    Suited in almost all situations as it has a server less option where if your end device cannot bear the load of an agent, it could be used to protect the network. The comprehensive dashboarding and its integration with Microsoft Defender 365 and Sentinel allows automated remediation and full incident investigation at a single pane. If you don't have a 24*7 SOC team this ca come handy as you can automate workbooks and scripts to run with custom triggers. I haven't faced any scenario where it is not a suitable choice.

    [McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator] seems to be better suited to large enterprise applications... I don't feel it really suits the or self-managed SMB market. The general joe is not going to understand how to wield this product to it's full potential. For those of us managing large networks, this is a very ideal product for managing multiple sites and users.

    Pros
    Microsoft
    • Easy Integration in the form of multiple deployment options including On Prem, Azure or Hybrid Cloud
    • All round protection/ Real time analytics with absolutely no performance hits
    • Interoperability with Microsoft SIEM/SOAR. This helps in global threat protection with automated and cross domain network security

    • Static malware scans for known bad processes and files works well and can be schedules on endpoints easily
    • Preventing users from accessing USB drives and other peripherals is easily configured. We can also allow users to access to USB drives with user codes for the times they need it for business reasons.
    • ePO provides access into our MSME software so that we're not managing many different products from different locations.
    • In recent years the console has gotten much easier to navigate even though there is a ton of information to be accessed.

    • It has a slow mechanism when adding custom threat feeds. For example, if McAfee didn't have a signature or detection about a new virus and we try to add it to our console it is like a really big process in adding that to our available signatures.
    • Whenever a scan is performed, the system CPU utilization goes up 100 percent.
    • Installation fails due to difference in timestamp when we try to shuffle between packages.

    McAfee support is definitely GREAT! It is one of the best technical support on a business level. GOLD support is recommended to business. Their website is easy and quick to create a ticket. Their technical team usually responds right away with an email or call. Via call and web they provide a full and complete support until the issue is resolved. The best, most of the time they explain in detail what is the issue, the reason and how to resolve it.

    Defender being native to MS was the decision maker for us.

    I have used Symantec Endpoint Encryption before. Symantec and EPO are both good in their own ways. EPO allows integration of other McAfee products. I have been using ePolicy Orchestrator for years. I have a lot of experience with the product. That is why I like it.

    Return on Investment
    Microsoft
    • Positive: With the influx of IoT device organisations in general, we have seen significant demand of the product and hence a good revenue
    • Negatively, sometimes, some preview features may significantly change or stop working, which causes client frustration
    • Overall, keeping the distrust in preview features aside, 99% of the times, defender hits the right spot!

    • Peace of mind that your environment is safe and secure.
    • Keep your network environment up and running.
    • Additional resources (consulting or training) may be required if not familiar with the product.
    • Very complex to setup and configure ( training may be required).
    • Once configured, it will take care of almost 80% of your tasks.
