As stated, mobile operating systems are supported, too, though for full functionality, you'll need to add in MVision Mobile, which comes at additional cost. Then again, while it supports all the key operating systems, including mobile devices, the system is very Windows 10-focused going so far as to utilize Windows Defender as its first layer of defense on supported endpoints. Still, the MVision approach does allow for practically any deployment model you might desire, whether it be entirely cloud-based, on-premises, or some hybrid format.
While we found the architecture to be impressive, its focus on multiple products, each charged separately, means you'll likely spend quite a bit more to equal all the features that are already part of more all-inclusive products, like our Editors' Choice winner, Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra. We focused on its Endpoint component, which costs $30.16 per node per year, but Mvision aims to address far more than endpoint protection, offering a layered, end-to-end security architecture powered by an underlying machine learning (ML) engine.
However, as part of this year's roundup, the company asked us to test its new family of enterprise-oriented security products, dubbed McAfee MVision Cloud. Last year, as part of our hosted endpoint protection roundup, we tested McAfee's Endpoint Protection Essential for SMB, which still exists under the name McAfee Endpoint Protection for SMB.
