    The performance is good and it's very stable
    Pros and Cons
    • "One of the most valuable features is the performance. It's very stable."
    • "The installation process could be improved. It's a bit difficult, but once you get it right, it's fine."

    What is our primary use case?

    Our primary use case of this solution—we've got what they call McAfee ePO—is for a centralized system that we use to manage all the other endpoints from the central point. It's for endpoint protection, but there are some other options that you can use, such as Web Control, Firewall, etc. This solution is deployed on-premise. 

    What is most valuable?

    One of the most valuable features is the performance. It's very stable. 

    What needs improvement?

    The installation process could be improved. It's a bit difficult, but once you get it right, it's fine. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    This solution is very stable. We have a team of three admins for maintenance.

    This solution is scalable. There are approximately 250 users in my organization who are using McAfee. 

    How was the initial setup?

    What about the implementation team?

    We implemented through an in-house team, with outside support. 

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    There is a yearly subscription cost for this solution. 

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    We also looked at ESET and Sophos, but settled on McAfee. When we visited other sites that were using McAfee, we were quite impressed. 

    What other advice do I have?

    I rate McAfee a nine out of ten. I can definitely recommend this solution to others considering implementation. 

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Setup process was easy and quick and offers good protection for personal use
    Pros and Cons
    • "I like real-time mobile protection. It's quite easy to use and efficient."
    • "There is room for improvement in terms of stability."

    What is our primary use case?

    I use it for protection, antivirus, anti-phishing, and support.

    What is most valuable?

    I like real-time mobile protection. It's quite easy to use and efficient.

    It's a good protection. I use it personally, so for this kind of first level of protection, it's okay. For the usage that I have. It's okay.

    What needs improvement?

    I would consider additional measures if I needed a higher level of protection, such as implementing more firewalls and other security measures.

    But this kind of first level of protection, it's okay.

    However, there is room for improvement in terms of stability. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using this product for four years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    It's stable. I would rate the stability an eight out of ten because there is always room to improve.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    It is a scalable solution. I use it personally. 

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    I used Kaspersky, and I was not happy with the solution.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup was very easy. It was easy and quite quick.

    It's a very standard installation. Nothing specific.

    What was our ROI?

    It's like insurance, so you don't have any benefits until the moment that you need it. This is the security.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    The license fees are reasonable. It is a yearly licensing fee. 

    There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees.

    What other advice do I have?

    If somebody is not very professional in security and just wants to have a good solution to protect his environment, it's a good one.

    Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.
