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 initial setup is easy."
"We never had any complaints about the performance of computers with this tool to be able to manage the protection of disks and drives."
"The solution is pretty reliable."
"They have Disc Encryption, Anti-Malware, and a VPN Blade which is beneficial for us."
"Encryption prevents data loss which can cost the organization a lot of resources."
"The solution provides complete security for one's workstation."
"Its ability to provide a security layer of encryption that allows us to prevent unauthorized access to computers."
"This software has helped individuals in the organization avoid data loss."
"The fact that I've been using it for five years already means that I believe I can trust it, and others can also trust it."
"Among the most valuable features are the exclusions. And on the scalability side, we can integrate well with the SIEM orchestration engine and a number of applications that are proprietary or open source."
"Overall, I really liked the product; it was well done."
"I am told that we get over 100 million emails a month. This filters them down and allows only somewhere about three million emails, which is a great help."
"The solution is easy to deploy and applies multi-factor authentication."
"This solution has allowed us to segment the organization to provide better security."
"Cisco Secure Endpoint enables us to stop a threat before it spreads across our system, which is a massive improvement for us as we couldn't follow threats and respond to them as rapidly when we used other solutions."
"The implementation was performed, with support from Cisco partners, in a few hours and in the following days AMP 4 Endpoints found many things that the old antivirus solution missed, which was a very huge advantage for us."
 

Cons

"The cost of maintaining the system is high for personal use."
"There are a few cases of security breaches when the networking system fails and can lead to malware attacks. The next release should focus more on data virtualization and support for all computing devices."
"The price is high for small scale business enterprises."
"The tool should be able to recover data from a stolen device."
"The response time for technical support could be faster."
"In the future, I would like to see is the ability to decrypt equipment."
"Sometimes the performance rates are not consistent."
"I rate the support from Check Point Full Disk Encryption Software Blade a six out of ten."
"It is an expensive solution."
"They could improve the main dashboard to more clearly show me the things that I want to see. When I open the dashboard right now, I see a million things and they are not always the things that I need."
"It does not include encryption and decryption of local file shares."
"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."
"Pricing can be more expensive than similar software that does less functionality, but not recognized by customers."
"...the greatest value of all, would be to make the security into a single pane of glass. Whilst these products are largely integrated from a Talos perspective, they're not integrated from a portal perspective. For example, we have to look at an Umbrella portal and a separate AMP portal. We also have to look at a separate portal for the firewalls. If I could wave a magic wand and have one thing, I would put all the Cisco products into one, simple management portal."
"The initial setup is a bit complex because you need to execute existing antiviruses or security software that you have on your device."
"It is not very stable because we have new versions four times a year, which fixes bugs. We had some problems with some deployments."
 

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."
"My company does make annual payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cisco Secure Endpoint is a little bit expensive."
"I rate the pricing a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"Its price is fair for us."
"The solution is highly affordable; I believe we pay $2 or $3 per endpoint. It's significantly cheaper than the competitors on the market."
"Whenever you are doing the licensing process, I would highly advise to look at what other Cisco solutions you have in your organization, then evaluate if an Enterprise Agreement is the best way to go. In our case, it was the best way to go. Since we had so many other Cisco products, we were able to tie those in. We were actually able to get several Cisco security solutions for less than if we had bought three or four Cisco security solutions independently or ad hoc."
"The pricing and licensing of the security solutions of Cisco are very good in comparison with the competitors, but sometimes, it's difficult to see all the discounts and other kinds of things. So, you have to be careful, but the pricing is good."
"There are a couple of different consumption models: Pay up front, or if you have an enterprise agreement, you can do a monthly thing. Check your licensing possibilities and see what's best for your organization."
"We had faced some license issues, but it has been improved. At the beginning of the implementation, we faced a lot of licensing issues, but now, we have EA licensing, which gives us an opportunity to grow."
