    It is well suited for big organizations like banks and multi nationals who can afford the cost and data security is high priority and highly desired. Whereas it is not well suited for small organizations with little budget. There should be product models where it can provide cost effective solutions for small organisations as well.

    I think McAfee is great to have whether it's for work or for personal use. While it has some drawbacks, I like the peace of mind of feeling safe when I'm browsing the web/email, especially when my computer has sensitive/confidential information, knowing that McAfee will immediately detect any threats. The UI is extremely easy to navigate, which makes it easy for users regardless of how tech-savvy they are.

    I have found Mcafee as one of the best security software as compare to the others. The other security products I have used so far are Norton utilities, Symantec. Kaspersky, avg, avast. one of the reason for mcafee being better is that it does not bother the user every time for system check or fake warnings.

    I haven't used Norton for a while, but when I did use it I felt that it slowed down my computer and had constant pop-ups, which were both equally frustrating and annoying. It was also very difficult to remove from my computer. Malwarebytes is a great, straightforward program I've used for virus scanning. It's pretty bare bones but I think if you just want something to scan for viruses it gets the job done quickly and reliably. In my opinion McAfee offers similar benefits as Norton but its more intuitive and doesn't impact system performance.

    • The resource security ensures business system continuity against any contingency
    • Work interruptions due to malware and other threats are minimzed
    • It ensures long term use of the IT systems. Eg if Windows is corrupted every day then you will incur extra cost for reinstall. It saves cost.
