Secures data loss for our law firm but has struggled with outdated, complex management
On a technical level, when I draw a comparison between McAfee Complete Data Protection and CrowdStrike, McAfee Complete Data Protection is a one out of ten, and then CrowdStrike is a ten out of ten. I say that technically McAfee Complete Data Protection is so low because the console and the portal haven't changed in almost ten years. It's had some slight visual improvements, but that's it. It's not really working in a modern portal the way that some of the enterprise apps like CrowdStrike actually work. McAfee Complete Data Protection is also very difficult to use. It takes a lot of time to get my head around how it actually operates. It's not very intuitive. However, in terms of pricing and the specific use cases that I have, it's good.

Fast with great patching and the ability to prioritize critical work
For a customer that had 4,000 devices, and at the time they had something that only supported Windows. We suggested this product, and the client was able to manage inventory and patch beyond just Windows devices. It helped them maintain compliance and patching permissions. They could do all the patching of all the devices within a week - offering less downtime.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"With McAfee Complete Data Protection, you can managed all your security solutions from one single server and one interface. This might be the most powerful advantage of McAfee's solution."
"With this solution, the device control is more reliable and more stable."
"The most valuable feature is security."
"The most important feature of McAfee Complete Data Protection to my customers is the ePO or the management console. It's easy to use and it's scalable. You can also generate the reports you want on the console. It's a mature management console. The features that McAfee Complete Data Protection has, for example, anti-spam features and other features can also be found on other solutions, but the most unique feature you can find in the solution is the ePO itself, the management console."
"I don't need to have any interaction with this product, which means that it is very, very good, and it is doing its job."
"With respect to data loss prevention, I think it is helpful to the customer."
"The beauty of McAfee is that they are not looking at encryption from one single standpoint. It is a broader solution."
"The server software console is exquisitely designed and organized for handy access and manipulation by the administrator."
"The stability is good."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"The only thing that I think could be improved is the data classifier."
"The solution needs more advanced features."
"There are compatibility issues with the Chrome browser."
"There was an option for SQL setup in the older versions of this product and it has been removed, but we would like to see it made available as an add-on."
"The refresh feature needs improvement. You need to refresh it manually yt going to the address bar, clicking on it and pressing enter, or pressing F5. There should be a button you can click on to refresh or have it so every five seconds it's refreshing."
"The product consumes too much RAM and CPU for its processing and this can lead to resource issues on PCs."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"This solution does not do as well at protecting the end-user against unknown viruses."
"If they could introduce it on the cloud, it would be ideal."
"I'm not on the most current version, however, I know one area that I didn't get into that I kind of wanted to is to have a mobile device management tool. My understanding is it's improved a lot from the version I have. It may be a feature that is already available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is quite reasonable compared to other vendors."
"McAfee Complete Data Protection is a little bit expensive."
"The pricing is better than that of some competing products."
"The solution is affordable"
"The cost of McAfee Complete Data Protection isn't that high but isn't that cheap as well, so it's in the middle."
"The solution is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the solution a seven."
