### "How do you protect your computer, you wonder? McAfee, I answer"

November 13, 2019

4.0

Its does its job. I don't think it is the best secutity program you can have. But its also in no way the worst. Its overall a great and affordable way to protect yourself.

Pros

Irs easy to use, you just have to instal it, set your setting in the beginning and that the program do your work. Its also pretty great at what it does, so you can browse the internet with the garanty you are protected.

Cons

The fact that it will pop up at the most inconvenintent times, but that just something you need to get used to. Because, honestly, it does its job.

### "Together is Power! "

December 17, 2020

5.0

Defense against ransomware is very important to me, because a friend's computer was hacked this way and they asked for a ransom. Then we cracked it and installed McAfee :)

Pros

The fact that it provides centrally managed defenses with integrated features such as endpoint detection and response (EDR) and machine learning analysis is great for use in business computers.

Cons

It's nice to be integrated but sometimes I think it slows down my work computer. But it may not be because of that, it would be better if someone enlightened it actually :)

### "I've been using it for two years"

March 20, 2018

4.0

My computer and files are more protected

Pros

It is compatible with Windows 7, 8 and 10, as well as with Mac, Linux and Windows, it has a free trial and excellent protection against malware, phishing attacks and viruses in emails. This latest update is one of the most complete on the market. By the way, you can also schedule the cleaning of the system at the time you want

Cons

If your computer, tablet or laptop has little RAM, it can get slow while the antivirus does its work which can be annoying for the user

### "Dragging and Lagging"

January 21, 2020

4.0

Overall I have felt as if all my assets have been protected by McAfee. However, I often debate whether or not it is worth it to keep McAfee due to the slowing of the system as a by product of using the software.

Pros

What I liked the most about McAfee was that the program provided many facets needed to protect the computer against threats, potential and current. McAfee does just about anything that any company would need to secure their IT portion of the company.

Cons

While McAfee has many positive components, there are several pitfalls. One of the most annoying pieces of this software is the constant notifying of updates, changes, and reactivations. Because they are so frequent, the computers slow down and lag. Other programs are slower to open than others. This alone makes me want to get rid of McAfee right away.

Alternatives considered

[Norton AntiVirus](https://www.capterra.com/p/648/Norton-Security/)[Malwarebytes for Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/251770/Malwarebytes-for-Business/)[AVG Internet Security Business Edition](https://www.capterra.com/p/199318/AVG-Internet-Security-Business-Edition/)

Reason for choosing Trellix Endpoint Security

McAfee was a name that I trusted and have had extensive experience with McAfee in the past. Despite having some qualms about the quirks of the software, it was worth keeping it for the protection.

### "An Amazing Software to protect your Network and regular Devices."

September 18, 2019

5.0

McAfee doesn't only eliminate viruses and malicious attacks, it also provides you with a summary of the websites that you may have received the viruses from so that in the future you avoid those sites. This is a very distinctive and valuable feature for me and I am very satisfied with McAfee.

Pros

I like how simple and straightforward McAfee is. it is supposed to protect your device and it does it in the best possible way. it runs in the background so that it doesn't interrupt your work, whenever a threat occurs it will handle it and when you open McAfee it will give you a list of the threats and the sites where they came from so that you stay away from those sites in the future. Also, if you have a big company and are afraid of possible threats and malware online attacks, McAfee can protect your entire Network and establishment. it is very easy to administrate and control.

Cons

When you've been using McAfee for a long time, your PC might get slower over time as it keeps updating itself and using more and more CPU. However, if your device is strong enough, that should not be a problem!

### "Makes your computer run slower, like you have a virus already "

August 6, 2019

2.0

Pros

This software really does protect against viruses. It also can inspect your email and detect phishing emails or scams. For a large corporation it seems like a good idea to have some sort of security like this.

Cons

Many of the protections that this provides are already provided by Microsoft and apple for free. Microsoft defender is included in windows software and is designed to work well. This software really just seemed to make it run slower than if the software was just uninstalled.

### "100% protects you but can be slow at times"

August 29, 2018

4.0

I definitely would recommend this software over other security software out there. You want it to be 100% secure.

Pros

Since we have started using the software it has 100% blocked all viruses and trojans on my Mac and PC. It’s exactly the reason why people get security for their machines.

Cons

Due to its optimal security it provides it does come at a cost. On more than one occasion I would be working and my machine becomes slow and sluggish and you then realise it’s doing a deep scan of your machine so it’s secure.

