The only thing decent about McAfee products is EPO. I still think EPO is overly complicated. McAfee believes they have you by the short hairs because of EPO. ENS 10.x is a little better in the AV department but still lags the more innovative new comers. Many of the new comers are former McAfee employees who set off on their own to start new companies and start with a new foundation not dependent upon signature based detection. McAfee needs to be taken out to pasture. The salesman are a bunch of used car sales rejects, the engineering dept isn't capable of fixing a long list of known bugs and the company has been spun off so many times they can't come up with an identity better than cocaine cowboy John "McAfee".
I'd start switching now unless you want to become a victim of every piece of Ransomware and variants coming down the pipe. I'd recommend setting up and isolated lab with virtual workstations configured like the corporate desktop images (different pw's, similar GPO's). Get malware samples and test away.... All companies and state/govt agencies should be doing this on a continuing basis anyway.
This info is based on horrors of working with many of their products over a long period of time in multiple industries. I'd recommend getting out of McAfee before the state gets burned again. Easier said than done huh? It shouldn't be as political as it is given the loss of so many workstations but the decision will be laden with doubt, funding, testing, project planning and just plain craziness. All is can say is good luck but leave McAfee in the rear view mirror.
