Danit Sannikov - PeerSpot reviewer
Project manager at SII
Can be well-integrated with the existing systems in a company and is very intuitive to use
I once faced a problem with the tool, but I remember that I managed to work without a VPN, and then the problem with the product was sorted out somehow. An option to connect not only with the username and password but also through SMS in an easy manner is something that needs to be added to the tool. When I changed the way I connect to the tool to the SMS option, I did it because I bought a new phone, and it had a problem connecting with the tool, after which I had to go to the settings to change it, so I felt it was not very intuitive. In other platforms, the user will have two options to connect, one of which is with a username and password, and the other one is with an SMS.

Reliable threat protection is achieved while integration and analysis capabilities need refinement
Cisco Secure Endpoint is very good in machine learning, which allows it to secure offline contents even if not connected to the internet. We haven't encountered a single breach after it's deployed. It controls USB devices and has a separate antivirus solution called Tetra, providing security even for real-time, day-zero attacks through its strong Talos threat intelligence platform.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution provides complete security for one's workstation."
"This software has helped individuals in the organization avoid data loss."
"It has addressed storage and data transfer demands efficiently."
"The solution is pretty reliable."
"They have Disc Encryption, Anti-Malware, and a VPN Blade which is beneficial for us."
"Its ability to provide a security layer of encryption that allows us to prevent unauthorized access to computers."
"It helps us maximize the operational efficiency and performance of our activities."
"Its central management console has really made an impact on our organization."
"The simplicity of use is its most valuable feature. You can very clearly see things."
"The product's initial setup phase was very simple."
"The biggest lesson that I have learned from using this product is that there is a lot more malware slipping through my email filters than I expected."
"The solution's integration capabilities are excellent. It's one of the best features."
"Any alert that we get is an actionable alert. Immediately, there is information that we can just click through, see the point in time, what happened, what caused it, and what automatic actions were taken. We can then choose to take any manual actions, if we want, or start our investigation. We're no longer looking at digging into information or wading through hundreds of incidents. There's a list which says where the status is assigned, e.g., under investigation or investigation finished. That is all in the console. It has taken away a lot of the administration, which we would normally be doing, and integrated it into the console for us."
"We have seen a measurable decrease in the mean time to detect or respond to threats by 90 percent, blocking a vast majority of threats."
"The Cisco environment has been perfect."
"The entirety of our network infrastructure is Cisco and the most valuable feature is the integration."
 

Cons

"The response time for technical support could be faster."
"You do need to be careful that you don't mess too much with the endpoint, or you might have issues with the work stations."
"Sometimes the performance rates are not consistent."
"The cost of maintaining the system is high for personal use."
"They could improve the latency in the platform when entering the portal."
"In the future, I would like to see is the ability to decrypt equipment."
"They should improve the interface and make it a little more user-friendly."
"While the solution works as it should, it is overly expensive."
"Logging could be better in terms of sending more logs to Cisco Firepower or Cisco ASA. That's an area where it could be made better."
"At this moment, in terms of integration with other software, that could be helpful."
"I would like them to add whatever makes filtering more advanced in scanning and blocking for malware in emails."
"I would recommend that the solution offer more availability in terms of the product portfolio and integration with third-party products."
"Cisco Secure Endpoint lacks features like DLP which other vendors offer. XDR is new, so integration capabilities with third-party tools need improvement."
"Cisco Secure Endpoint is an expensive solution."
"The integration of the Cisco products for security could be better in the sense that not everything is integrated, and they aren't working together. In addition, not all products are multi-tenant, so you can't separate different customer environments from each other, which makes it a little bit hard for a managed service provider to deliver services to the customers."
"On the firewall level, they were lagging a little bit behind, but they are running up again. I have full trust in the new 3000 series of firewalls where we would also be able to look more into the traffic that we're monitoring and get more security layers in our services. That would definitely be a big step."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As it costs $125 per workstation per year, something which is above the price of what the competition is charging, the solution is definitely too expensive."
"Our company was very happy with the price of Cisco AMP. It was about a third of what we were paying for System Center Endpoint Protection."
"It can always be cheaper."
"The price is very good."
"It is quite cost-effective. I would rate it ten out of ten."
"Its price is fair for us."
"The price is very fair to the customer."
"You must make monthly payments towards the licensing charges attached to the product. There are no extra charges apart from the standard licensing fees associated with the product."
"In our case, it is a straightforward annual payment through our Enterprise Agreement."
