A stable product needs to be made more secure
Pros and Cons
  • "There is no problem with the stability of the product...It is a scalable solution."
  • "McAfee MOVE AntiVirus needs to be made more secure, as it is one of the areas where the product lacks."

What is our primary use case?

I use the tool sometimes because it is convenient to check viruses and malware attacks and keep a check on emails.

What is most valuable?

I like the product's anti-malware features. I think the product is easy to use and is stable. In Japan, many people use Trend Micro, but I use McAfee.

What needs improvement?

As an antivirus software that is sold in many countries abroad, the product needs to focus more on localization. McAfee MOVE AntiVirus needs to be made more secure, as it is one of the areas where the product lacks.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for two or three years.

881,821 professionals have used our research since 2012.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

There is no problem with the stability of the product.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution.

How are customer service and support?

I don't use the product's technical support because I work as a system engineer, and for me, it is not difficult to install or maintain. For some people, installing and maintaining the product may be difficult.

How was the initial setup?

The product's initial setup phase is easy, but if McAfee is installed on other devices, such as smartphones, the installation can get a little bit difficult.

The solution can be deployed in an hour or two, but I can't remember the exact time.

What about the implementation team?

I managed the installation of the product.

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

There is a need to make payments towards the licensing costs of the product, but it is not too much, in my opinion.

What other advice do I have?

McAfee's support and prices differ from country to country. In Japan, if a user buys one McAfee software to use for a long time, it can be installed for multiple devices.

If someone wants to install a product for multiple clients, I suggest McAfee. In Japan, Trend Micro is preferred as it is convenient to use, and support is not so difficult to get since Trend Micro's head office is in Japan. For normal people, I suggest Trend Micro. If one person wants to install the product on many PCs, then I suggest McAfee.

I rate the overall tool a seven out of ten.

Expandable with good antivirus aspects but lacks stability
Pros and Cons
  • "It can scale quite well."
  • "The solution uses up a lot of memory, which is a major issue."

What is our primary use case?

We have used it as an antivirus, not web protection. We deployed it on all the endpoints and all the Windows servers.

What is most valuable?

The antivirus aspect was great that's what we were most focused on. 

It can scale quite well. 

What needs improvement?

The solution needs better stability. There are a lot of issues.

The solution uses up a lot of memory, which is a major issue. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been using the solution for three or four years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is not stable. It's something that needs to be worked on. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is very scalable. It's not an issue at all if you want to expand. 

That said, it is deployed at either the endpoint of the server, not everywhere. 

We don't have more than three people directly on the solution. Hardly one or two people use it at any given time. We do not have plans to increase usage at this time as in general we have not had a good experience with the product.

How are customer service and support?

I've never dealt with technical support. I would not be able to rate their services. 

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

We are now switching over to CrowdStrike and leaving McAfee. 

I'm not sure what we used previous to McAfee.

How was the initial setup?

I did not handle the setup myself. 

In terms of deployment and management, we had a team of six people on it. They were managing the solution and the setup process. 

What about the implementation team?

This product is completely handled by the compliance team, which is part of our team. They do the complete setup.

What other advice do I have?

We did not have a good experience with McAfee. I would not recommend them to others. 

Overall, I'd rate the product five out of ten. It needs to develop better stability.
