McAfee Endpoint Security Reviews

Time-out during on-demand scanning on end users.

McAfee can be unwieldy to manage (it takes a trained staff to run it).

It's not a fool-proof zero-day solution.

Slows down the client a little bit.

Additional software needed, while Cisco AMP is already installed and licensed.

This software is very complex. It means when I was starting to work with this software I couldn't understand whole features but after two weeks it was fine. First time loggers need to give extra time to understand.

According to my view I think the software is a little bit expensive.

Sometimes this software slows down the pc and sometimes it automatically shut down. But it’s not a big problem.

The only weak point would have to be the updates from third party applications. Apart from that, it doesn't have any other flaws.

As you may expect, McAfee's Endpoint Security can be expensive. It depends completely on the requirements of your business and would prescribe you contact an individual from their business group to figure out which features you require. They tweak the product so you can rest guaranteed that the majority of the vulnerabilities will be dealt with. I had a couple of associations with client support that were troublesome. In the event that you are new to the cyber-security scene, you should request that they place it in layman's terms.

It is normally substantial and makes the PC slower and to capitalize on it, it is important to have great equipment, another issue is that if the PC's working framework is exceptionally old, McAfee does not promise it will work, on the off chance that you need to exploit every one of the advantages of the framework you need to purchase the permit and it is extremely costly.

Now and again it responds while introducing another product which is protected. It is a bit irritating however considering that there would be some string or infection

Takes more CPU utilization and a lot of memory.

When the system is under scan it will hang the screen and other processes are very difficult to work with.

component and signature updates were not always being deployed automatically.

Too many threats were not being stopped.

Too many false positive and negatives.

The software is very aggresive, and intrusive.

Hard to remove the software when you decide to.

I would not use any type of McAfee product on any personal computer that I have because I don't think it works well unless it's bundled with other security software. When using McAfee as my computer's single source of protection from viruses and malware, the software did not keep my computer from being infected. When the software is paired with other software and hardware used for network security, it does a great job of protecting the system. For instance, when I downloaded a file that actually had a virus in it, McAfee ran a scan on the download and said it was clean, but the moment I opened the file on my computer, my system became infected with malware.

When using McAfee on a desktop or laptop, I've also seen where there were issues where it would conflict with other software installed on the device. I don't see these issues with McAfee running on our servers; only on desktops and laptops. Sometimes McAfee would report that a program had a virus or that a program was infected with malware and really it was just a regular program file that had no infections at all. I don't like false detections because it makes you spend hours running additional virus scans looking for something that doesn't exist. At other times, I would attempt to open a software program on my computer and it wouldn't open because a system file it needed to run was deleted by McAfee during a previous scan.

I like to run an automated virus scan when my computer is first turned on, but I've noticed that this function drastically slows down my computer. For the most part, McAfee does not drain your computer's resources, but if you have it set up to run when you first log into your desktop after turning your computer on then it will drastically slow down the speed of your computer. To try and get around this issue I just avoid opening any other programs while the scan is running.
