More McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention Cons →
"It could use more feature parity between what is offered with their on-prem console as well as their hosted console."
"It would be helpful if this product provided patch management functionality."
"The technical support could be a bit better."
"As for some features I would like to see, I'd like a retrospective action feature similar to Cisco Secure Endpoint's. Some antiviruses don't allow you to re-scan a product that was in the former scan—for example, if a file was classified as proper, but then for some reason the file was changed, we need an antivirus with retrospective capability. We need EPP and EDR products in a secured environment."
"They're just starting to get into this now, but I think they can do better - they're just starting out with I think is called the SEP Cloud Console. It has more limited functionality. It will be good once we can run SEP from the cloud. That would be good."
"It is only available to use on computers with higher-end specs."
"The monitoring capabilities could be further developed."
"It seems that its not working very well with VMWare."
