Tighter integration with Umbrella and Firepower gave us eye-opening information

We were using a third-party help desk. One of the ways that they were fixing problems was to delete the client and then add the client back if there was an issue where the client had stopped communicating. Any improvement in the client communicating back to the server would be good, particularly for machines that are offline for a couple of weeks. A lot of our guys were working on a rotation where the machine might be offline for that long. They were also terrible about rebooting their machines, so those network connections didn't necessarily get refreshed. So, anything that could improve that communication would be good. Also, an easier way to do deduplication of machines, or be alerted to the fact that there's more than one instance of a machine, would be useful. If you could say, "Okay, we've got these two machines. This one says it's not reporting and this one says it's been reporting. Obviously, somebody did a reinstall," it would help. That way you could get a more accurate device count, so you're not having an inflated number. Not that Cisco was going to come down on you and say, "Oh, you're using too many licenses," right away. But to have a much more accurate license usage count by being able to better dedupe the records would be good. I also sent over a couple of other ideas to our technical rep. A lot of that had to do with the reporting options. It would be really nice to be able to do a lot more in the reporting. You can't really drill down into the reports that are there. The reporting and the need for the documentation to be updated and current would be my two biggest areas of complaint. Also, there was one section when I was playing with the automation where it was asking for the endpoint type rather than the machine name. If I could have just put in the machine name, that would have been great. So there are some opportunities, when it comes to searching, to have more options. If I wanted to search, for example, by a Mac address because, for some reason, I thought there was a duplication and I didn't have the machine name, how could I pull it up with the Mac address? When you're getting to that level, you're really starting to get into the ticky tacky. I would definitely put the reporting and documentation way ahead of that.

Reliable with good independent modules and a straightforward setup

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. Having used Trend Micro as well, I would rate Trend Micro higher. However, I would still choose this product as a second option. When we recommend a product, we would recommend something based on the fit of the product and customer requirements. We worked with Defender, we worked with Trend Micro, and we worked with McAfee. All of them almost overlap in multiple use cases. That said, we do see the customer IT strategy and where they're going, and they are adopting Azure more. We know there are certain limitations in their landscape where there may be some old legacy systems, and in that case, then we would either switch back to McAfee or Trend Micro instead of Defender.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Real-time threat prevention using sandboxing, file trajectory, and retrospective security."

"For the initial first level of support, we provide it from our side. If there's escalation required, we use Cisco tech for the AMP. And again, they are perfect. I mean, one of the best, compared to any other vendors."

"The product provides sandboxing options like file reputation and file analysis."

"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."

"The product's initial setup phase was very simple."

"The entirety of our network infrastructure is Cisco and the most valuable feature is the integration."

"The solution's integration capabilities are excellent. It's one of the best features."

"I am really satisfied with the technical support."

More Cisco Secure Endpoint pros

"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."

"The installation phase of the solution was very easy."

"The most valuable network security feature is the network sandbox solution. This sandbox feature works on traffic flow."

"The response part of EDR was most valuable. We used that to separate the endpoint from the network. We utilized the solution during the instant response. We were also utilizing advanced malware detection capabilities, but we benefited the most from its help with the response."

"It is scalable and stable and the initial setup is the easiest part of using the product."

"The platform’s most valuable features are ease of use, integration, and deployment."

"It has a feature called Isolation. If a device is compromised, we can connect it to our SOC, and no one would be able to access it. This way we can limit the damage to the network while we are investigating."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity."

More Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) pros

Cons

"The technical support is very slow."

"One of the things that Cisco Secure Endpoint really needs is that it's not just Secure Endpoint, it's a point product, and I think we really need to move into solution-based selling, designing, and architecting. So that we're not worried about putting things on endpoints and selling 'x' amount of endpoints, but to provide a solution that covers all of the remote access and sell them as solutions that cover multiple things."

"In the next version of this solution, I would like to see the addition of local authentication."

"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."

"Cisco Secure Endpoint is an expensive solution."

"Its price is okay for us, but it can always be better. There's always room for improvement when it comes to pricing."

"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."

"The room for improvement would be on event notifications. I have mine tuned fairly well. I do feel that if you subscribe to all the event notification types out-of-the-box, or don't really go through and take the time to filter out events, the notifications can become overwhelming with information. Sometimes, when you're overwhelmed with information, you just say, "I'm not going to look at anything because I'm receiving so much." I recommend the vendor come up with a white paper on the best practices for event notifications."

More Cisco Secure Endpoint cons

"They could also increase or improve the scalability because to my knowledge the biggest bandwidth can only support up to 10 gigs of input."

"The central monitoring dashboard needs improvement."

"I would like to see more automation."

"The complexity of advanced modules can be improved."

"Malware detection can be better. It doesn't have support and detection for the recent malware, but it has a compensatory control where it can do the behavior-based assessment and alert you when there is something malicious or unexpected. For example, when a certain user is executing the privilege command, which is not normal. These dynamic detections are good, and they compensate for malware detection."

"The solution lacks device control."

"The initial setup can be a bit complicated for those unfamiliar with the product."

"You do not have access to all the features when you use the Trellix web interface. For example, you cannot do device or drive encryption from the web interface. Also, when we're working with customers, it's sometimes challenging to get sales support. Delays mean we might lose an opportunity. Lastly, Trellix lacks some documentation about custom features."

More Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cisco's pricing is reasonable. We also do not need to opt for niche players, which would have charged us significantly more than Cisco for ecosystem solutions. We are highly satisfied with the pricing structure of Cisco's solutions they are reasonable."

"Cisco Secure Endpoint is not too expensive and it's not cheap. It's quite fair."

"The visibility that we have into the endpoint and the forensics that we're able to collect give us value for the price. This is not an overly expensive solution, considering all the things that are provided. You get great performance and value for the cost."

"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."

"The solution's price is about the same as that of Palo Alto solutions."

"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."

"It is an expensive solution."

"The Enterprise Agreement is like an all-you-can-eat buffet of Cisco products. In that vein, it was very affordable."

More Cisco Secure Endpoint pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is reasonable."

"We are on an annual subscription for McAfee MVISION Endpoint. The cost for the license could be less expensive."

"Pricing for McAfee MVISION Endpoint is not very good, and I would rate its cost three out of five, though I won't be able to mention how much its actual price is."

"MVISION is intended as an enterprise product and it is priced like one. This solution is within the price range of competitors at the enterprise level."

"I don't think there are any extra expenses besides its licensing costs."

"It was an annual fee. There was just one overall fee."

"It is a yearly subscription-based product, which includes the license and hardware. There is also a subscription for technical support up to five years."

"The pricing is mid-ranged and quite reasonable compared to other similar products."

Reviews from Real Users

Cisco Secure Endpoint stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to enable developers to easily secure their endpoints with one single operation using its management console and its advanced alerting techniques.

Tim C., an IT manager at Van Der Meer Consulting, writes, "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."

Wouter H., a technical team lead network & security at Missing Piece BV, notes, "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."

Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is a comprehensive solution designed to protect organizations from advanced cyber threats. With its advanced threat detection capabilities, ENS provides real-time visibility into endpoint activities, enabling proactive threat hunting and response.
