What 23 Arbolus experts think of McAfee

The NPS distribution skews positive, with 7 out of 14 scored responses giving 8 or above, but three respondents in the offboarding stage and notable detractors. High renewal intent is seen among customers citing robust management and compliance features, while those offboarding reference management complexity and a need for advanced EDR/XDR. About 60% are in stable or mature implementation, while 20% are leaving, typically seeking advanced automation and lower overhead. Main feedback themes include strong endpoint controls, centralized management, but a clear expectation for modernization. Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
