Trellix MOVE AntiVirus Reviews

We use McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for a number of things - the normal endpoint firewall, DLP, solidcore, and more. We have a solution that is at the server. Then we have super agents at the branches, because we are a bank. We use McAfee Data Exchange Layer. We use also use McAfee Endpoint Security. We have all the models that come under McAfee Endpoint Security.

The features that I have found most valuable are its ability to detect and delete known malware and the DLP in particular - that's to protect data loss to USB devices.

We are currently doing a project where we need assistance on the File Integrity Monitoring feature for McAfee as well as the ability to do classification of data. That feature is there for data protection. We need help to implement it properly.

They could improve the monitoring and classification of the data features.

Additionally, I want to experience the EDR of McAfee. Basically, EDR is the most potent threat now, that's the major concern for a lot of people. This is what is called the file-less attacks. Processes that run in memory, traditional antivirus software are not able to detect that. So the EDR feature has been made to provide the defense mechanism for the endpoint. Those processes can be stopped from running in memory once they are seen as malicious. That's what I understand EDR does. So I want to experience the EDR feature for McAfee to see how that compares with what we are currently using.

We have been using McAfee for more than 10 years. 

We have a local vendor that supports us.

The product is stable. It has worked for us over the years.

As I mentioned, we have this architecture of super agents across network branches. That's what we have done to ensure that, with respect to boundary constraints, only super agents pick up updates from the head office and distribute to the branches.

As a matter of fact, we've only done the deployment to a Microsoft environment. None for Linux or Unix. We haven't done any McAfee for Linux or Unix.

We can still improve on scalability. In fact, some of these things, also depend on other factors and not necessarily on the product. It's very important to put this thing in perspective. The operating environment challenges can also affect how scalable things can be. It's not necessary on the product.

I don't blame the scalability on the product, I am also looking at the operating environment.

I would rate the scalability a six or seven.

We are quite satisfied with customer support. We had a challenge about two years ago when we were not getting enough support. But the partner has been able to resolve that now.

We do have other anti-malware tools. That's because of the decision we made some time ago for file-less attack scenarios. Because we didn't have McAfee's EDR feature at the time we had to go for another product, specifically for EDR. We are thinking of evaluating EDR for McAfee sometime in the future to see whether we can consolidate our endpoint protection with only McAfee. So there's room for McAfee to evaluate EDR. That's the only feature that we don't have. 

In the past we tried ESET. I will say that McAfee happens to be a better product for us. Based on experience, if I'm comparing McAfee to ESET, I prefer McAfee. 

McAfee is not that easy, you need to be trained. But because we have an agreement with the vendor that supports us, they provide technical support and assistance to us anytime we need help for any kind of deployment. That's the arrangement that we have.

Deployment took about a month or so.

Going forward, we are trying to convince the vendor to give our in-house staff training to build some level of competence, which hasn't happened yet. That will be one of our medium-term or short-term goals.

We had different experiences. We have other challenges that affect our ability to deploy, which are internal challenges. Typically, deploying the solution should not be that difficult. It's all about getting the right resources to get a deployment done. It's not much of a big deal. It's all about our own internal challenges that we have to overcome.

McAfee is known to be one of the best anti-malware products out there. We are aware of what's happening in the industry.

The only advice I would give is to ensure there's a proper business arrangement in terms of the support. If there is no support from the vendor deploying the solution, then they must enforce training and knowledge transfer during the project implementation period so that there can be in-house support. Otherwise, they should have a kind of agreement that can confirm that the vendors can support them after deploying the solution.

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate McAfee MOVE AntiVirus an eight. 

We primarily use this solution to prevent virus attacks from outside of the organization.

The most valuable feature is the security, which is very effective compared to other products.

The resource utilization is very low, not consuming the same level of resources as Symantec.

The dashboard should be improved, as a more user-friendly version is required.

We have been using McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for five years.

This is a stable solution and it is being used 24/7.

We did not face any issues when we built up our infrastructure and increased our workload, so it is scalable. We have approximately 500 servers that it is deployed on.

When you first contact technical support, they simply show you articles. It is only after it is escalated that a person joins the call.

Prior to McAfee, I had used a similar solution from Symantec. I found that it was much more resource-intensive, although it was more user-friendly.

The complexity of the setup depends on the environment. We have multiple installations and in some cases, it is simple, whereas in others it is complicated. It took us between two and three months to deploy.

We had a third-party to assist with the deployment.

We have two or three people in our company who handle maintenance.

The licensing fees are billed on an annual basis.

We trust McAfee and as such, we did not evaluate other options.

My advice to anybody who is researching this solution is that it is very good for a virtual environment. I have not found any bugs, it is scalable, and overall a very good product. My only complaint is about the user interface.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We have about 100 users in our company and we are customers of McAfee. 

