18 years ago, when we were evaluating solutions, we looked at both McAfee and Norton and McAfee won. 

ePolicy Orchestrator provides a more comprehensive policy management capabilities than alternatives such as Symantec Endpoint Protection and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. Recommend that potential users consider their cloud integration needs and evaluate the cloud offerings of these solutions as well.

Companies like Palo Alto and Check Point have amazing SOAR solutions; in the case of Check Point it's an EDR type solution. I think McAfee MVISION is much better now that we have things like Insights. McAfee's advantage is that there are fewer false positives compared to some of these other vendors, so I'd say they're doing well.

We evaluated Trend Micro before choosing this solution, but we selected this one because of pricing and features.

My team worked on FireEye and Cisco solutions. When comparing McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator to both these solutions, there are pros and cons for each. Some features are positive and really good in McAfee in terms of the UI, and easy-to-use Console. However, when compared to advanced features, such as EDR, FireEye and Cisco are better compared to McAfee.

The antivirus measurement, compliance, and deploying the agents, are much easier in McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator compared to FireEye and Cisco.

We looked at several options.
