We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Endpoint and Cisco Umbrella based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cisco Security Portfolio solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Its most valuable features are its scalability and advanced threat protection for customers."
"It used to take us a month to find out that something is infected, we now know that same day, as soon it is infected."
"The product's initial setup phase was very simple."
"The simplicity of use is its most valuable feature. You can very clearly see things."
"The solution makes it possible to see a threat once and block it everywhere across all endpoints and the entire security platform. It has the ability to block right down to the file and application level across all devices based on policies, such as, blacklisting and whitelisting of software and applications. This is good. Its strength is the ability to identify threats very quickly, then lock them and the network down and block the threats across the organization and all devices, which is what you want. You don't want to be spending time working out how to block something. You want to block something very quickly, letting that flow through to all the devices and avoiding the same scenario on different operating systems."
"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."
"If somebody has been compromised, the question always is: How has it affected other devices in the network? Cisco AMP gives you a very neat view of that."
"The solution is extremely stable. It has excellent performance."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Web Filtering and the APT."
"I like the DNS layer security."
"The implementation is pretty easy."
"The user interface is great. It's very easy to tailor to our client's environment and needs."
"The initial setup is very easy and takes only a few minutes."
"Some clients only want DNS security, while others want more of the advanced features that it has available."
"The Global Block List is one of the most valuable features because it's really easy to block domain names as well as URLs. Sometimes you don't want to block the whole site, you just want to block one URL. The Global Block and Allow Lists are the best features for us."
"The user interface is dull."
"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."
"We would like to have an API integration with a SIEM solution, because as far as I know, it currently hasn't yet been released."
"The connector updates are very easily done now, and that's improving. Previously, the connector had an issue, where almost every time it needed to be updated, it required a machine reboot. This was always a bit of an inconvenience and a bug. Because with a lot of software now, you don't need to do that and shouldn't need to be rebooting all the time."
"It cannot currently block URLs over websites."
"We had a lot of noise at the beginning, and we had to turn it down based on exclusions, application whitelisting, and excluding unknown benign applications. Cisco should understand the need for continuous updates on the custom Cisco exclusions and the custom applications that come out-of-the-box with the AMP for Endpoints."
"In the next version of this solution, I would like to see the addition of local authentication."
"I would like them to add whatever makes filtering more advanced in scanning and blocking for malware in emails."
"Data reporting could be improved."
"Support for multiple domains is important to us."
"Its DNS service does not support IPv6 query."
"It would be good to have more extensions to third-party products and a client for other device types."
"Missing a real data leakage prevention solution."
"The reporting could be improved by way of the information that's displayed. For example, when you pull a report, it shows an internal employee going to many websites, but you can spin that right down by saying a lot of it is being cached."
"It's a very new product, so it's quite immature at the moment. It can be more user friendly."
"Their support should be improved. It is necessary that the support is efficient. It is not really easy to get a resolution for an issue from Cisco support. They should be faster and more efficient."