### "Protection for your software"

August 22, 2018

5.0

When I want to open a webpage that is not secure it tells me right away, so will be my responsibility to open it or not. Also the best that I like is when someone send you spam in your email, it goes directly to no desire box.

Pros

It tells you and prevents you when there is document or webpage that is not secure, it updates security, wonderful tool to work safetly.

Cons

The standard one only protects one device, you will need to buy another one with up to 5 or 10 devices or computers to protect. But for 1 computer you are more than ok.

### "This software has allowed me to detect and stop threats immediately and effectively."

July 15, 2018

4.0

The continuous check of this antivirus allows detecting and eradicating a large number of threats, which lengthens and improves the useful life of my computer.

Pros

What I like most about this software is that it performs quick analyzes of spyware, malware and antivirus without generating interruptions. It is also very easy and practical to use

Cons

What I like the least about this software, is that with its use it slows considerably the internet browsing, in addition some viruses escape and it is not updated frequently.

### " It's a very good antivirus"

July 18, 2018

5.0

I have been using McAfee software for years and it is very good to protect our PC from computer viruses, besides it has several tools to block, manage our computer starting from the same program.

Pros

It is an excellent antivirus for our PC, it allows to identify, detect viruses, manage computer access, and protect computers from computer viruses, which makes it necessary to keep our computer safe.

Cons

The cost to renew license or buy the software is somewhat expensive, but it is a good software recommended for computers.

### "Best Antivirus software."

February 6, 2018

5.0

Great small business protection for companies who can afford a full time technician.

Pros

I was able to easily install this in a small business environment and deploy the software across the network without any hassles or software snags.

Cons

Little pain setting up the first time, but after that everything is easy. Upgrades should be easier to do instead of having to reinstall the entire suite together. Antivirus is no longer a threat and hoping that they get their act together to support malware.

### "Virus Protection for the Home Computer"

February 10, 2021

5.0

The benefit of using McAfee is value for your money and trust in the name. It is the first name that comes to mind when someone needs to buy virus software for their PC. I have had to contact customer support in the past and have had knowledgable people that could walk me through solutions.

Pros

I like McAfee for our home computers mostly for ease of use. It works quietly in the background but is easy to launch for immediate scans and updates. The engine is easy to navigate and the various functions easy to understand for someone who is not computer literate. Our computers have been virus free for years.

Cons

I don't really have any issues with the PC product. McAfee for Macs is not the same experience. Macs do get viruses but the McAfee version is not the same quality as the PC version. Having a number of computers in our home it is important to not have to spend a lot on individual licenses for each computer on the system.

### "PC watch dog"

August 28, 2020

4.0

One of the most reliable defender with the virus definitions updated regularly and the datas are safe ensuring smooth business operations.

Pros

McAfee has been the best antivirus screening applications used across the laptop, Pc & Mobile, Which blocks the web attacks and acts as a defender from malicious ware and keeps our data safe.

Cons

It makes the system slow at startup and takes few minutes for the system to be normal The second annoying thing is it takes a lot of time for full system scan which needs a fix.

### "More Trouble Than It's Worth."

September 13, 2018

2.0

Both myself and many people I know and have helped with their devices and PC's have had ample difficulty with this software. The persistence of the software to deliver pop ups and various information that one usually does not want to see is absolutely maddening. Even the process of eliminating the software from ones device is a pain in the neck.

Pros

\- I appreciate that it helps protects ones devices from viruses and scans internet links for safe browsing. - VERY easy to download, but comes with a catch...

Cons

\- Downloads with various other software, when downloading one thing, it sometimes hitches a ride onto ones computer without their knowledge (good business plan I suppose, very annoying though). - The software constantly doles out reminders and pop ups on startup, during the daily use of a device and sometimes obstructs ones daily routine on a device. - The software is an absolute pain to purge from a device, delivering more pop ups along the way, and sometimes not completely uninstalling. - The functionalities can be confusing and arbitrary, there may be too much for people who will never conceivably use all of the functions. - The software generally infuriates me whenever I come into contact with it, and not in an irrational way.

### "McAfee"

October 3, 2019

5.0

Everything has been perfect while using the software, we have kept the equipment safe from virus and different threats.

Pros

The software is very usefull in the protection of the equipment in the company, it keeps all our files safe, amd it also keep the computers from getting attacked by a virus that can completely ruin the machine.

