Centralized management with full disk encryption and helpful authentification capabilities
Due to the fact that many users travel remotely from home or travel to different places in the country with the devices, a tool was needed that would provide us with the security and tranquility that the information would be safe on the devices that our users would access. This tool was acquired…

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."
"It's easily scalable and adaptable to the needs of the business."
"It helps us maximize the operational efficiency and performance of our activities."
"The product's initial setup phase is totally fine."
"The encryption ensures each of our drives is not invasive and that the user does not have a bad experience even while the drive is being encrypted."
"This software has helped individuals in the organization avoid data loss."
"This encryption is relatively fast and really covers the needs required."
"The solution provides complete security for one's workstation."
"It's quite simple, and the advantage I see is that I get the trajectory of what happened inside the network, how a file has been transmitted to the workstation, and which files have got corrupted."
"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."
"The best feature that we found most valuable, is actually the security product for the endpoint, formerly known as AMP. It has behavioral analytics, so you can be more proactive toward zero-day threats. I found that quite good."
"With Cisco Secure Endpoint, we now have visibility over what is happening on the endpoint side."
"It is extensive in terms of providing visibility and insights into threats. It allows for research into a threat, and you can chart your progress on how you're resolving it."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the IPS and the integration with ISE."
"The console feature gives a centralized management of what's going on, and if something happens, it gives you an alert. So, that's the most important feature for me."
 

Cons

"I would like to bring centralized management to mobile devices."
"Regarding the general topic of support, many have annoyances with it."
"In the future, I would like to see is the ability to decrypt equipment."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The tool is too expensive to be an add-on to the main solution. They could launch it independently so that costs can be lowered."
"The price is high for small scale business enterprises."
"I would like to see integration with Cisco Analytics."
"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."
"Due to the complexity of the technology that is used and its advanced threat detection capabilities, it is possible to encounter many delays in operation."
"The user interface is dull."
"It could be improved in connection with artificial intelligence and IoT."
"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."
"The solution needs more in-depth analytics."
"Cisco Secure Endpoint is an expensive solution."
 

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."
"Because we do see the value of what it's bringing, I think they have priced it well."
"We have a license for 3,000 users and if we get up to 3,100 users, it doesn't stop working, but on the next renewal date you're supposed to go in there and add that extra 100 licenses. It's really good that they let you grow and expand and then pay for it. Sometimes, with other products, you overuse a license and they just don't work."
"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."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis and I am happy with the pricing."
"We can know if something bad is potentially happening instantaneously and prevent it from happening. We can go to a device and isolate it before it infects other devices. In our environment, that's millions of dollars saved in a matter of seconds."
"My company does make annual payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cisco Secure Endpoint is a little bit expensive."
"The costs of 50 licenses of AMP for three years is around $9,360."
"It is quite cost-effective. I would rate it ten out of ten."
