McAfee Total Protection (discontinued) vs. StormShield Endpoint Security

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.

It is a very good device to use on a small and medium size company (0-400 users). However I wouldn't use it for very big companies.

• Excellent protection of all internet connected assets on our VPN.
• Constant updates of needed security patches that ensure our network and systems are protected from current and emerging/potential threats.
• Prompt and reliable customer service that provides needed answers and expertise in a crisis.
• Strategic whitepapers on emerging cyber threats and McAfee solutions to resolve them before they become a problem for my team or our clients.

• Easy to manage on a daily basis
• It goes very deep into analyzing the trafic and the configuration is very thin.
• The first configuration is not so complex

Incentivized

• Price - Extremely high price tag for many of the solutions.

Incentivized

• Not everything is possible on the web administration page. We need to use the ssh console to do many things.
• The logs viewer is not as helpful as on other brands (like ASTARO, SOPHOS,...)

McAfee has consistently delivered on its stated goals of providing comprehensive protection for our networks and systems. Due to their excellent work and follow through I have been, and will continue to be a loyal customer.

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.

Installation and day to day use is more friendly.

• Blocks unsafe websites
• Virus detection and removal
• Protects sensitive data

• It does the job very well once it is correctly configured. By that I mean, it is functioning with the least waste of time and effort for network administrators.
• If needed the support is efficient.
