McAfee Total Protection (discontinued) vs. StormShield Endpoint Security

The McAfee suite of internet security products has been my go-to source for internet security for over 7 years. Featuring a snappy interface, frequent updates, and an amazing customer service and support system, McAfee delivers a high quality enterprise level security product at a significant cost saving value to the user. It has been frequently recommended to my staff and my clients to provide their cyber security needs.

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.

• Integration - McAfee builds their products to ensure integration with pre-existing products is seamless.
• Customizability - Granular management of policies and security controls, able to tune and mold solutions to individual organizations.
• Reliability - When configured properly, McAfee solutions rarely have issues. In the case they do, support is phenomenal.

Incentivized

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
