The feature that I have found most valuable is its general purpose of protecting our endpoints from infections, malicious files, and all those kinds of things. The fact that there are organized policies and policy inheritance. The general management.

The most valuable features of McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator are the easy-to-use console, and lots of reports, such as customized reports and inventory reports. Additionally, overall the centralized management is very good where you can see the compliance levels and inventory.

What I like the most is the ability to manage centrally, to manage the various devices, the platform, and the endpoint, all from one console.

I really like the auditing component because it really looks at exactly what has happened on the network.

If you set it up right, it can really manage a very complex environment which require fine tuning where there are a lot of exceptions. That's what it caters to. It can just do those specifics in those exceptional situations, which is good.

We implemented data transfer protection, which allows transfer in one direction only. Users can copy from the PC to the USB but not from the USB to the PC. That way, if someone is carrying a virus on a USB, it will not be transferred to the PC.

You have to have some experience, however, it's pretty simple to understand.

The impact of the agent on the endpoint's performance - the resources it takes. Additionally, the difficulties we experience with inheriting and breaking inheritance on the organization's structure breakdown for policy inheritance and then for rules inheritance. We are actually struggling with this.

The solution could improve the EDR component in many areas, such as the zero-day and persistent threats. The implementation is also complex for this feature.

The rollout to cover the online resources, such as SharePoint, One Drive, and Office 365 doesn't seem to have a very clear path.

They have to do something to make the solution more resilient or recoverable from power failure events, which may include creating their own database.

While there are bugs and a few functionality issues, it is just a matter of raising them with the support team. However, support is part of the problem as well. You want everything to be seamless in a perfect world, but the support is spread across different countries. They have Level 1, 2, and 3. Level 1 is most likely in a developing country. They don't provide the best service.

The way that ePolicy launches the updates is very slow. It would be great if that was faster.

The solution sometimes has some false positives on IP addresses, from the web control aspect of the product. This needs to be improved.
