We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Endpoint and ESET Endpoint Protection Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"It is stable and scalable."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The entirety of our network infrastructure is Cisco and the most valuable feature is the integration."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the IPS and the integration with ISE."
"The solution makes it possible to see a threat once and block it everywhere across all endpoints and the entire security platform. It has the ability to block right down to the file and application level across all devices based on policies, such as, blacklisting and whitelisting of software and applications. This is good. Its strength is the ability to identify threats very quickly, then lock them and the network down and block the threats across the organization and all devices, which is what you want. You don't want to be spending time working out how to block something. You want to block something very quickly, letting that flow through to all the devices and avoiding the same scenario on different operating systems."
"The product itself is pretty reliable. The security features that it has make it reliable."
"The product's initial setup phase was very simple."
"The most valuable feature is signature-based malware detection."
"I am told that we get over 100 million emails a month. This filters them down and allows only somewhere about three million emails, which is a great help."
"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."
"Primarily used to protect computers from viruses and ransomware."
"I would say that this solution has the best support team in this kind of Endpoint protection product."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Security is that it is light on resources. It has a very low impact on the system. It uses low memory and the setup size is very low."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Security is the antivirus for the endpoints."
"ESET provides good protection."
"I have found ESET Endpoint Antivirus is light on system resources compared with other antivirus solutions that tend to be very heavy on the computers system resources. Additionally, the solution is very secure."
"The solution is easy to install and configure."
"The maintenance is easy."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Its price is okay for us, but it can always be better. There's always room for improvement when it comes to pricing."
"It's pretty good as it is, but its cost could be improved."
"The solution needs more in-depth analytics."
"The reporting and analytics areas of the solution need to be improved."
"The initial setup is a bit complex because you need to execute existing antiviruses or security software that you have on your device."
"Logging could be better in terms of sending more logs to Cisco Firepower or Cisco ASA. That's an area where it could be made better."
"We had a lot of noise at the beginning, and we had to turn it down based on exclusions, application whitelisting, and excluding unknown benign applications. Cisco should understand the need for continuous updates on the custom Cisco exclusions and the custom applications that come out-of-the-box with the AMP for Endpoints."
"It does not include encryption and decryption of local file shares."
"It would be great to have VIP functions added to the solution in a future release."
"I am a MAC user and my asset cybersecurity is continuously displaying warnings that I am not using their firewall."
"The user interface of ESET Endpoint Security could be more user-friendly and more features could be added."
"The detection could be better in ESET Endpoint Security. Sometimes it takes time to detect threats and might be because it's not holding all the memory. There are some features that have to mature. More features might be available in the higher-end product."
"It's not a huge thing, because it doesn't happen very often, but I'll notice sometimes, when there's a startup scan, the computer does bog down a little bit. However, this happens rarely."
"The tool needs to explore security possibilities to secure iOS and Mac devices."
"I think that ESET is a little too heavy on the CPU."
"The problem was that it didn't support Windows 7."
