McAfee Advanced Threat Defense Reviews & Product Details

It had the potential to be a perfect all in one suite to rule over all security needs.

There's 1 management server (epo)

There's 1 agent to manage deployments of all tools.

Implementation is easy.

It's has many features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although the potential was there, it simply never passed the actual test.

The management server is not admin friendly, not easy to use,

So many false positives, so many exclusions required to allow servers and RnD be productive.

Integrations with 3rd party is lacking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The self-learning capability of the suspicious traffic and actions and taking primary actions and plus suggesting on the next step. All in sync with each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't anything that I don't dislike about the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that McAfee is still acting as one of the leading defense walls for IP and computer virus detection. It seems like it's been around forever, and because of which there are a lot of types of defense software now through McAfee to fit whatever personal or professional need you have.

Since McAfee has been around for so long, there are a lot of "knock-off" brands and hackers disguised as McAfee program or threat detection software. This makes it difficult to sometimes know for sure that you're installing the correct program to your computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface is probably the best part of the software. It looks great with all the essential information being displayed like System Status, DNS Status, Uptime, Load, Memory Utilization for beginners. User Interface also covers useful information like summary of top 10 malwares detected with their priority, status and count of file which are scanned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most of the system in which this is installed, the default protection is disabled. This brings to the thought that why cannot both protection system work independently. It also hinders most of the operating system updates which is very annoying. Once it happened that one of the critical windows update was blocked by the McAfee defense system for which I had to literally disable the antivirus engine for downloading the update.

McAfee itself has been around for such a long time. The company is great. The products are great. There is really not much to complain about. I had this in both personal and business. I have never had an issue in the past. I trust this company/product. Definitely brought peace to mind. Love the sandboxing feature. We all are curious about the threats and the evaluation of the threats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like in the paragraph of what I liked best, I mentioned I cannot complain. I believe this is one of the products to consider if you want to stay protected. The only real issue was the cost and occasional blockers, but I would rather have the annoying blockers than be unprotected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like this software because it detects and analyzes aggressive Malware or viruses that are in a network or computer and determines how they will best be treated and what damage they could do internally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost is outrageous, it has constant updates and pop ups to remind you of things that it feels needs to be done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have done some PoC with different solutions to protect against zero-day attacks and sophisticated threats. McAfee was one of the biggest projects I have deployed in telco provider. The implementation was really easy. Moreover, user interface is quite simple and friendly for me. The most powerful features are machine learning and sandboxing with excellent protection. It also supports static code analysis, which was very useful. All the malicious files have been blocked during testing period. Generally, I am impressed with McAfee vision of APT protection and their Global Threat Intelligence. We have deployed different technologies from McAfee and the it really works.
