We performed a comparison between Check Point Pointsec [EOL], Cisco Secure Endpoint, and Symantec Endpoint Encryption based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Sophos, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Endpoint Encryption."Full disk encryption helps us ensure that data stored on a device is encrypted."
"At the time when this tool was launched on the market, it had new technologies integrated within."
"One of the characteristics that give us the most value is that it offers the ability to perform HTTPS inspections."
"Check Point GAiA is easy to use."
"The product's initial setup phase was very simple."
"It's quite simple, and the advantage I see is that I get the trajectory of what happened inside the network, how a file has been transmitted to the workstation, and which files have got corrupted."
"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 entirety of our network infrastructure is Cisco and the most valuable feature is the integration."
"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."
"appreciate the File Trajectory feature, as it's excellent for an analyst or mobile analyst. I can track everything that happens on our server from my PC or device. Integration with SecureX is a welcome feature because it connects Cisco's integrated security portfolio with our complete infrastructure. Sandboxing is helpful, and integration with the Cisco environment is excellent as we use many of their products, and that's very valuable for us."
"Among the most valuable features are the exclusions. And on the scalability side, we can integrate well with the SIEM orchestration engine and a number of applications that are proprietary or open source."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the IPS and the integration with ISE."
"In general terms, it is working properly and according to our expectations. The comfort of feeling secure is the most valuable. Some customers had certain fears about changing the product because no one wants to lose any kind of information or to have some problems or inconsistencies while migrating from one product to another."
"It helps us put antivirus solutions in place and prevent malware from getting to our machines."
"We can extend it to all of the critical endpoints and the servers, and we can ensure the confidentiality of the data."
"I like the management aspect of this solution. You don't want to have end-users tweak or set it themselves, so the fact that you could do it from a central point helped us a lot."
"It is fairly stable."
"The installation process is pretty straightforward."
"It is stable."
"Disk encryption and file and folder encryption are the most valuable and used features. It is also very well integrated with Symantec Messaging Gateway and Symantec DLP, which is helpful in protecting any kind of information that goes outside. Symantec DLP catches an email and sends it to the encryption server. The encryption server encrypts the email and intimates to the user that confidential information is being sent out. The administrator can then take appropriate action."
"The UI was one of the most difficult points to get used to. Due to the UI, even though it was used every day, the administration was complicated."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see application identity support."
"We would maybe want (in the future) advanced security in the filtering of access to the metaverse by augmented reality cameras."
"The installation was quite complex."
"It could be improved in connection with artificial intelligence and IoT."
"The thing I hate the most, which they have not fixed, is when it creates duplicate entries within a console. If you have a computer and you upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10, or you upgrade your agent from version 6 to 7, it creates a new instance in there instead of updating the information. Instead of paying a license for one computer, I have to license two computers until I manually go in, search for all the duplicate entries, and clean them out myself."
"The connector updates are very easily done now, and that's improving. Previously, the connector had an issue, where almost every time it needed to be updated, it required a machine reboot. This was always a bit of an inconvenience and a bug. Because with a lot of software now, you don't need to do that and shouldn't need to be rebooting all the time."
"In the next release, I would for it to have back up abilities. I would like the ability to go back to a point in time to when my PC was uninfected and to the moment of when the infection happened."
"The solution needs more in-depth analytics."
"The GUI needs improvement, it's not good."
"The technical support is very slow."
"The product does not provide options like tunnel creation or virtual appliances."
"We would like some advanced security protection features."
"Symantec Endpoint Encryption can improve by being more secure."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"The UI could be improved."
"There are some issues with the single sign-on with the active directory. We had a few problems related to the synchronization between the active directory and the login features of the Symantec products because the users made many password changes during the day. The time for synchronization with the solutions can be improved. I would like to see mobile encryption. There should be a possibility to include all the mobiles of a company in the console. Many customers are asking about encryptions for tablets or cell phones, but we don't have any product that we are comfortable with to recommend to our customers."
"The GUI could use some enhancement, particularly in making option sets easier to locate on client machines."
"I can only patch monthly. I don't know what the solution is there, besides being vulnerable for three weeks out of four. But there's got to be an option somehow."
"The solution presently doesn't let network folder encryption be done on Macintosh."
