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

"The solution is easy to deploy and applies multi-factor authentication."
"The product itself is pretty reliable. The security features that it has make it reliable."
"The entirety of our network infrastructure is Cisco and the most valuable feature is the integration."
"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."
"Definitely, the best feature for Cisco Secure Endpoint is the integration with Talos. On the backend, Talos checks all the signatures, all the malware, and for any attacks going on around the world... Because Secure Endpoint has a connection to it, we get protected by it right then and there."
"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 provides sandboxing options like file reputation and file analysis."
"The solution's integration capabilities are excellent. It's one of the best features."
"Fast encryption feature."
"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."
"The disk encryption is great."
"The most valuable feature is the support for email."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption is security."
"It's a secure and quick solution."
"One valuable feature is full disk encryption."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the antivirus part it offers."
 

Cons

"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."
"Maybe there is room for improvement in some of the automated remediation. We have other tools in place that AMP feeds into that allow for that to happen, so I look at it as one seamless solution. But if you're buying AMP all by itself, I don't know if it can remove malicious software after the fact or if it requires the other tools that we use to do some of that."
"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... That way you could get a more accurate device count, so you're not having an inflated number."
"The GUI needs improvement, it's not good."
"The pricing policy could be more competitive, similar to Cisco's offerings."
"I would recommend that the solution offer more availability in terms of the product portfolio and integration with third-party products."
"It could be improved in connection with artificial intelligence and IoT."
"The initial setup of Cisco Secure Endpoint is complex."
"Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption currently lacks something similar to a firewall that can detect any vulnerabilities."
"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."
"Integration and support could be improved."
"In the next release, it would be better if it was more user-friendly. It is a little complicated for the average technical person. If they can make it more user-friendly, it would be much easier and more helpful."
"Support from them was not fast."
"If Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption comes up with a SaaS solution, it will be better rather than just having an on-premises solution."
"The user interface is a little challenging, especially for beginners. It's hard for new users to understand how to configure the correct access for each company function."
"It would be great if this solution had support for file integrity monitoring."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the pricing a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"Cisco Secure Endpoint is not too expensive and it's not cheap. It's quite fair."
"The price is very good."
"The solution's price is about the same as that of Palo Alto solutions."
"Because we do see the value of what it's bringing, I think they have priced it well."
"...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 Enterprise Agreement is like an all-you-can-eat buffet of Cisco products. In that vein, it was very affordable."
"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."
"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."
"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."
