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.

Security suite has protected individual devices from threats, while installation and network features require improvements
BIG-IP is actually the LTM, Link Load Balancer, which comes with ASM, meaning Application Security Module. It consists of multiple modules, such as ASM, SWG, and a domain DNS manager. ZoneAlarm allows defining trusted and public networks, which helps maintain security in public Wi-Fi environments. It offers comprehensive protection, securing PCs against threats. Users do not experience any system slowdowns while scanning. Harmony Browser protects all your browsing activity and is bundled with Harmony Endpoint and Harmony Connect. It provides a small but effective security layer and sometimes comes packaged with the larger Harmony suite.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support is okay."
"There are tons of valuable features, including threat protection and antivirus."
"Protects the system from crashing."
"The technical support is good. They are fast to respond and they have weekend support."
"The antivirus aspect was great that's what we were most focused on."
"McAfee works quickly."
"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."
"We use the solution to prevent viruses and threats."
"I strongly recommend ZoneAlarm as a simple but efficient solution, especially if your organization doesn't have a dedicated budget for providing a security solution for BYOD devices."
"It is quick and easy to configure."
"It is easy to use through interfaces and easy to configure each of the customizations we created based on the characteristics that we wanted."
"Personally, I find the Game Mode of the Firewall very useful."
"The phone access scan stands out as the most valuable feature for me."
"The solution maintains reasonable scalability."
"This antivirus is regularly updated, and the updates can be scheduled."
"User friendly design and interface"
 

Cons

"The console is not user-friendly and that's a bit of a turn-off."
"I'm happy with the solution but the pricing could be improved, it's very expensive."
"This solution could be improved by faster performance. If I have other processes running, McAfee slows my laptop down."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"We started using MOVE Antivirus because our security staff required it. And I personally haven't seen the difference because I haven't had any issues so far that McAfee addresses."
"McAfee MOVE AntiVirus could improve by making it more secure."
"It would be ideal if the initial setup was a bit easier."
"The process of enabling drive encryption can be improved. It takes a long time to enable drive encryption."
"The solution's efficiency in threat containment and overall protection needs improvement."
"ZoneAlarm should be a light application that does not take too much memory in mobile phones."
"Currently, the client is only available for the Windows Operating System but it would be good if it were released for Mac OS as well."
"Updating ZoneAlarm is a problem at times."
"We'd like better performance of the network equipment. There are high-speed environments where an immediate response is required."
"Perhaps the primary area for potential enhancement is to make it faster, ensuring a more seamless experience while maintaining robust security features."
"They should release a single update with all the necessary characteristics to avoid being in a cycle of consecutive updates."
"I have used it in the past for personal desktops and for systems at small startups, but I would not recommend it as an enterprise level firewall security solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is reasonable."
"The solution requires a license."
"For McAfee, I think it's already paid until 2023 because it's added on with the Windows 10 license pricing from Dell. I had to pay it on the Dell website, which includes the licensing cost of Windows 10 and McAfee."
"There is a yearly subscription for McAfee."
"The solution requires an annual license."
"There is a need to make payments towards the licensing costs of the product, but it is not too much, in my opinion."
"The solution could reduce the price of the solution. We are on an annual license."
"There is a yearly subscription cost for this solution."
"I rate the product pricing a seven out of ten."
"This is a freeware product and I recommend using it."
"The pricing is reasonable, with a yearly renewal license costing seventy dollars."
"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for ZoneAlarm, which is cheap."
"We use the free version of the software, but it can be upgraded to the paid Extreme Security edition."
