What about the implementation team?

We worked with external consultants. I don't know exactly what the scope was, however. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We bought a four-year license for the product. We're under a contract with them for that amount of time.

A comprehensive solution that comes with a lot of protection features and does its job
Pros and Cons
  • "The package of protection that it provides is useful. It has antivirus, malware protection, VPN, and a whole bunch of other features."
  • "They can make it free, but that's not going to happen."

What is most valuable?

The package of protection that it provides is useful. It has antivirus, malware protection, VPN, and a whole bunch of other features.

It is just there in the background and does its job. Every once in a while, it reminds me that it is doing its job.

What needs improvement?

They can make it free, but that's not going to happen.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for about a year. It seems to be the current version.

So far I have no issues. It is very stable, and does not tale a lot of CPU or memory resources, which was a problem in older products.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I am using it on a personal computer, so scalability is not an issue.

How are customer service and technical support?

I have not used their support.

How was the initial setup?

Its setup is very easy and straightforward.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Its price is reasonable. Setup was easy.

What other advice do I have?

I would advise others to get the most comprehensive protection that they can. For me, it meant McAfee, but there are other good solutions around.

Easy to use, stable, and not heavy on system resources
Pros and Cons
  • "FireEye Endpoint Security is easy to use and lightweight compared to others."
  • "Most of these types of solutions including others, such as Carbon Black and FortiEDR, all have the same features. However, Carbon Black is the leader when it comes to being robust and user-friendly and this solution should improve in those areas to stay more competitive."

What is our primary use case?

We are using this solution for endpoint security against cyber attacks.

What is most valuable?

FireEye Endpoint Security is easy to use and lightweight compared to others.

What needs improvement?

Most of these types of solutions including others, such as Carbon Black and FortiEDR, all have the same features. However, Carbon Black is the leader when it comes to being robust and user-friendly and this solution should improve in those areas to stay more competitive.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using FireEye Endpoint Security for a couple of months.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This solution is scalable. However, it could improve to be able to be handle large-scale operations. The OS most systems are running I am not sure it can handle a lot of nodes but many companies are coming out with cloud options that should be able to manage much more nodes.

How are customer service and technical support?

Technical support can take some time to respond on the first level. They could improve the speed at which they resolve and handle support.

What about the implementation team?

We have an administrator and engineer that does the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I have evaluated Carbon Black and FortiEDR.

What other advice do I have?

I would not recommend this solution to others. However, if you have a small budget then this solution could be a second option.

I rate FireEye Endpoint Security an eight out of ten.

  • "The DLP and user interface are the most valuable feature."
  • "I would recommend this solution."

    What is our primary use case?

    We use the solution for security.

    What is most valuable?

    The DLP and user interface are the most valuable feature.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using McAfee Endpoint Security for the past four months.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The solution is stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    The solution is scalable.

    We have approximately 500 users using the solution daily in my organization.

    A high detection rate for a solution that is always improving
    Pros and Cons
    • "The detection is great and the solution is constantly improving."
    • "Leaving aside the fact that I sell this solution, when it comes to endpoint security solutions the world over, McAfee is one of the best, if not the best."
    • "It would be nice if the solution were to allow not just on-cloud management, but on-premises, as well."

    What is our primary use case?

    We are using the latest version at the moment because I'm managed by the MVISION tenants.

    In the past, many people had issues with the utilization of detections and resources. ENS is actually very good for detection. When properly configured, especially when the prevention feature is activated, it integrates very well with the ATP, in respect of the endpoint. ATP offers very good protection and is a rich solution which helps to remove ransomware. I've been using the product for a while now and been able to secure a lot of environmental ransomware attacks, as well as some others, by integrating the ATP with the ENS. 

    What is most valuable?

    It is of primary importance that the solution does not cripple my system. When an endpoint is sitting on one's computer a struggle ensues involving resources, since the endpoint is actually scanning. At present, it either does not do so or is not noticeable. The detection rate is very high and one can be certain that he is not getting false positives, since he can see if the policy is properly configured. 

    The detection is great and the solution is constantly improving. 

    What needs improvement?

    It would be nice if the solution were to allow not just on-cloud management, but on-premises, as well. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using McAfee Endpoint Security for a couple of years. I started with Virus Scan and moved to MVISION when it was introduced. I used ENS when it was made available. While I cannot remember for certain, I believe I have been using the solution since 2015 or 2016. I still use it. 

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The solution is very stable. Proper configuration means that we have not had issues with the stability. When all is said and done, the landscape is shifting towards one involving EDR, which is necessary for one to feel he has complete endpoint protection. 

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    The solution is scalable. 

    How are customer service and technical support?

