Cons
A lot of false positives detection.
More functionality for exclusion setting
Likelihood to Recommend
During the pandemic all our users worked remotely that was challenging from security perspective, so we had to deploy the endpoint protection system with cloud based monitoring server. By doing that we were able to keep safety for users workspaces even though some of them did not connect to VPN for a long time.

It can be used for ransomware detection and data exfiltration. It is also able to detect Remote Access Trojan (RATFireEye Endpoint Security is positioned as an Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) product. We are a distributor of the FireEye product. We offer a combination FireEye package. We offer the product in many sectors, like banking and government. We use the latest version. We offer it in a private cloud model for our customers who want to build a security operations centers in their environment.
Pros
APT (Advanced Persistent Threat).
malware detection
Cons
Malware detection can be better
Integrating with other tools could be better
Likelihood to Recommend
It is a great solution. The way it exchanges the information between the entire ecosystem, all the endpoints, as well as the network ATP, can trigger the blocking even if it is seen by some other device. If the network has seen something, we can use that to put a block to all the endpoints.
It is used globally by the CSOC to provide EDR capabilities (alerting, containing, triaging, and eradicating on threats). We also use the integrated AV engine as an additional layer.
Pros
Provides high fidelity alerting.
Allows CSOC analysts to perform forensic triage and alert investigations through containment from a single pane of glass.
Provides alert telemetry across on-disk and in-memory attacks.
Supports many additional 'bolt-on' modules to provide additional alert context or capabilities.
Cons
Host management is difficult to manage at scale.
Dash-boarding and reporting.
Likelihood to Recommend
I think the FireEye Endpoint solution is super solid. I would, and have, recommended this solution to colleagues. It is well suited to identify, contain, triage, remediate, and eradicate threats across the entire attack lifecycle.

Our University uses McAfee Endpoint Security to secure all devices across all its campuses. Each computer connected to the university’s private domain receives a mandatory McAfee client installation. This client is responsible for preventing any cases of malicious activities performed or attempted on the machine. It sends reports to the McAfee e-Policy Orchestration Management System. This console enables us (the security analysts) to remotely manage our endpoints/assets where the Endpoint Security Client is present and is connected to the internet.
Each department in our university, irrespective of their separate policies, has this client installed. The endpoint security client acts like the local antivirus on each machine and prevents malware using its virus database. This makes it easy to detect and prevent at the client level and maintain safety. Although it is a little heavy on some systems and has cases of false positives and false negatives (which is critical in this case), this does a better job than the default Windows defender. With the management console on top, we can force update, run scans, etc on all our endpoints in parallel without manually visiting the respective department. This saves a ton of time and effort.
Pros
The detection level is better than Windows defender.
The e-policy orchestration management console that comes with it enables us to oversee the devices remotely, run scans on the endpoints, and update their virus definitions forcibly.
It sends regular updates and therefore each endpoints stays safe individually.
Furthermore, it has a very easy to understand interface.
Cons
The amount of false detections especially the negative ones needed to be reduced.
It requires more optimization. It tends to make the PCs slower.
It almost doesn't have the ability to heal. This is very important as we need our sensitive data to be recoverable.
It doesn't have any free scanning functionality. Our users using personal machines cannot scan in case of an incident. This could be added like Malwarebytes.

<div>McAfee Endpoint Security is well suited for all kinds of organizations at different scales. Since it is per endpoint, there is no single point of failure or stress. However, considering the price/performance ratio, it is better for <b>mid-scale, mid-budget organizations</b>. Also, due to its cases of false negatives, it is recommended to be used where data is backed up on regular basis or data loss is highly tolerable. Not to mention, the endpoints must be equipped with enough physical memory, a recent processor and a Solid State Drive. It is little tough on outdated PCs with hard drives as the disk usage goes up and becomes the limiting factor each time a significant amount of data is processed or transferred. </div><div>Also, not much technical understanding is needed to use the tool. It is quite friendly. Good for organizations with non-technical employees as well.</div><div>Furthermore, if employees use a lot of personal machines outside the university assets, then it becomes a problem as McAfee doesn't provide any free scanning in case of an incident, like Malwarebytes. In this case McAfee doesn't suit well.

McAfee Endpoint Security is currently being managed/administered by our cyber-security team and endpoint security team. Using McAfee Endpoint Security, we use it for its VirusScan, HIPS, and Disk Encryption features. It helps us identify threats that occur on the workstations or servers. It provides excellent visibility across the enterprise when it comes to threats, both internal and external.
Pros
It provides excellent visibility of threats so that we can quickly identify them.
With its EPO product, it centralizes all security products into one umbrella.
It brings all features into one single agent.
Cons
Because it is signature-based, its VirusScan product is not able to identify zero days.
It is not recommended for the more advanced malware out there.
Sometimes it can use a lot of resources on the workstation.
Likelihood to Recommend
I believe that Mcafee Endpoint Security is well suited for environments that have formal endpoint security or cyber-security department because more attention to go into the tuning of it. Environments that do NOT have those types of departments will be able to deploy the solution in their company but won't be able to devote the time to tune the product into something beneficial.
