Gives our customers visibility and they don't have to go multiple management consoles anymore

One of the examples is related to forensics. The forensics are amazing because when you have enrichment, and the solutions talk with each other, when you need it, you have the ability to know everything in the organization: when, why, whatever. With just one click you have information from email, from the endpoint, from the web. Let's say that tomorrow morning, you have a ransom[ware] attack in your organization and you would like to know from which email it came, or where the customer saved the file, even though the incident didn't occur at the same moment. With SecureX, you have Cisco Threat Response inside. [With] one click, you get all of the flow. That's amazing value. That also releases resources for our customers. The customers don't have to connect many systems and try to register the event on each system, or to go to the SIEM and do a correlation. That's the one-stop shop for the customers, and that's amazing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SecureX enables us to have all the threat intelligence and threat event data in one place."

"The automation and orchestration tools are the most valuable features."

"The ability to create firewalls online has been most valuable including the ability to create rules."

"Using SecureX, a tool provided by Cisco, we can easily integrate it with many of our other Cisco products such as Cisco ISE and many networking devices."

"Our customers find the product's third-party integrations valuable. Our customers are also impressed with the tool's capability to pick up third-party threat feeds and use that as part of the decision-making process."

"The forensics are amazing because when you have enrichment, and the solutions talk with each other, when you need it, you have the ability to know everything in the organization: when, why, whatever."

"One of the most valuable features is the simplicity of deploying SecureX. It's very easy to do that and then you gain very detailed visibility into everything that's going on in your network and, obviously, at the device level. There's just a wealth of information that you can pull from all of these products that are part of SecureX. You know exactly if you have an issue or not."

"SecureX takes all the separate pieces of security within your company, adds in intelligence from different sites and services on the internet, and makes them work together."

More Cisco SecureX [EOL] pros

"I really like the storyline feature."

"We have a preference for their receptor. It's good at finding many EFC files. EFC files could have a virus."

"The XDR capability is quite good."

"The solution can search for hidden and dormant threats on encrypted traffic in your environment."

"Scalable endpoint protection solution that takes seconds to set up per device. It has a rollback feature and offers good technical support."

"It is easy to collect and retain logs with SentinelOne."

"It is great for security monitoring and blocking when needed."

"The deep visibility is really important for us. With it, we can really look deep into some of the incidents."

More SentinelOne Singularity Complete pros

Cons

"One of the improvements the product needs is more integration with collaboration platforms."

"what's missing right now is the multi-tenant capability."

"For us, the biggest sticking point is that the product is not being designed for multi-tenancy use at present, from an MSP perspective."

"They could put in more third-party [integrations]... also more playbooks, out-of-the-box, for automation [would be helpful]."

"If they could make the Cisco Umbrella piece a little bit more advanced or easier to manage, that would help. We use it for filtering and when you compare it to a normal content filter, it lacks some functionality."

"The front-end work controls the new algorithm and the firewall rules. The search feature of these rules could be improved."

"I would like it to integrate with another solution, e.g., DNA. I would like it to connect to that solution, but not the security aspect."

"Remediation stuff could be integrated into the product's automation."

More Cisco SecureX [EOL] cons

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete needs to improve the integration capabilities with SIEM."

"The false positive rate has room for improvement."

"We have had cases where Singularity Complete has caused applications to malfunction."

"All they need to do to improve it is for it to grow further. The hackers don't sleep. If the hackers don't sleep, the solution continually needs to be updated. They need to keep ahead of the hackers."

"They can just continue adding more integrations with these big brands and software security products."

"SentinelOne needs to provide more documentation for administrators and analytics."

"The channel policy has room for improvement."

"SentinelOne needs to improve its endpoint deployment process."

More SentinelOne Singularity Complete cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is the best part of this solution. It is free if you buy Umbrella or Duo Security. It is also a good solution."

"Cisco SecureX is more expensive than Trend Micro. However, considering the integration capabilities with other solutions and the quality of technical support, I believe there's justification for the price difference."

"The pricing is competitive, especially for education institutions. Licensing can be a little bit difficult to navigate, especially with resellers with Cisco, but for us it has been pretty easy."

"It is free. It can't get any better than that."

"For the value you get, the pricing of the solution is excellent."

"You can spend less money for another solution, but if you really want to have a good solution you have to pay. We are happy that we are getting such a good solution for what we are spending."

"The product is absolutely free to any customer. As such, the only thing one must keep in mind is that as long as he already has one Cisco security product, irregardless of what that product is, SecureX is available for free."

"It comes free with all Cisco products. So, it is a good price."

More Cisco SecureX [EOL] pricing and cost advice

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete can be expensive for the SMB market but is suitable for enterprise-level organizations."

"We buy the licensing in bulk. From a pricing standpoint, because we buy in bulk, we get very good pricing. Based on its functionality and capabilities, it is well worth the price. I do not think it is at all expensive based on what you get in the solution. We use the complete up to the core. Our pricing is probably a little bit more than somebody who is on the core. In general, it is well worth what you get for the price you pay."

"Its pricing is competitive."

"The cost of Singularity Complete is similar to our previous solution but it comes with additional options such as Kubernetes integration."

"At this time it is only a trial. After the trial period, I am going to purchase two licenses from SentinelOne."

"From what I understand, it is pricey, but it works. It is a very good product."

"SentinelOne was half the price of CrowdStrike."

"It is very affordable and easy to license, and it allows us to onboard new analysts quickly, with a turnaround time of one day at most."

Reviews from Real Users

Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Cisco SecureX users.

PeerSpot user Wouter H., Technical Team Lead Network & Security at Missing Piece BV, shares several reasons why he thinks the solution is fantastic. In his opinion, “SecureX takes all the separate pieces of security within your company, adds in intelligence from different sites and services on the internet, and makes them work together. If an email is received on a machine and malware is being executed, it can be put into lockdown mode. The fact that you can have a single solution that combines endpoint intelligence with email intelligence, firewalls, and publicly available intelligence is really helpful. Also, SecureX provides us with contextual awareness throughout our security ecosystem. Before SecureX, things that were not possible, or that would take days, now literally take seconds to find out.

Michal S., Infrastructure Engineer at a media company, says, “SecureX provides many measurements and has a really good dashboard. Working with it you are able to see things very clearly and you have every detail on a single display. That saves us money and time.” He also adds, “It brings all our data into a central point. It also shows us many data connections between many of our environments. SecureX gives you really good information about potential risks. You are able to find the source of a risk, a potential risk from a user or a machine.”

Blair A., Technology Director at Shawnee Heights USD #450, explains, "One of the most valuable features is the simplicity of deploying SecureX. It's very easy to do that and then you gain very detailed visibility into everything that's going on in your network and, obviously, at the device level. There's just a wealth of information that you can pull from all of these products that are part of SecureX. You know exactly if you have an issue or not."
