### "McAfee Endpoint Security Review"

September 24, 2021

5.0

MacAfee endpoint security is a well-known and trustworthy brand to secure our digital assets from hackers. We use MacAfee drive encryption in our organization for the safety of our assets and data. It offers extensive protection against a range of viruses and malware. McAfee has a lot of features that I enjoy.

Pros

It features a user interface that is simple to understand and navigate. McAfee is extremely simple to set up and keep up with. It protects me against fraudulent websites while I'm surfing the web using my browser. McAfee is constantly updated to stay up with new viruses or malware to ensure that our systems are continuously protected. It appears to be a highly advanced data protection program.

Cons

This software can cause the computer to slow down sometimes. Apart from that, I can't think of anything negative to say about this software.

### "McAfee Endpoint Security Is Solid As A Rock!!"

August 26, 2021

5.0

I have a complete piece of mind all the time when using my PC. This software takes actions against threats immediately so as long as it's updated, I am never worried about cyber attacks.

Pros

This software comes with a defensive technology designed to protect your PC, correct your PC and detect malware/viruses on your PC throughout the lifecycle of an attack by using advanced machine learning and reputation-based counter-measures. Easy to use and even easier to manage, it becomes more intelligent as new attacks become more intelligent.

Cons

I find that the software does pop-up a lot to make you aware of its presence on your PC. At times while I'm busy watching content on my computer, it likes to advertise its new features inappropriately but I would rather be safe than sorry so I just minimize it.

Reason for choosing Trellix Endpoint Security

McAfee has been a brand I have trusted for years and although Avast was becoming rather popular in recent years, I felt more comfortable using what has never let me down before.

### "Good protection against viruses and malwares. "

March 3, 2020

5.0

We have been using McAfee Endpoint Security for years. The software is so successful for protecting your endpoints. If you use this software with McAfee ePO which is centralized security management software, you can easily configure, use and manage

Pros

McAfee Endpoint Security is one of the most important security software in our company. The software is so good in malware and virus protection. McAfee Endpoint Security not only protects against viruses and/or malwares but also has fabuluous functionality to repair infected files. Also, software has an excellent reporting capabilities.

Cons

The software requires a lot of RAM, because of consumption of McAfee resources is so high. Computers slow down while scanning. Antiphishing capability is little bit poor.

### "nothing gets past McAfee without getting thoroughly checked"

July 8, 2021

5.0

My devices never suffered from malware infiltration or crashes while I used McAfee because it was designed to effectively pre-empt and remove threats before they cause irredeemable damage to devices or cause damage and loss of files. Also, protection extended to both online and offline activity. Ignoring the pricing lapses and stubborn notifications, it has been a really great product to use.

Pros

Malware detection was very potent, often catching viruses and other threat forms on thumb drives cleared by other devices operating different anti-virus software. The added password management feature certainly adds a secondary level of security and device access management. Finally, I admire how it conducts real time threat assessments in the background without interfering with your ongoing tasks, and only calls for action only when certain kinds of threats are detected. The automation of many of the key processes is really great for undisrupted workflow.

Cons

The constant notifications on product upgrades was very annoying, and somehow could never be disabled because it kept popping up regardless. Secondly, the pricing packages are a bit murky and unclear.

Reason for choosing Trellix Endpoint Security

Most of my colleagues were using McAfee and recommended it as being a great product.

### "Peace of mind for small network"

February 26, 2021

4.0

During several years, I used different version of MacAfee and find it a better solution for small size network or even home laptops. With MAcafee Endpoint application, there is no single point of fail. I would recommend constant backup and plenty of Ram for the main server.

Pros

It has great protection for my small network and all systems are under protection umbrellas by this software. Scheduling regular scan is easy and manual scan is easier. The detection level and its guard is higher than free app(Like windows defender). Updating the app is so easy and reporting is available. the interface and the main menu is also easy to work and very user friendly.

Cons

It controls the search engine and sometime changes it to standard useless Yahoo search. it makes the boot or first startup a bit slower and one may feel total computer speed is slower. However it becomes good after some seconds

### "MacAfee…Maybe"

September 9, 2021

5.0

I really like McAfee I think it’s a solid fortress for any computer any where. It has unbeatable fire walls and the darn thing won’t let the dust bear your machine.