Cons

the thing i liked the least about it is the way reports are shown at the end of every scan, im more of a visual person and would rather get more graph style information.

### "Not the sharpest tool..."

September 18, 2018

3.0

Every single PC in our organization with McAffee Endpoint Security installed (which was done by policy, so there was no way around it) became very sluggish, unresponsive and generally very frustrating to use. This is a very resource intensive software. And the worst part was how ineffective it was, letting all kinds of malware and spyware come right through, while blocking or alerting against legitimate applications. +

Pros

I honestly cannot think of anything positive about this software.

Cons

It didn't stopped threats to our systems and it slowed down computers immensely.

### "Good Protection"

January 4, 2019

5.0

Pros

The way it doesn't put load on my system, but offers an all round protection is what I like about it. Though it's an expected behaviour out of any security solution but actually having that experience for your customers requires a lot of efforts in making the right product. I browse freely and McAfee takes care of everything.

Cons

Cons. Honestly. None. But hey, there is always a room for improvement. Therefore, the UI can be slightly improved. That's it. It's a bang on.

### "McAfee is Still Synonymous with Security"

February 6, 2019

5.0

Never had any issues.

Pros

In today's world of identity theft, viruses, and fear of getting hacked, it's important to have a good security system on your computer. I primarily use this with PC and it's super easy to install and get running. I believe Endpoint has replaced older McAfee programs and is the modern more advanced security software.

Cons

It can take some time to scan and if you have it set on a schedule it can slow things down while you are working on your computer.

### "Protect your business, personal files or company secrets"

June 26, 2018

4.0

Pros

It doesn't matter for which purpose you use McAfee Endpoint security it is a great choice for your protection. If you use it in your personal computer McAfee Endpoint Security will protect your personal information from cyber attacks including your personal files, credit card numbers, visited websites and so on. It is also essential tool for companies. Nowadays most companies keep their future plans as secret from their rivals in order to keep their existence in the market.Therefore McAfee Endpoint security is main business companion of companies in maintaining their security.

Cons

It is a great choice when it comes to protection. But when you run complete scan your computer might work slower than usual. If your computer ram memory is high enough you will not feel it.

### "Excellent antivirus"

June 26, 2018

5.0

The greatest benefit is being able to be calm when working on the computer, without having to worry about the files and pages visited

Pros

Since the creation of McAfee, they have always integrated many technologies for the protection and security of the team, always up to date with new threats, it is an excellent antivirus that has everything in one place

Cons

It may take a while to analyze the files, but that guarantees greater protection against threats, does not have anything else that I don't like

### "Protection system against virus and malware light, reliable and safe, the best for your computer"

February 4, 2019

3.0

My team and I research a lot on the internet, we constantly review social networks and news pages, it's good to know that we have a tool that is 100% functional for us in protecting against malware and viruses, keeps our computers constantly protected

Pros

It is an excellent protection system against viruses and malware, you can automate notifications of virus threats, malware and any other threat online, easy to configure and use, it is light does not make your computer slower

Cons

The malware detection list is not very extensive so it does not detect some of these, for basic detections this is fine but if you want to deepen the revision of your computer is not the right system

### "Great anti-virus software with real-time scanning and easy integration"

November 6, 2018

4.0

Pros

McAfee endpoint security is really effective in detecting the latest malware signatures and it protect the computers through its real time and on demand scans. It has the ability to detect spyware effectively. McAfee endpoint security integrates well with the other McAfee security products like McAfee EPO. Software does not consume lot of hardware resources, so it can work smoothly in the background without affecting the performance of the computer.

Cons

Sometime blocks the software that is used in the enterprise and also automatically remove files it detects as malware without the confirmation from the user.

### "Disappointing product."

May 29, 2022

1.0

It made me very unsatisfied because it made my computer unusable.

Pros

I liked only one thing - it came as a free tool with the purchase of other tools. Nothing more.

Cons

This security system is one the worst that is on the market. It is much better not to have any, than to have McAfee Endpoint Security. It slows down your computer very much. It makes work almost impossible. I had a relatively new computer and after installation of this security system, computer became very slow. Did it provide any real protection? Also no. It did less job than native Windows security system. It felt that I had a parasite inside my computer. It made me extremely unhappy and it was resolved only after I uninstalled it from my computer. Also, its antivirus database was very weak.
