Cisco Secure Endpoint vs. Cyberstanc Vortex Threat Detection

Cisco Secure Endpoint is well suited for keeping track of the many different and points that we have in our organization. All of these devices can easily be monitored with Cisco Secure Endpoint. It can monitor our servers and our desktops and laptops in our environment. It isn’t as appropriate for our student devices. However, those aren’t as critical since they are just Chromebooks.

• Threat identification: it finds things we wouldn't have even been looking for.
• Integration with Secure Malware Analytics for automatic submission of suspicious files.
• In-depth and complex configuration options for finely tuned policies for different users and endpoints.
• Part of the Cisco Secure Client product for easier distribution and reduction of running agents on end-user devices
• Integrates with Secure-X for single-pane of glass view of dashboards.

• The update mechanism of the client is not obvious and takes some finesse to learn
• The clients auto update signatures, but not agents which I have seen lead to mixed version levels as it is harder to keep up with
• It is generally a challenge to manage the licenses and if you let the license lapse, it is a very bad thing in my opinion.

AMP is very difficult to use compared to other products we've seen. It's hard to understand why there are so many different logins for the various products that supposedly integrate with AMP. We had weekly phone calls for months to implement the product yet none of the IT department really enjoys using this product or feels comfortable with the accuracy of detections. The number of false positives is high.

no complain and no issue with availability

In terms of technical support for Cisco Secure Endpoint, the support has been pretty good. All the cases I submitted were solved in a reasonable time frame, and it was a good experience. However, I find that not as many vendors have the expertise I would expect.

Other products we use were, I think, well, nothing like Cisco Endpoint. There was Microsoft Defender. I think Sophos and CrowdStrike. I think the visibility and the security. We haven't had any issues with the system. Once it's been implemented, it works fine. The enhancements that come into play, we're benefiting from them. We're benefiting from the Telos threat intel, which is really good as well

• It ensures minimal spread of cyber threats in case of infiltration thanks to containment response capabilities.
• By keeping our endpoints threat-proof, our systems and devices run efficiently hence better productivity.
• It frees IT staff thanks to its automation and ability to keep threats away with minimal intervention.