Pros

What I like is that this software is like having an army wrapped around my computer. It lets nothing go unnoticed, very secure and inexpensive

Cons

What I like least about this is the alerts are a bit over whelming and disruptive. There are several alarms which are interruptions when in the middle of a project

Switched from

[Norton AntiVirus](https://www.capterra.com/p/648/Norton-Security/)

I switched because Norton was not alarming me when there were threats in my system and it had minimal features at that time it’s been years ago.

### "An effective antivirus product from one of the leading security companies"

November 26, 2019

4.0

We use McAfee Endpoint Security as a primary security solution to protect our infrastructure nodes. We have also integrated it with McAfee EPolicyOrchestrator (EPO) in order to manage all the ENS nodes from a single console.

Pros

Its ability to integrate seamlessly in all the major OS (Windows, Linux, Mac OS) and granular level of customization to suit specific needs are one of the greatest features in ENS. Also, with its additional modules, we can further enhance its capabilities to achieve maximum protection.

Cons

It would be better if it has the feature of determining the missing critical OS updates.

Alternatives considered

### "Wonderful safe and secure platform for securing everything"

September 17, 2020

4.0

It is very good tool which really concerns about your security. It provides you security protocols across multiple tools. Not only this but it helps me in data protection and secure sending of emails and also helps in loss prevention. It never interrupts my work and carries out its job at the background, thus provides me quality services and prevents my system form unwanted threats. We are very much satisfied by its functioning.

Pros

I am having unpredictable experience with McAfee Endpoint Security. It plays a very significant role in securing every organization. It saves my important files and valuable data safe from getting corrupt by blocking malicious viruses or unwanted threats. In this way it also secures the memory of our systems. It saves much of our precious time in fixing such type of problems created by viruses. It performs functions at a very faster rate.

Cons

Sometimes when it blocks web address or pages or blocks any pop ups related to those websites that I really need, so I have to unblock them over and over.

### ""Tight security. Thumbs up""

Simply industrious software. A tool that has given wholesome security and protection for our systems.

Pros

I can have a million reasons to like this software. It means a lot to me and my career. The cost is very reasonable considering the scoop of problems it helps to solve. The software itself is quite easy to use and involves some straight forward security features. Its reliability is very high and definitely gives accurate notifications.

Cons

Having used this software for long, I have been used to its features and I find it simple and easy to use. I have no complaints.

### "Absolutely Perfect "

September 30, 2018

5.0

In summary, There is 95% perfection in this construction and functionality of this state-of-the-art Anti-Virus judging by the frequent update and the reliability it gives its users (Like myself). I have used it for 3 months and it is really Excellent! Thanks again to the Admins...you guys are doing great!

Pros

Honestly, I have used so many antiviruses like Avast Pro, Kaspersky, Bitdefender, Emsisoft Anti-Malware, etc. But, I fell in love with this antivirus (McAfee Endpoint Security) because of some cogent reasons and benefits which are: It gives me the ease and comfort of getting rid of malicious viruses on a regular based using the programmable real time scanning functionality. Even when I forget to set the scanning schedule due to my busy nature as the Senior IT specialist in my Firm, the Microsoft Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) performs checks at regular intervals to determine the user Idle state: this is the point where the auto scan starts and surprisingly, your next activities will be as swift as possible after the full scan is completed. With this auto scan feature, I am always confident and reliant that all my Company’s data are safe and secured. Another great feature of this software is that there is frequent update which makes it equal to the task to combat even the most sophisticated virus…this is indeed a great one and Kudos to the Admins!

Cons

Oh Yes! this App is great. But, I would like the Admins to update it to be bale to let you know the infected files (which could contain some invaluable date) before eliminating them—to avoid loss of irredeemable documents and information...Very Important.

My overall experience will this software is great and I love it.

Pros

What I liked most about this software is that you can manage all of the open threats to your devices and keep them safe beforehand something happens to them.

Cons

What I liked least about this software is that they will send many emails once you scan one of your devices but that is also a good thing because you will know what is up with your devices at all times.

Reason for choosing Trellix Endpoint Security

I choose this software because it had all of the things I would need for my business and to keep all of my devices safe.

### "McAfee provides you Security"

March 18, 2019

5.0

Security and protection for your device is easier and lighter with McAfee Endpoint Security.

Pros

I started using on my current job McAfee Endpoint Security as it's the security software used at my workplace. I've had a good experience with it, many threats detected before they could do any harm. The impact on the performance of the device is negligible, you don't feel that there's a security software running on your machine the whole time. The included firewall also works great. I also like the stats or insights this software provides, which tells you how many threats were identified in the last 30 days, the last time a threat was eliminated, and much more. Also the event log shows you every action with more details.