    While there is a need to utilize technical support, I feel it to be fair. Overall, support will point one in a certain, or appropriate, direction, although they will occasionally ask that the person solve the problem on his own. The process may take longer if the issue involves the product. Proper escalation can shorten the resolution process. While I have occasionally had to solve the problem by myself, more often than not the support is very helpful and reliable, especially of late. 

    How was the initial setup?

    The deployment is simple and very straightforward, including when one wishes to deploy in the cloud.

    What about the implementation team?

    Deployment can be handled on one's own. Most deployments are the same. When deploying in the cloud, there is only a need to click several times on the link that is sent. There's nothing to it. Anybody can actually do the installation. It's very straightforward.

    We are distributors although, as an engineer, I handle everything, including integration. 

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    McAfee's prices are flexible and can be quite competitive, although there are other solutions that are even more so. Most end-users don't focus on which solution is better, but on which one is most cost-effective. 

    Our customers must pay for the licensing involved in using the solution, which they do so annually. Yet, the majority of our customers deploy the solution on-premises, which means their licenses are perpetual. There is still a need to pay for support, however, and this must be renewed annually. 

    What other advice do I have?

    The solution does a fine job of integration. 

    It is deployed in the cloud. 

    My organization is very big. Like I said, we're systems integrators. As we are a distribution company, I am in a position to speak from a technical point of view. I've actually seen environments that reach 16,000. I did the deployment for a bank in Ghana, which is under the management of the Pan-African Bank and is responsible for management throughout all of Africa, save for Nigeria. This involved around 15,000 nodes. There is another bank in Nigeria with between 4,000 to 6,000 nodes and still others with around 12,000. 

    I would definitely recommend this solution to other users. Leaving aside the fact that I sell this solution, when it comes to endpoint security solutions the world over, McAfee is one of the best, if not the best.

    Flexible, easy to use, and scalable
    Pros and Cons
    • "It's easy to use."
    • "The solution is stable and reliable."
    • "It would be nice if the solution was a bit more stable."

    What is our primary use case?

    The product is installed in the center and we install a product in it and give it to our customers.

    What is most valuable?

    The solution is pretty stable and reliable.

    The product is very flexible.

    It's easy to use.

    There is scalability available. 

    What needs improvement?

    It would be nice if the solution was a bit more stable. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I've been using the solution for a number of years at this point.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The solution is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    The product can scale. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so.

    We have a few hundred users that are on the solution. 

    How are customer service and technical support?

    We haven't required any help from technical support so far. I've never actually been in contact with them.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    We are just using McAfee. We don't use any other solution. 

    How was the initial setup?

    I did not handle the installation. McAfee is already installed in the servers and then we or the customers get the servers. Therefore, we don't have to actually do anything regarding McAfee. It's already installed in there.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    We purchased the enterprise edition.

    The payment part is handled from the management side. We don't do anything regarding payment. Therefore, I can't speak to exact pricing.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    We did not evaluate any other solutions before taking on this solution.

    What other advice do I have?

    We are a customer and an end-user.

    We are likely using the latest version of the solution, however, I cannot speak to the exact version number. 

    I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been mostly happy with its capabilities. 

    I'd recommend the product to other users and companies. 

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    All of the programs can be administered from one console
    Pros and Cons
    • "The thing that I like is that they have gathered almost all the products in one management server, the ePolicy Orchestrator."
    • "McAfee offers an integrated solution, and it covers almost all the possibilities of data loss."
    • "It can be quite complicated to learn McAfee Endpoint Security and to feel comfortable with the environment."

    What is most valuable?

    The thing that I like is that they have gathered almost all of the products in one management server, the ePolicy Orchestrator. Although, it is quite complicated to learn it and to feel comfortable with the environment, you have the flexibility to administer all of the programs from one console.

    Regarding the DLP product, there are many flavors.

    Also, I haven't seen any data leakage through the endpoint.

    McAfee offers an integrated solution, and it covers almost all the possibilities of data loss.

    What needs improvement?

    If we go to, for example, scanning data from text to just pictures, then the loader goes really high. It might sometimes become impossible to cover all these fixes because the data that are gathered and are processed are very big, and the resources can run out.

    It can be quite complicated to learn McAfee Endpoint Security and to feel comfortable with the environment.

    The technical support can be improved.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I've been working with this solution for five years.

    How are customer service and technical support?

    I would rate McAfee's technical support at seven on a scale from one to ten. There were some issues that we experienced.

    What other advice do I have?

    Even though it took me one or two years to get comfortable with it, I would rate McAfee Endpoint Security at nine on a scale from one to ten. All-in-all, our customers seem to be okay with some of the restrictions and the relevant risk with McAfee Endpoint Security.
