Identifies the malicious content in an organization's network
We must install an agent on every laptop. We do not know how to do it for the network. We shouldn’t have to install agents individually if it's a corporate network. The product does not provide options like tunnel creation or virtual appliances. If there are 2000 users and only one network administrator, installing the agent on every laptop will be time-consuming.

Recognizes and mitigates a wide array of spam and phishing attempts
The solution provides protection, including ransomware and mail protection. It can recognize and mitigate a wide array of spam and phishing attempts. The software is adept at distinguishing legitimate emails from malicious ones, ensuring that users receive genuine communications while being protected. Additionally, it is lightweight and unobtrusive to users, providing adequate protection without impacting system performance. While advancements such as cheaper data processors may enhance its capabilities, maintaining its agility and transparency remains paramount.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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's integration capabilities are excellent. It's one of the best features."
"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."
"Secure Endpoint has decreased our time to remediate by providing the tools and the integrations we need so we can quickly look across our entire network, look for those threats, and actually make good decisions."
"The visibility and insight this solution gives you into threats is pretty granular. It has constant monitoring. You can get onto the device trajectory to look at a threat, but you can also see what happened prior to the threat. You can see what happened after the threat. You can see what other applications were incorporated into the execution of the threat. For example, you have the event, but you see that the event was launched by Google Chrome, which was launched by something else. Then, after the event, something else was launched by whatever the threat was. Therefore, it gives you great detail, a timeline, and continuity of events leading up to whatever the incident is, and then, after. This helps you understand and nail down what the threat is and how to fix it."
"The simplicity of use is its most valuable feature. You can very clearly see things."
"Integration is a key selling factor for Cisco security products. We have a Cisco Enterprise Agreement with access to Cisco Email Security, Cisco Firepower, Cisco Stealthwatch, Cisco Talos, Cisco Threat Grid, Cisco Umbrella, and also third-party solutions. This is key to our security and maximizing operations. Because we do have the Email Security appliance and it is integrated with Threat Response, we have everything tied together. Additionally, we are using the Cisco SecureX platform, as we were a beta test for that new solution. With SecureX, we are able to pull all those applications into one pane for visibility and maintenance. This greatly maximizes our security operations."
"It provides real-time visibility and control over endpoints, allowing its users to promptly respond to any security incidents and remediate any vulnerabilities."
"We have control over our devices, specifically USB ports, allowing us to block or control the traffic."
"It is easy to manage."
"Great technical support staff."
"The most valuable feature of Panda Security Adaptive Defense is we don't have to have dedicated infrastructure on-premise because it is cloud-based."
"I've found it's got excellent web protection."
"The feature I find most valuable is the advance search engine."
"The dashboard management feature is valuable."
"Adaptive Defense is pretty easy to use, and Panda support is excellent."
 

Cons

"The reporting and analytics areas of the solution need to be improved."
"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."
"It cannot currently block URLs over websites."
"The technical support is very slow."
"Integration and dashboard are areas with certain shortcomings in Cisco Secure Endpoint."
"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."
"Cisco is good in terms of threat intelligence plus machine learning-based solutions, but we feel Cisco is lagging behind in using artificial intelligence in its systems."
"The Linux agent is a simple offline classic agent, and it doesn't support Secure Boot, which is important to have on a Linux machine. The Linux agent has conflicts with other solutions, including the Exploit Prevention system found in Windows servers. We didn't find a fix during troubleshooting, and Cisco couldn't offer one either. Eventually, we had to shut down the Exploit Prevention system. We didn't like that as we always want a solution that can fit smoothly into the setup without causing problems, especially where security is concerned. The tool also caused CPU spikes on our production machine, and we were seriously considering moving to another product."
"They need to expand their offering of add-ons to enhance capabilities further."
"They could have more reports."
"The gap between the two final conclusions is a problem, whether or not a file is known to be malware or is known to be safe."
"The Linux installation is performed on the command line and they need a package installer for that operating system."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense is stable. However, when updates are being done on the computers we can experience some troubles because the computers need to be restarted. When we start the computers they are not functioning correctly and we have not received proper feedback regarding this random issue."
"They need to offer a clear dashboard so you can see everything everywhere all at once."
"I would like to see better data protection."
"I'd like to integrate it into my main services."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis and I am happy with the pricing."
"The price is very fair to the customer."
"The costs of 50 licenses of AMP for three years is around $9,360."
"...the licensing needs to be improved. All the product features we need are there. It's just a matter of the complexity and the different offerings and trying to figure things out."
"My company does make annual payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cisco Secure Endpoint is a little bit expensive."
"The price is very good."
"Panda is cloud-only and comes at a reasonable cost. It is a set price per seat."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is approximately $30 annually."
"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."
"The licensing is subscription-based and priced well compared to other endpoint security solutions."
"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."
"Customers need to pay monthly licensing costs for Panda Security Adaptive Defense, which is not expensive."
"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."