Cons

Not too much to complain about it. I think the only think I don't like too much is that it's not too customizable, but I haven't had the need to customize it either, so not a big issue.

### "Good security, but not perfect"

December 20, 2019

4.0

McAfee has been a good security software for a while. The computers using this have not been impacted by any sort of ransomware or malware. One of our other offices did not use this and downloaded some ransomware that almost cost us years of files, but we contacted an emergency IT team who solved the problem and recommended better security.

Pros

\* We can use one account for all of the computers at our offices, so no need to buy individual licenses/programs for each one \* Established program that is always updating and trying to stay ahead

Cons

\* No security program is perfect. There are some threats that definitely go undetected by this. I use this in conjunction with a few free tools from Malwarebytes to keep all of the computers free of problems

### "McAfee Endpoint Security - Total Endpoint Security"

February 8, 2022

4.0

Overall with McAfee Endpoint Security and other McAfee security products that are implemented within the network, total security against various threats is satisfying.

Pros

All new machine learning feature of McAfee Endpoint Security is one of the best in the market. It surely helps to mitigate and detect zero day threats .

Cons

It will be much more convenient if McAfee Endpoint Security has more customizable reports with a separate dashboard for reports.

Reason for choosing Trellix Endpoint Security

As other security products such as McAfee DLP endpoint was already implemented, it was easy to carry out the initial rollout and integrate through McAfee e-policy orchestrator

### "The original AV for Business"

February 22, 2019

5.0

We've have had a positive experience with it. With growing pains, we were able to get it installed on our 2012 server, and checking for updates each day. It's very easy from the control panel to see what clients are out of date or which clients haven't checked in. It's very easy to push updates downstream and do it silently from the user. Would recommend for any business environment.

Pros

Easy to manage, migrate, and deploy software to network computers Easy to add additional users to subscription Easy to use admin panel to push down updates instead of having 100+ clients download updates individually.

Cons

Price - it can be pretty pricey as gaps in the software is for 1-25 users and then 25-50, so having 26 users causes you to pay for another 24 users you may not use. Setup can be a bit cumbersome if you don't designate a server or set one up, as you have to go in and manually turn off syncs and install it in stand-alone mode.

September 2, 2021

5.0

Overall it is very good for home use & a quite small network offices, value for money & providing basic needed security.

Pros

I've been using McAfee for home endpoint security & what i like most about it is that it is affordable for home users & the license can serve several Endpoints, it makes us safely surf the web & not worrying about any basic security issues

Cons

The least i like about it is its continuous pop ups to announce what it has caught, plus it is a bit resource intensive, using high memory of the PC

### "A Good enterprise security tool"

June 3, 2019

4.0

A great product, working as intended. Implementation was easy and fast, when our org implemented the tool, they just pushed the installation remotely to all devices connected to our enterprise network and installation was don in minutes. Did not notice any impact on my laptops overall performance.

Pros

Implementation was easy. Seamless proactive protection. It is integrated to our enterprise security information and event management. It has least/no impact on the performance of our workstations. With the number of blocked incidents reported, I can say that this solution functions as intended.

Cons

It's firewall feature seems to have an incompatibility issue with our laptops and in our cloud service provider. Though it rooted from our organization's poor planning in acquiring the software, I think its still worth mentioning just a heads up for anyone to consider these incompatibility issues.

### "10 Stars!"

May 3, 2019

5.0

I truly have had an awesome experience with McAfee and I would come back to this service, time and time because it truly is worth it. It eliminates problems and provides top of the line protection, so that I don't then have to problem solve. So, if I had to name this software, I would consider it to be the Ultimate problem solver.

Pros

I've been using this security protect for the past 4 years on my MacBook. It hands down is the best in comparison to its competitors. I love that I don't need to actively do anything, to ensure that I am protected, it simply works in the background. It was truly a great investment, as, I kid you not, I have never had one single scare or worry. I know that I am safe because, the program runs malware checks and updates every day and once for the week, every two days. I also like that the interface is easy to navigate, if I decide to do a manual scan of everything on my computer, I simply have to click scan. Not a lot of different steps and the reports are always clear and easy to understand.

