McAfee Web Protection [EOL] Pros review quotes

The most valuable is the blocking of blacklisted sites, a URL that is, either by intelligence or by McAfee, detected as a malicious site.

It doesn't seem to take too much system bandwidth, and I also like its reporting. Once a month, it gives me a reminder of the activity. It reminds me that the protection is on, and if there are any issues, it summarizes those minor issues. During the month, it only notifies when there is something special.

The most valuable features of McAfee Web Protection are the reporter, and you have the option to have an agent installed in the notebooks or on the mobiles. You are able to have the same policies inside and outside of your organization which is a benefit.

It's a solution that permits making a granular configuration and it is easier to deploy the same configuration on a lot of devices using the central console. It is the master of the product.

McAfee Web Protection [EOL] Cons review quotes

We used a consultant to help us set it up. Unfortunately, he was not that good. They were out of McAfee people. He was a consultant and knew the product, but he was not a McAfee person. How they managed it and how they worked was not straightforward.

The True Key version for mobile phones should be improved. The password manager is not as seamless as on the desktop. Once implemented, on the desktop, when you go to the site, it automatically fills and connects you, whereas, on the mobile phone, it doesn't do that quite seamlessly. You need to open the True Key application and then select the password you want to use. It then opens in the browser. There are fewer steps in the desktop version as compared to the mobile version.

McAfee Web Protection can improve the information provided for hybrid installations in the console. Additionally, having cloud protection would be good.

The initial setup could be simplified, there is a learning curve during the implementation.

Lacking filter for spam.

The manufacturerers should have more transparancy about exactly what is getting filtered when you use the product and why.

The configuration could be simplified because it is more complex to make the configuration on McAfee. What can be improved is the support of the agent on smartphones, IOS or Android. That still now is not available yet.

I'm not sure if the solution itself is cloud-based or not. If it isn't they really need to begin to develop that out a bit.

Endpoints are lightweight agents, eating too much of the host resources.

The solution should be more proactive in regards to sending you updates.