The interface is the most valuable feature - it works very well. 

I'm happy with the solution but the pricing could be improved, it's very expensive. 

I've been using this solution for about six years. 

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

I haven't had any issues with technical support. 

The initial setup was straightforward and took a short amount of time. 

I would rate this product an eight out of 10. 

The primary use case of this solution is to distribute endpoints to our clients for their networks.

The most valuable features are the integration with different modules like the DLP.

It's a complete endpoint and you can extend the endpoint using additional modules. This is at times useful for customers with a lot of different data that they don't want to lose, so they integrate it with a DLP module to check the USB drivers and USB mass storage as an example.

The advanced threat protection is not as good as the competitors.

They are not as fast as the other competitors in detecting new threats. They can be anywhere from half a day to a day behind the other solutions before detecting the threat.

The admin interface is very old. 

In the next release, they could refresh the GUI. It would be appreciated.

I have been using this solution for two years.

This solution is stable.

It works with no problem at all.

At present, we have not scaled this solution as our clients are not large enough with only two hundred and fifty clients.

The technical support is not the best on the market, but it's not bad.

It can be difficult to speak to them. The last time that we had an issue they responded in a couple of hours and we received the file the next business day. It could have been faster.

At the present time, they are working well.

We did not evaluate other solutions.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

I have been using this solution for six months. We use the private on-prem deployment model. Our primary use case is for clients who have big environments. For VDIs it's a nightmare to install security software to all of the VMs. It's a bottleneck for resource consumption and highers the data consumption costs. For example, let's say we have 1,000 VMs and we want to scan all of them with an agent-based solution, it eats up a lot of resources. A company offers agentless solutions, they prepare a VM and they scan the VMs without installing an agent. That VM will take care of the scan. McAfee MOVE minimizes a lot of the overhead. 

Sophos only provides signature-based scanning, a basic antivirus. It is not enough for an advanced attack or advanced threat. It's weak. McAfee can integrate with the existing fabric. I really like this aspect. It enables all of the security parts to talk to each other. McAfee synchronizes security across the security fabric. They cross communicate. This is one aspect that is a huge gap with other security products. McAfee minimizes the threats.

They could try to introduce advanced threat detection. This could be a huge improvement because some customers don't want to buy the entire McAfee product. It should product from unknown threats as well. 

I would like to ability to mitigate advanced threats. It should be a bit stronger. 

It's fairly stable. It's used a lot. 

It's pretty scalable. It has a module architecture. 

Their technical support is generally responsive and has good resolutions for issues. They respond quickly. 

I am very familiar with Sophos.

The initial setup complexity will depend on your deployment model. There is an agent-based or a non-agent based deployment with integrates with VMware NSX. 

The deployment can take around an hour and configuring it also doesn't take much time. Any agent-based solution can take some time. The non-agent based one will only take a few hours. It really varies on the environment. 

Take a look at the other McAfee products. It integrates with other products and vendors which is unique to other vendors. No vendor is perfect in security and no vendor can provide a solution to all security problems. Having this ability is revolutionary. It enables you to combine the best of each vendor. McAfee is the way to go for threat intelligence. 

I would rate McAfee MOVE an eight out of ten. 

I use the solution for my personal needs. It helps me monitor threats and viruses.

Whenever I scan my device, the product detects threats and viruses.

The solution is fast. It protects my computer. I like the dashboards. It helps in monitoring systems. The solution would be helpful to any organization. It is very user-friendly.

The product must use AI to detect and block unwanted viruses automatically. Such a feature will be very useful.

I have been using the solution for one year.

The tool is stable.

The installation was quite easy and simple. The deployment can be done in-house.

I like to use endpoint security products like SentinelOne and Microsoft Defender.

I will recommend the solution to others. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

My primary use case is to provide security for devices used by our workers.

This product keeps our organization's devices secure.

The most valuable features of this product are the updated database, the low consumption of resources, and that you can leave it working in the background and it doesn't need any attention.

In the next release, I would like to see some news about the latest ransomware and viruses in the product's database.

I've been using this solution for about three years.

This solution is scalable.

I would recommend this solution to others - it does its job without supervision, and I have had no viruses or ransomware on my computer since installing it. I would rate this solution as nine out of ten.

We use McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for security.

I have found McAfee MOVE AntiVirus more secure than other antivirus solutions.

I have been using McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for three years.

The solution is stable.

McAfee MOVE AntiVirus has been scalable.

We have approximately 800 users using this solution in my organization.

We have used AVG previously. McAfee is a more stable product and this is why we switched.

The installation does not require much time to complete.

I did the implementation of the solution.

The solution could reduce the price of the solution. We are on an annual license.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate McAfee MOVE AntiVirus a nine out of ten.
