The initial setup was straightforward.

The product's initial setup phase was not that easy, so I would describe it as a moderate process.

The solution is deployed on the cloud and on an on-premises model.

The solution can be deployed in less than a week.

For the deployment phase of the product, my company has around four technical personnel. My company has around three technical personnel for the maintenance part, which is not difficult.

Understanding the core functionalities of a security framework is key – regardless of the vendor. You need to know where the vulnerabilities and risks are, what data needs monitoring, and how threat intelligence is used for decision-making. So these core aspects, the framework itself, really don't differ much between McAfee, Symantec, or Azure Defender.

Setting up McAfee MOVE AntiVirus was simple. Once I purchased the solution and obtained the license key, all I had to do was download the software and enter the license key to complete the setup process. Overall, I found the setup to be quick and effortless. The length of time it takes to complete the implementation depends on the internet speed but if you have a fast download it can be done in five minutes.

The product's initial setup phase is easy, but if McAfee is installed on other devices, such as smartphones, the installation can get a little bit difficult.

The solution can be deployed in an hour or two, but I can't remember the exact time.

The setup process is pretty straightforward. If it's a corporation, it can be a bit more complex. 

I'm not sure how long it takes to deploy. 

Two people are enough to handle the setup process. They typically are admins.

RU
Senior Solutions Architect at a manufacturing company with 51-200 employees

The initial setup requires a certain skill set because anyone wanting to deploy such a tool needs to be aware of the best practices in terms of how the security should be designed, areas such as data configuration and product configuration. A simple antivirus installation should only take a couple of minutes but when it comes to the enterprise grade or installation on a server, it takes time because a lot of planning is required. The planning takes time, not the installation.

The initial setup complexity will depend on your deployment model. There is an agent-based or a non-agent based deployment with integrates with VMware NSX. 

The deployment can take around an hour and configuring it also doesn't take much time. Any agent-based solution can take some time. The non-agent based one will only take a few hours. It really varies on the environment.
