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.

Centralized encryption management has strengthened compliance and protects sensitive data daily
When deploying Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption, we faced some issues where scanning was not happening properly, and the policies may not have been created properly, which is the reason it was not working. There could be improvements specifically about the scanning part and policy part where we have to deploy what we actually require. I would like to see features that include collaboration of all alerts and applied analytics so we can immediately identify issues. Analytics can provide immediate reporting before issues spread, as sometimes one issue captured at the site level can spread to high-level operations. If identified and communicated to the team immediately, it could prevent issues. Usually, downloading and reviewing the report takes too much time, and many engineers skip it due to the volume of tasks. However, analytics could generate alerts and ticketing if integrated with the EMS application.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its most valuable features are its scalability and advanced threat protection for customers."
"The biggest lesson that I have learned from using this product is that there is a lot more malware slipping through my email filters than I expected."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its technical support."
"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."
"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 VPN is most valuable. It's the best thing in the market today. We can use two-factor authentication with another platform, and we can authenticate with two-factor."
"The product itself is pretty reliable. The security features that it has make it reliable."
"Cisco Secure Endpoint is very good in machine learning, which allows it to secure offline contents even if not connected to the internet."
"Trend Micro provides good overall protection. It has saved us from a few attacks and malware."
"Fast encryption feature."
"The solution is good overall. All of its features are good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the antivirus part it offers."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy, considering the management console and software."
"Encryption is the basic feature, and that is what I like about it. I also like that it is kind of easy to install and easy to configure."
"Endpoint can give you the full details about how the attacker moved into and through your system. That description shows you each and every step up to the cabinet-level."
"It's a secure and quick solution."
 

Cons

"Cisco Secure Endpoint lacks features like DLP which other vendors offer. XDR is new, so integration capabilities with third-party tools need improvement."
"Integration and dashboard are areas with certain shortcomings in Cisco Secure Endpoint."
"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."
"The user interface is dull."
"The pricing policy could be more competitive, similar to Cisco's offerings."
"I would like them to add whatever makes filtering more advanced in scanning and blocking for malware in emails."
"The GUI needs improvement, it's not good."
"We have had some problems with updates not playing nice with our environment. This is important, because if there is a new version, we need to test it thoroughly before it goes into production. We cannot just say, "There's a new version. It's not going to give us any problems." With the complexity of the solution using multiple engines for multiple tasks, it can sometimes cause performance issues on our endpoints. Therefore, we need to test it before we deploy. That takes one to three days before we can be certain that the new version plays nice with our environment."
"Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption currently lacks something similar to a firewall that can detect any vulnerabilities."
"They need to come up with cloud solutions."
"There are recovery issues that arise."
"I would like to improve the solution's support."
"We would like to see a wider, better dashboard for the purposes of monitoring the users of the Trend Micro software."
"Compared to Bitlocker or McAfee Disk Encryption, it's not quite as robust."
"We had to use an integrator for the implementation of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption. We have two people who work on this solution."
"When deploying Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption, we faced some issues where scanning was not happening properly, and the policies may not have been created properly, which is the reason it was not working."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. The cost of AMP for Endpoints is inline with all the other software that has a monthly endpoint cost. It might be a little bit higher than other antivirus type products, but we're only talking about a dollar a month per user. I don't see that cost as being an issue if it's going to give us the confidence and security that we're looking for. We have had a lot of success and happiness with what we're using, so there's no point in changing."
"Because we do see the value of what it's bringing, I think they have priced it well."
"The price is very fair to the customer."
"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."
"There is also the Cisco annual subscription plus my management time in terms of what I do with the Cisco product. I spend a minimal amount of time on it though, just rolling out updates as they need them and monitoring the console a couple of times a day to ensure nothing is out of control. Cost-wise, we are quite happy with it."
"The Enterprise Agreement is like an all-you-can-eat buffet of Cisco products. In that vein, it was very affordable."
"Pricing is a big issue."
"You have to pay for the license annually."
"One of the reasons we decided to go with Trend Micro Endpoint Security is because of its cost effectiveness."
"The drive encryption of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption could improve. Some of my customers have some problems."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is high price, and ten is low price."
"We pay for Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption every six months. The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
