product to be good enough.

For me, the product's deployment in all endpoints takes an hour, and it is a simple process. I don't know if the deployment process is still simple or not and whether improvements have been made to the solution.

The initial setup of Trellix Endpoint Security was straightforward.

The solution is deployed on the hybrid cloud. Trellix Endpoint Security provides its tool as a SaaS product.

The deployment process can be done in around two hours.

Our company has around 40 engineers to deploy and manage the maintenance of the product.

I rate Trellix seven out of 10 for ease of setup. It is a complex tool, but you can use many of the new features while you're installing it. The deployment time varies depending on the number of endpoint accounts and how the client is distributed. It typically takes less than a day for a large enterprise. If nothing goes wrong, you can finish in a few hours. One person is enough to deploy and maintain it. 

Installation was a bit complicated right in the beginning. We obviously had to use a different extension and some of the policy had to be modified, changed or migrated across, but there were no other issues.

There's no need for any additional configuration settings to install Trellix Endpoint Security. You just access the web UI, and that's it.

It's pretty straightforward. It can be automated from the central ePolicy orchestrator server. So, the installation is fairly easy because you can automate it with the deployment of your virtual machines and things like that.

The initial setup is very simple, allowing a person to get the videos or documents on the internet. 

The deployment takes one to two days.

The initial setup can be both straightforward or complex. Some documentation on clients is very slow. Basically, we spent time implementing the ePO version because sometimes the database from the ePO is too big, and we need to do some things to the database to shrink the space, and it doesn't always work as expected. Sometimes, we have to follow one, two, or three steps to get the data and various scenarios to increase the number of steps because troubleshooting wasn't working.

If we implement MVISION, eventually, it would take around three hours because we have to install the software on the server. We have to do all the upgrades and implement some upgrades to the ePO software. Basically, it's three hours, but it can take five to six hours, depending on the data's size.

The initial setup was simple and the deployment itself was straightforward. The was no complexity in terms of the architecture or the initial deployment of the solution.

I came into the organization when McAfee was already deployed. However, I've set up some other packages. For example, although McAfee was already deployed, the USB blocking features module, took about two months I would say to deploy across the network.

We have a team of approximately four people the deploy patches and updates and generally maintain the solution.

The initial setup was complex and required too many servers.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not overly complex. A company shouldn't have any issues with the implementation process. It's pretty normal, pretty standard.

I did not handle the installation. McAfee is already installed in the servers and then we or the customers get the servers. Therefore, we don't have to actually do anything regarding McAfee. It's already installed in there.

The initial setup is easy. The solution is deployed on the cloud.

I wasn't responsible for the initial setup. I can't really speak to how easy or difficult the solution is to set up or how long the deployment takes.

It's fairly easy to get going. It's been around for a while now, and there are lots of use cases. You just just need to follow the best practice installation documentation.

The initial setup is easy.

The initial setup is straightforward for the administration. The end-user should not have to do anything. There is an automatic trigger and it scans devices on the network along with their files and automatically generates a report. That is all there is to it. It is updated through the central station which tracks the upgrades and the devices that it scans.  

Installing McAfee products is very easy. Not only at the endpoint. Any McAfee product, because of the Product and Installation guide available with good detailing,and the availability in the community & knowledge base articles. Most of the blogs you find even outside of the McAfee community, which help me in the deployment of McAfee products. So installation never seems to be hard for me.

The deployment is simple and very straightforward, including when one wishes to deploy in the cloud.

For the initial setup, McAfee always requires some kind of consulting, which is good for us as a provider. A customer cannot do an installation without help. It is not too easy for a customer, but it is fine for consultants.

When I came in, there was a previous manager. He set it up. I had nothing to do with it.

The initial setup was straightforward, as we tried to automate the deployment of AV. However, it got more cumbersome after that, requiring a lot more of our time and resources.

The setup is easy and straightforward. Install the agent, put the computer in the correct deployment group, and that's it.

Its setup is very easy and straightforward.

The initial setup is complex. It is a very complex product. You must have experience with it. If not, installation can be disastrous. You must have experience with it because it's not easy. But if you install it perfectly everything can then be done automatically and it's more powerful.

It's all about planning and testing.
ePO can be complex but the antivirus is not that complex.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward because it comes with the central admin manager. This means that it can be deployed or pushed from this console.

It takes a couple of hours to roll this solution out to about 500 users.

The initial setup is complex as loads of communication (ports between server, clients and locations) has to be done, making setup difficult. You need a good engineer who has knowledge of SQL, database, servers, and firewalls.

Initial setup was very straightforward and easy. Fine-tuning for your environment takes a little love and care, but that’s true for any product.

The initial setup was very straightforward. 

I was not involved in the installation of McAfee Endpoint Security.

It was not that simple. I would say it was moderate. It took more than three months to stabilize.

The setup was very straightforward. The EPO server deployed the McAfee agent and then we were able to deploy Endpoint Security.

On the workstation, the initial setup is easy.

For the server, it takes a long time for your people to implement it.

The initial setup is straightforward, not complex.

The setup was straightforward, and not complex.

I would not say that it was complex, but of course you should do some testing with the policies to reach the best performance and the best protection for your client. We used an ePO server to manage the policy, as well as the deployment, without any problems.

The initial setup of VSE is via the ePO. When checked in to the ePO, VSE can be deployed to the whole environment via the ePO silently without any user intervention.

Best Practice from my point of view is to start small and go big. Install the server and all the components, enroll two to three endpoints (server,laptop,desktop), create the needed policies, and extend the deployment to other endpoints, and so on until you cover all the organization and you are sure that there are no issues with the server or endpoint performance.

The initial setup is a little bit complicated, although this is because it has a tremendous number of features. Almost anything that you can think of can be configured.

The time required to deploy an ePO server with endpoint security depends on the number of endpoints in the environment, as well as the business processes. Some things require monitoring and observation over time, but in general, it can be set up over two or three days.

It was a bit complex in starting as you need to pick and choose the options that fit to your organizational need. IT security engineer need to learn and develop the skill to manage the product. Once it is all set, it's easy to manage.

You install the ePO Server, link to AD, and deploy the agent. Then all you need to do is to configure the policies and deploy module, then it's ready. There is, however, a learning curve to properly configure policies and client tasks in the most efficient way.

The installation is very easy.

The initial setup for this solution is very easy. Anyone can learn the interface.

The deployment takes approximately half an hour, depending on the speed of the server, and depending on the nodes. I can manage one thousand nodes in one week.

The maintenance of this solution requires two or three people.

The initial setup was complex. 

The initial setup is fine. 

It is straightforward. We've got a lot of experience in McAfee.

The initial setup was very straightforward. 

The initial setup was straightforward.

Initial setup was a bit complex because we had not used this product before. So, we had a learning curve of how to understand, manage, how to deploy the product and how to keep updating. Once we understood it, the product was easy to use for our needs.

The initial setup was very easy.

It was not really complex, but, there are many ways to customize this solution. This customization takes some time. 

The installation was not difficult.

Initial setup was straightforward as only one server was needed.

The initial setup was straightforward.

The initial installation went on for two and a half months.

It was straightforward for Endpoint Protection Antivirus for encryption, but it took some time. This McAfee encryption had some issues with Windows 8 and Windows 7 older versions. For new versions it runs smoothly.

Complex. I remember there were so many steps to do.

The installation is easy and only takes approximately one hour.

The initial setup was not complex. The deployment took only a few minutes. We only needed one employee for the deployment. If need be, we'll require two employees for maintenance but one is usually enough. 

The initial setup was straightforward.

It takes two days to deploy.
