Secures data loss for our law firm but has struggled with outdated, complex management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

"I have found the USB part most valuable."
"The beauty of McAfee is that they are not looking at encryption from one single standpoint. It is a broader solution."
"It is capable of acting as Web control, Device Control, or Data Control."
"The McAfee Threat Protection and McAfee Web Protection are valuable aspects of the solution. They're better than other features that come with the endpoints."
"With proper policies and configuration, it prevents sending corporate data to both cloud storage or to flash drives and data extraction."
"It worked for me: it's easy to use and has been very effective."
"The best features of McAfee Complete Data Protection are DLP and encryption; compared to other products in the market, these features are quite intuitive."
"Complete Data Protection lets us define roles in our data products. It helps us identify something suspicious on the client's device."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"The stability is good."
 

Cons

"The solution needs more advanced features."
"The product must improve endpoint encryption."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"In terms of where the solution could improve, it could integrate with network solutions for ADTs, email web gateways and discovery."
"We encountered several problems with the solution's stability."
"I would like to have an easier and less-hassle upgrade process in future releases of the software, and extra license renewal price discounts too."
"We are looking for more granular control over the policies."
"The solution needs a next generation or AI firewall that doesn't rely on signatures to detect traits."
"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 solution is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"The price is good, it's a low-cost solution."
"The pricing of the cloud offering seems confusing."
"We currently have a contract option with McAfee Complete Data Protection."
"McAfee Complete Data Protection is a little bit expensive."
"The price of this solution needs to be improved."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"When it comes to pricing, I've observed an increase recently."
