We've used Symantec as well as Bitlocker. With Microsoft Bitlocker, we aren't using DLP. We're only using endpoint encryption, which is a different thing. 

I have used other similar solutions prior to using McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention, such as Symantec and the others are not as good.

We moved from Symantec to McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention because of support. The service level and support level are better.

I have also used Symantec.

The main difference is the price. Symantec is more expensive than McAfee. McAfee is more user friendly than Symantec. Also, you can receive updates from McAfee more conveniently than with Symantec. It takes time for Symantec to integrate with other vendors, but McAfee is usually fast.

Also, when your license with Symantec is finished, all of your features will be disabled. For example, after one year, if your license is expired, your DLP will not work, but McAfee is not like that. You have all the features, but you cannot receive updates.

I used Norton for several years until 2019, and then I switched to McAfee Total Protection. I switched because of the plan and pricing option offered by McAfee Total Protection.

I have used Trend Micro, Sophos, and Kaspersky. Deciding on what solution is best would depend on the customer's use case.

We did not previously use another product. this was the first product we deployed. 

I'm also familiar with Kaspersky and Norton Security Premium.

I previously used an open-source solution, however, that was six or seven years ago.

I have used other anti-virus products like Sophos and Kaspersky. I switched to McAfee because it is easier to use and has more features than others. 

I have previous and current experience in usage of some other security applications like McAfee, like Kaspersky, like BitDefender, and like SOPHOS. So I have experience with a lot of these kinds of products and know which to recommend for particular purposes in deployments. We use McAfee because it fits certain client needs but we still sometimes use other solutions for other clients. Everyone is not the same.  

We also have our own security solutions and we do not use only third-party applications in our company. We have an ISMS (information security management system) that we customize for what we need it to do.  

Symantec has a similar solution available.

I also work with Symantec. It's a bit more expensive, and I find McAfee offers a few better, more advanced features. 

We've moved from McAfee products as we changed our environment, and we focus mostly on Microsoft now. 

I now prefer Microsoft. If you had asked me nearly eight months ago, I would have said I hate Microsoft. While I'm still not a huge fan, I appreciate the scalability and visibility. It's a native environment of Windows 10, Windows 8.1 servers, and Android and iPhones. The price is very low as well for CRM and ERP solutions. Now, there is no need to buy any antivirus for the ERP solution if you've got licenses, of course, from Microsoft.

I was the chief information security officer at one of the largest banks in Africa. I have used all of the products including McAfee DLP, McAfee Endpoint, and Forcepoint DLP as well.

We're looking at a different solution right now, as this one isn't working for us. We're currently using it, however, very soon we'll implement a different solution instead of this one.

We are also using Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention.

We had used other McAfee solutions before. McAfee was the status quo. Then, the expansion was into Solidcore and app control. It was really about expanding within the McAfee portfolio.

I haven't experienced a lot of users, however, so far, McAfee has been excellent.