Cons

Its so good at times, I almost forget about it. It would be good, if I were to get periodic notifications. Also, the scans do take a really long time to complete, so you have to be prepared to not use your computer for a good hour and a half.

### "A good defense for your business network."

February 2, 2018

4.0

If you have to protect a very large business network, this software is perfect for you, has very high security standards and will guarantee the security of your company, protecting against hacker attacks and malicious software.

Pros

McAfee Endpoint Security presents a very complete security proposal for your business networks, it is very useful when you manage a very large network and require complete security, it has several features that allow you to configure who uses your company's network, preventing access to low security sites and downloads that may contain malicious software, also preventing access to personnel without permissions, allowing separate networks for guests, this guarantees the security of your company, also preventing the attack of hackers, as it limits access and protects the network by layers of privileges and security.

Cons

Although it offers a very complete service, its main advantage is its high consumption of resources, it requires a lot of hardware power for its correct operation, sometimes it is so safe that it costs to configure proxies since it limits or blocks them too much and sometimes this makes the job very difficult.

### "Effective corporate endpoint protection with a lot of features"

August 8, 2018

4.0

It keeps secured every computer on the network. We can focus on new ideas while McAfee Endpoint Security takes care of security.

Pros

Managing and protecting your personal files, documents and business plans became essential issue in nowadays. To stay ahead of competitors in the market you should apply advanced technologies and protect your new plans. Therefore you will need effective corporate endpoint protection. Among corporate endpoint security products my company’s choice is McAfee Endpoint Security. Because it delivers maximum security with complete protection against attacks and infections. Another advantage of McAfee Endpoint Security is compatibility. You can use it almost in any operating system. After observing McAfee Endpoint Security’s success in our company I switched to it on my personal computer too. McAfee Endpoint Security is also available in mobile devices. I use an android device and I have entrusted my phone’s security to McAfee Endpoint Security too.

Cons

All is great but whenever full scan starts my computer starts working slower than usual.But I can stand for it as long as it keeps my files secured.

### "Advanced security and realtime protection"

June 27, 2018

4.0

It saved my computer from infection several times.Thanks to it my files are safe and secure.

Pros

For me the best feature of McAfee Endpoint Security is realtime protection. Whenever I visit any website if the website contains anything dangerous it prevents me opening such websites. Usually such websites seems user friendly and family friendly. Maybe they will not steal your information, but most of them infect your computer and show you disturbing ads. I came across with such cases in my personal experience but after installing McAfee Endpoint Security all kind of malwares detected and deleted. McAfee Endpoint Security is also using machine learning system which is improving itself while detecting new viruses. It updates virus database regularly to maintain more advanced security.

Cons

Sometimes it reacts while installing a new software which is safe. It is a little annoying but considering that there would be some thread or infection I think I can stand for it.

### "full-featured signature-based endpoint client which can be configured to meet own needs"

March 8, 2018

4.0

A stable endpoint client with solid server-based tools to administer it even in large deployments of hundreds or thousands of endpoints. Good overview over the dashboards and good opportunities to drill down to the issues with a few clicks and keep a healthy environment running.

Pros

The EPO server which is used to manage the endpoint client offers an impressive and quite complete set of tools to administer the directory environment through policies, server tasks, client tasks and pretty much all you need. this makes the product very comfortable to administer for IT departments. the client - given the important applications have been whitelisted, which is key to any antivirus deployment and needs discipline and continuous effort - is reasonably stable and does not misuse resources on the endpoint workstations.

Cons

I did not encounter any specific downside while implementing and using this piece of software. I did not have much direct contact with support, this happened only a few times since I have been setting up this with a vendor. But I was not impressed with the reaction time and helpfulness of the service, although it was still very acceptable.

### "Makes system slow and does not make a great difference"

July 27, 2019

4.0

I have sweet and sour experience with McAfee. Initially i really like this but slowly as it starting impact my laptops and PC, i started searching alternatives to it and this made my life easier. I no longer paid for the subscription and simply used windows defender.

Pros

McAfee gives the summary of active threats and the threats it has handled. Also, possible files or software if ran can prove harmful for system. Every time it ran, it provided a summary and that gives me a list of files and figuring out the sites i should not be using.

Cons

I did not like the updates. Like every day you switch on laptop there is one new update. I find it quite annoying. I had the premium version and felt it makes my system slow at times. Post installation when i just had widows defender, i found it does equally good job without impacting system's performance.
