Featured Reviews

JerryOniye - PeerSpot reviewer
Enterprise Resources Planning Manager at Mandilas Toyota
Comprehensive protection and seamless integration elevate security experience
A positive aspect of Trellix MOVE AntiVirus is that our biggest feature prevents users from installing USB drives. We don't have the issue of distributing viruses or transfer of files. They always track harmful files before they can enter the computer system. It protects against unnecessary use of external storage devices. It also gives protection to all the systems, on-premise or out of the premises, online, including the server. The server sends periodic updates to all the systems connected to it. We have administrative overhead as we have centralized management for Trellix MOVE AntiVirus. We can monitor all our computers that are currently using Trellix MOVE AntiVirus. We can monitor all their vital points. If they are online, offline, if they are being attacked by any viruses, anything that we need to take action upon, it will be on our centralized overview application.

Ensures continuous protection with real-time scanning of emails and mailboxes
ScanMail needs improvement in its reporting, as it is currently weak in some areas. Additionally, the response time of their technical support is slow and needs enhancement. Overall, Trend Micro's technical support has deteriorated, and pricing is another area that requires attention. The list pricing is high, and we lose deals against competitors because of this. Trend Micro should consider reducing their prices, especially for large customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Everything can be combined from the endpoint and server infrastructure security perspective."
"Overall, the policies are good. They are easy to implement."
"The tool offers protection from viruses for devices and endpoints."
"The most valuable features of McAfee MOVE AntiVirus are the auto-scans on the systems, and if it detects any virus, it will send out notifications or alerts."
"When I'm getting some emails or something, they will be scanned, and the solution will be giving me an indication of whether any malware or anything is present."
"Technical support is okay."
"The solution is stable, which is why I have been using it for at least ten years, if not much longer."
"I use McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for internet security, file security, and ensuring I don't have viruses on my system."
"The analysis part is good."
"The most effective feature of ScanMail is its real-time antivirus behaviors, particularly when it scans URLs."
"What I like the most about Trend Micro ScanMail is its easiness."
"I find Trend Micro ScanMail to be a stable solution, and I would rate its stability as nine out of ten."
"Trend Micro ScanMail is scalable at different levels."
"I like that Trend Micro ScanMail is very effective and quite strong."
"It does the job. Even when our clients have a very high rate of emails per second, there has been no problem."
"Its integration with mail platforms is valuable."
 

Cons

"The performance is poor. It slows down my PC when it starts running."
"The security feature should be more secure."
"The solution uses up a lot of memory, which is a major issue."
"The solution could improve by making the dashboards better."
"The advanced threat protection is not as good as our competitors."
"The user interface of McAfee MOVE AntiVirus could benefit from some improvements. The excessive pop-ups can be bothersome, particularly when sharing my screen online, as I often get interrupted by the notifications. While I understand there is an option to disable these pop-ups, I feel that it should be disabled by default. Although I appreciate the overall design of the graphical user interface, the constant interruptions detract from the user experience."
"McAfee MOVE AntiVirus does not support integration with other devices, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The process of enabling drive encryption can be improved. It takes a long time to enable drive encryption."
"Its user interface is pretty old-fashioned, and sometimes, it's hard to find the features that you are looking for. The user interface definitely needs some improvement."
"The sandboxing part can be improved."
"The price could be better. I think it's pretty good compared to other solutions as far as the features are concerned. It basically covers most of the stuff which we require for email security. But it would be better if they made it a little cheaper and more cost-effective. That would make it easier for us to sell it."
"The weaknesses of Trend Micro ScanMail are that it doesn't fully protect ad-based web access and lacks proper security for Outlook, iOS, and web browser access."
"The price could be better. But it would be better if they made it a little cheaper and more cost-effective."
"I believe there is room for improvement in better signatures, better reporting features, and more insight into the spam emails database."
"Even Trend Micro ScanMail support staff are not familiar with this product."
"ScanMail needs improvement in its reporting, as it is currently weak in some areas."
