Featured Reviews

Ahmed-Dawood - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool that offers good performance and technical support along with great protection to endpoint devices
The vendor from Cisco takes care of the maintenance. We need three people to take care of the tool in case of crashes. From the dashboard, we come to know about everything related to the endpoint. You can take action unless it is not the physical hardware to which something wrong has happened, especially if something wrong happens to the operating system. I would definitely recommend the solution to those planning to use it. To provide endpoint protection, I feel the product should be speedy enough to detect malicious programs and trojans. There are a lot of tools that are not acting as signature-based but as behavior-based antivirus. Cisco Secure Endpoint is required, especially if the customers don't have a sandbox. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.
Rodrigo Censi - PeerSpot reviewer
Patch management and integration capabilities drive effective endpoint response management
We work with Kaspersky and two modalities: the Censi final and Censi license. Most of our clients work in financial areas and industry. Our regular enterprise business relies on these solutions Kaspersky is viable with ADR; the Endpoint Detection response feature and the BitLocker management…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I'm only using the AMP (advanced malware protection) which is protecting my file system from all the malicious things that might happen. It should protect all kinds of things that might happen on the servers, things that I cannot see."
"I am really satisfied with the technical support."
"The product provides sandboxing options like file reputation and file analysis."
"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."
"The solution’s most valuable feature is malware protection."
"The entirety of our network infrastructure is Cisco and the most valuable feature is the integration."
"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 simplicity of use is its most valuable feature. You can very clearly see things."
"Kaspersky is one of the best, and we are working with it today."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert offers centralized monitoring where we can monitor everything from a single point. I also like its security and network traffic features."
"The most valuable feature of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is security. It has better security than other solutions, such as Symantec."
"The most valuable feature is endpoint protection."
"The most valuable features of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response are the threat detection technologies, and activity monitoring and support tools. Additionally, the port and USB security, and antivirus are effective."
"The product has an easy-to-use EDR module based on signature-based antivirus detection. It is a complete software."
"The performance for Kaspersky is good, and it's not impacted our client performance."
"This solution is quite responsive and the tech support engineers are kind and good."
 

Cons

"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 greatest value of all, would be to make the security into a single pane of glass. Whilst these products are largely integrated from a Talos perspective, they're not integrated from a portal perspective. For example, we have to look at an Umbrella portal and a separate AMP portal. We also have to look at a separate portal for the firewalls. If I could wave a magic wand and have one thing, I would put all the Cisco products into one, simple management portal."
"Integration and dashboard are areas with certain shortcomings in Cisco Secure Endpoint."
"Due to the complexity of the technology that is used and its advanced threat detection capabilities, it is possible to encounter many delays in operation."
"Previously, there were options to uninstall the agent without a password if you had admin access, and this could be improved."
"It's pretty good as it is, but its cost could be improved."
"It could be improved in connection with artificial intelligence and IoT."
"Cisco Meraki could benefit from AI assistance or intelligent assistance features. Compared to competitors like Juniper, Cisco Meraki currently lacks a digital network assistant, which is an area Cisco is reportedly working on."
"We'd like to see them improve the automatic response."
"The Kaspersky console could be easier to navigate and generate reports from."
"There is a problem with the solution, it came from Russia and we are looking for a replacement."
"We'd like more integrations to be available in the future."
"It consumes many system resources."
"I am not happy with Kaspersky's support since basic support is very cool unless you pay for some advanced support, in which you get better responses and feedback from Kaspersky's team."
"There are some issues with EDR's web policy blocking sites that are marked as exceptions."
"The system can be heavy, slowing down performance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Enterprise Agreement is like an all-you-can-eat buffet of Cisco products. In that vein, it was very affordable."
"The pricing and licensing of the security solutions of Cisco are very good in comparison with the competitors, but sometimes, it's difficult to see all the discounts and other kinds of things. So, you have to be careful, but the pricing is good."
"...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."
"Cisco Secure Endpoint is not too expensive and it's not cheap. It's quite fair."
"The solution's price is about the same as that of Palo Alto solutions."
"We have a license for 3,000 users and if we get up to 3,100 users, it doesn't stop working, but on the next renewal date you're supposed to go in there and add that extra 100 licenses. It's really good that they let you grow and expand and then pay for it. Sometimes, with other products, you overuse a license and they just don't work."
"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 pricing and licensing fees are okay."
"Kaspersky is licensed on a yearly basis."
"The solution isn't the cheapest considering what you get. I would rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The license for EDR costs about 1,000 pesos per user. I would rate the pricing as four out of five."
"Endpoint's pricing is good, especially compared to expensive solutions like Sophos."
"We have been satisfied with the license of the solution."
"Kaspersky's pricing is very competitive when it comes to comparison with the other solutions."
"There is an annual license to use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. The price overall is a bit expensive when compared to other solutions. There are not any additional fees other than the license."
