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.

A scalable SaaS based platform that helps with cyber threat intelligence and automated hunting

I would rate Cisco SecureX a ten out of ten. I find the product to be a fantastic platform. If you are eligible, start using it straight away. The best way to evaluate it is to start using it and see where it fits within your organization. I think it helps our customers really deliver their SecOps goals, and I see it as a core foundation of CAE's own security strategy going forward. Our partnership with Cisco is one that was built on trust over a long period of time. This has enabled us to work together to be able to provide the solutions that our customers need to drive their organizations forward. The value we add as a reseller is being able to work closer with our customers, understand them, and get intimate with their organizations. That enables us to offer them the right solutions that will help them achieve their goals.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The threat Grid with the ability to observe the sandboxing, analyze, and perform investigations of different malicious files has been great."

"Device Trajectory is one of the most valuable features. We're able to dig in and really understand how things came to be and where to focus our efforts."

"The visibility and insight this solution gives you into threats is pretty granular. It has constant monitoring. You can get onto the device trajectory to look at a threat, but you can also see what happened prior to the threat. You can see what happened after the threat. You can see what other applications were incorporated into the execution of the threat. For example, you have the event, but you see that the event was launched by Google Chrome, which was launched by something else. Then, after the event, something else was launched by whatever the threat was. Therefore, it gives you great detail, a timeline, and continuity of events leading up to whatever the incident is, and then, after. This helps you understand and nail down what the threat is and how to fix it."

"The product itself is pretty reliable. The security features that it has make it reliable."

"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."

"The biggest lesson that I have learned from using this product is that there is a lot more malware slipping through my email filters than I expected."

"The stability of the solution is perfect. I believe it's the most stable solution on the market right now."

"Overall, I really liked the product; it was well done."

More Cisco Secure Endpoint pros

"It is one of my favorite things that has ever been built."

"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."

"This solution definitely helps us meet our cyber security goals and we haven't had any problems so far."

"When it comes as a business bundle, we come to customers to provide a one-stop shop, and we provide a return of value on human resources, with an XDR SecureX platform offer that customers love."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is its ability to manage all the applications and visibility. For example, if there is malware, spam, or another component that wants to attack the company in my servers, network, or applications, then SecureX will react to the problem."

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

"Integrates well with our existing security infrastructure."

More Cisco SecureX [EOL] pros

Cons

"Pricing can be more expensive than similar software that does less functionality, but not recognized by customers."

"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."

"Cisco is good in terms of threat intelligence plus machine learning-based solutions, but we feel Cisco is lagging behind in using artificial intelligence in its systems."

"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."

"Previously, there were options to uninstall the agent without a password if you had admin access, and this could be improved."

"I would like them to add whatever makes filtering more advanced in scanning and blocking for malware in emails."

"The Linux agent has conflicts with other solutions, including the Exploit Prevention system found in Windows servers, and we didn't find a fix during troubleshooting, and Cisco couldn't offer one either."

"Its price is okay for us, but it can always be better. There's always room for improvement when it comes to pricing."

More Cisco Secure Endpoint cons

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

"They could expand into more areas."

"The documentation can be improved and the on-prem integration. The set of applications that it was integrated with wasn't comprehensive."

"Sometimes it's a little slow so that is also something Cisco should check."

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

"It would be nice if they had a different pricing model. Most of our budget for projects goes towards Cisco."

"Enhancing automation capabilities could further improve the product."

"I'm not sure that I would call it a bug, but sometimes the solution is a little slow."

More Cisco SecureX [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is very good."

"I rate the pricing a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."

"Cisco's pricing is reasonable. We also do not need to opt for niche players, which would have charged us significantly more than Cisco for ecosystem solutions. We are highly satisfied with the pricing structure of Cisco's solutions they are reasonable."

"In our case, it is a straightforward annual payment through our Enterprise Agreement."

"It can always be cheaper."

"You must make monthly payments towards the licensing charges attached to the product. There are no extra charges apart from the standard licensing fees associated with the product."

"There are a couple of different consumption models: Pay up front, or if you have an enterprise agreement, you can do a monthly thing. Check your licensing possibilities and see what's best for your organization."

"...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."

More Cisco Secure Endpoint pricing and cost advice

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

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

"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 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."

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

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

"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."

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."
