Overall Satisfaction with McAfee Total Protection for Data

McAfee Total Protection Data is used across all employee laptops and computers in my organization. When you're working in the financial services industry, you need to make sure your computer and data is encrypted and you are not susceptible to viruses or breaches. When you're working with sensitive and confidential data, protection is a must. McAfee Total Protection is great because it's an all in one tool. It encrypts your computer for you, will allow you to complete virus scans, will make sure emails don't have harmful attachments, keeps you off harmful websites, and if you're downloading a program that might be a virus it'll stop the download. The program might be a bit irritating sometimes because it might block something you need to download or a website you have to visit if it deems it unsafe, but for all the features it provides without being intrusive, it's a great product. What's great is the program also gives you a status of all the programs you have running. You can easily open up the window and make sure all protection programs are up and running (ex. Drive Encryption Agent, Host Intrusion Prevention, etc..)
  • Restricts harmful websites
  • Non-intrusive
  • Easy to scan computer for threats
  • User friendly
  • Protects from harmful downloads
  • All-in-one tool for your organization or personal use
  • I wish it would give better reasoning why some sites or downloads are blocked, this can be frustrating to have happen if what you are trying to download is from someone/thing you know is a trusted source
  • Sometimes the program messes up the formatting of some webpages I'm trying to visit
  • Drive encryption can be a bit slow to load at times
  • Keeps viruses off computer , which keeps my computer running well
  • Prevents me from downloading harmful programs
  • Encrypts computer for data protection
  • The all-in-one program saves money since one program does the job you need.
I would recommend this program ideally more for larger organizations, but that is not to say you couldn't use it for personal use. I think it's ideal for an organization because of all the features it has in one program. It provides all the protection you'd need in a corporation, especially for ones dealing with sensitive company/personal/financial information. Administrators are also able to set specific settings for users so the company can tailor security restrictions as needed.
