The initial setup is complex in the beginning. However, now that it has been properly configured and the bandwidth has been increased, it is running smoothly.

The initial setup of McAfee Web Protections is straightforward. It took around three days to complete. The implementation strategy was; first, block blacklist all the websites. Second, we move monthly monitoring different sites that people go to or sites that people need to go to, but we detect that it is malicious. Then we make an investigation because we are the entity that makes investigations. Maintenance is every time they update when new versions come out. It takes a few hours. That's another thing that's nice about McAfee Web Protection, it's straightforward. You download the update, put it there, and in a few hours, it is there.

Unless you have a unified console, the initial setup can be a little complicated.

It was very simple. I added identity theft and True Life and just followed their guidance to install. It was simple, and I did not have to contact anybody.

Recently, I changed my telephone, and it was really simple to disconnect the old one from the protection and connect the new one.

The initial setup was very straightforward and I did a refresh at one point which I do once in a while. It went very smoothly so I don't have any complaints. Deployment takes a few hours if you're installing an entire computer but McAfee itself took maybe five or 10 minutes.

It is complex to set up the infrastructure. Defining the rules that permit or denies the internet address is complex. Also if you have to connect the appliance to different active directory domains, there is a complicated procedure to create the token that you have to upload on the device on. 

The deployment took three to four weeks.

A lot of config will need to be done. If you don't know what you are doing, or if you don't know the product and it's config, you should contact either McAfee or a partner to them for help.
