    Although
    it is extremely rare, performance issues can arise when we protect data because
    of the rising volume of traffic on our system. The constant version updates
    annoy me a lot. It's difficult to upgrade the clients frequently if you have a
    larger number of clients.

    • McAfee Mobile Data Protection provides a fairly easy and low cost security measure for providing basic to medium security for mobile devices. While not perfect, it does it basic job fairly well.
    • The program may require a bit of a learning curve for some end users with its interface and installation processes. This may require some additional training or support.
    • The program lacks some of the more advanced data protection abilities found in other competitor products. The result may be a need for additional security applications.
