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 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."
"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."
"Real-time threat prevention using sandboxing, file trajectory, and retrospective security."
"The entirety of our network infrastructure is Cisco and the most valuable feature is the integration."
"I'm only using the AMP (advanced malware protection) which is protecting my file system from all the malicious things that might happen. It should protect all kinds of things that might happen on the servers, things that I cannot see."
"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 tool's most valuable feature is its integration with other Cisco products, such as switches and routers. This integration allows comprehensive coverage of security parameters across the customer's entire network. Customers find it easier to manage because they already know Cisco products. The cloud-based management is another valuable feature, enabling customers to manage their security from anywhere with an internet connection."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption is security."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the antivirus part it offers."
"The disk encryption is great."
"The solution enables all the development and technical team members to work from home while, at the same time, ensuring the security of the work environment."
"It's a secure and quick solution."
"The solution is good overall. All of its features are good."
"Logging and reporting capabilities of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption help with compliance verification, and there are no issues."
"Fast encryption feature."
 

Cons

"Its price is okay for us, but it can always be better. There's always room for improvement when it comes to pricing."
"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."
"It is not very stable because we have new versions four times a year, which fixes bugs. We had some problems with some deployments."
"We don't have issues. We think that Cisco covers all of the security aspects on the market. They continue to innovate in the right way."
"This product has issues with the number of false positives that it reports."
"The product does not provide options like tunnel creation or virtual appliances."
"It could be improved in connection with artificial intelligence and IoT."
"Previously, there were options to uninstall the agent without a password if you had admin access, and this could be improved."
"Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption currently lacks something similar to a firewall that can detect any vulnerabilities."
"It would be great if this solution had support for file integrity monitoring."
"In terms of what must be improved, I would say the support, the next feature, and the road map. I think all these must be improved, but the important thing to improve is the support."
"Should have more features of Deep Scanning"
"Integration and support could be improved."
"I would like to see more integration. Good cloud-based solutions need to be arrayed. I'd like to see better integration with administrative tools as well as Active Directory integration."
"Compared to Bitlocker or McAfee Disk Encryption, it's not quite as robust."
"There are recovery issues that arise."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"...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."
"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 price is very fair to the customer."
"It can always be cheaper."
"It is a subscription-based product."
"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."
"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."
"Cisco Secure Endpoint is not too expensive and it's not cheap. It's quite fair."
"We pay for Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption every six months. The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The drive encryption of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption could improve. Some of my customers have some problems."
"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."
"One of the reasons we decided to go with Trend Micro Endpoint Security is because of its cost effectiveness."
"You have to pay for the license annually."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is high price, and ten is low price."
