It is an agent-based solution, with the agent installed on all systems.

We have anywhere between 35 and 40,000 nodes.

We are using version 8. It is a Hybrid deployment. McAfee uses its own cloud. We monitor everything that is going outside of the United States, and that's why we can see any communication between our users who are outside of Virginia or the United States. We use it to see the communication between our users and outside the United States. We have almost 700 users. We have different departments and all the users. As well, we include servers for this; that we can block any server trying to talk outside to any site.

We use this solution for SSL encryption and web inspection. It's our first line of defense in terms of my internet accessibility as an end-user. We have used McAfee solutions for over 20 years and we are loyal customers of the company. I'm the company's senior group manager, IT enterprise.

It's very good for web protection, which is what we use it for. It's an antivirus we can install on our devices, such as desktops or laptops.

I am using the LiveSafe version for the endpoint protection of my main computer, two portables, and a mobile phone. I am also using the True Key password manager that is a part of the package. It also has a feature to monitor identity theft.

We use this solution for protection, basically for scanning. Sometimes it pops up to warn me that I'm connecting to a site that is unsafe and it blocks access. I work as a CIO along with others in the company and we offer our consulting services to different companies. I'm a customer of McAfee.

The primary use is the malware protection capability. Sometimes we use it for the firewall features, but normally it is just a straight antivirus product for us.  

I work with clients to get it installed and I also use it personally.
