Tenable.sc [(formerly SecurityCenter)] has been around for a long time and in our opinion offered the easiest configuration for compliance scanning and it's rating system was more impressive than Rapid 7's.
Chose Tenable Security Center
Tenable.sc can be installed so easily within an hour or so and it has user-friendly GUI with inbuilt industry-based customizable reports i.e. HIPAA, GDPR, ISO standards, etc. It also includes a configurable workflow engine that helps to speed up response and remediation, reduce …

My organization is strictly prohibited from using cloud services. Tenable.sc offers cloud service but we needed on-premises services. Therefore, Tenable.io was eliminated by Tenable.sc.
Chose Tenable Security Center
We decided to go with Tenable due to its robust reporting capabilities and competitive pricing vs its competitors. While all tools are very similar in regards to scanning capabilities we prefer Tenable SC's user interface. We also like the option to have both on-prem and cloud …
Chose Tenable Security Center
We selected Tenable because is one of the best solution at the moment. Tenable is a powerful tool that we use for validation of our patching methodology. This is very helpful if you are only patching what the vendor deems as critical and then with this external validation you …

McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator really seemed to have all the best pieces in one platform and the network admin and asst. network admin both had previous experience with the product. The others tend to focus more on singular aspects, whereas McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator has data …

If you are using Microsoft Services or newer, cloud ones, it can be worth [it] to try their services but it may be very expensive because of the licensing thing and here Microsoft is very tricky and very difficult to decide the right one.

Chose Trellix ePolicy Orchestrator
I have used Symantec Endpoint Encryption before. Symantec and EPO are both good in their own ways. EPO allows integration of other McAfee products. I have been using ePolicy Orchestrator for years. I have a lot of experience with the product. That is why I like it.
Chose Trellix ePolicy Orchestrator
Trend micro-endpoint management, Symantec/Norton AV
Compared to these, McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator provides a much more robust and extensible all-around deployment and ongoing management solution.
Chose Trellix ePolicy Orchestrator
We selected McAfee EPO partly because we were already using McAfee VSE, but mostly because there are very few other AV management packages out there that offer the same level of enterprise management tools. That's where it really shines - deployment and management of AV in a …
Chose Trellix ePolicy Orchestrator
The price and the licensing options are very good. We were able to negotiate our pricing with plenty of flexibility ePO is one of the best administration console in the security world. Capability of deep customization are one of the biggest advantage. Ability to run PDF …
Chose Trellix ePolicy Orchestrator
I think McAfee is a strong competitor and holds up well when compared to other software of its kind. If McAfee antivirus is already being used then it makes sense to go with this product to add another layer of management to the network.
Chose Trellix ePolicy Orchestrator
McAfee plays well in not only scanning the endpoint machines like the data which is shared through disks or pen drive but it also helps in internet security. With its wide range threat source it blocks users entering into malicious sites and also blocks suspicious things which …
Chose Trellix ePolicy Orchestrator
Other products that were reviewed were Symantec's DLP and Forcepoint. The reason we ultimately went the ePolicy Orchestrator route was that we owned other McAfee products and the logic way to bring them together and to gain the maximum information was to bin them together with …
Chose Trellix ePolicy Orchestrator
We have not evaluated any other products in a very long time because moving to another AV product suite would be a very costly and long process. Another AV product would have to provide a very large cost reduction, performance improvements and unknown threat finding. We …
Chose Trellix ePolicy Orchestrator

We were using Vipre Anti-virus for years and switched to McAfee. We gained better insight into our environment. Management felt more secure knowing that at any moment we could bring up reports into what was going on in our environment.

Tenable.sc is best suited for those organizations who are not very comfortable with Cloud and want an on-premises solution. If any organization has to follow some guidelines that no data should go to the cloud, in this case, Tenable.sc is a perfect fit as it's installed in the infra Datacenter and no data goes to Cloud. Tenable.sc won't be appropriate for those who have their infra setup on cloud.

McAffee ePolicy Orchestrator is very well suited in large environments. You can load your updates to the repository and deploy them to every node on your network. It has great reporting and auditing features. You can control your users and groups all from the System Tree. DLP is great for USB devices. You can restrict all the ports on a computer and open them up for a limited time to plug in a device. EPO is to bulky for small networks.

Cons
  • Tenable could make it easier to report on missing reg key.

  • It has a slow mechanism when adding custom threat feeds. For example, if McAfee didn't have a signature or detection about a new virus and we try to add it to our console it is like a really big process in adding that to our available signatures.
  • Whenever a scan is performed, the system CPU utilization goes up 100 percent.
  • Installation fails due to difference in timestamp when we try to shuffle between packages.

McAfee support is definitely GREAT! It is one of the best technical support on a business level. GOLD support is recommended to business. Their website is easy and quick to create a ticket. Their technical team usually responds right away with an email or call. Via call and web they provide a full and complete support until the issue is resolved. The best, most of the time they explain in detail what is the issue, the reason and how to resolve it.

McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator really seemed to have all the best pieces in one platform and the network admin and asst. network admin both had previous experience with the product.

  • As with most things the price of products goes up and more-so if your business is growing.
  • We've been able to provide auditors with tangible evidence that our network is protected because of the reporting McAfee ePO provides. Auditors like McAfee because it's been around almost forever and is a mature product.
  • Being a mature product, though, it's very much set in the way it does things and as such there's not a whole lot of innovation.
