Cisco Secure Endpoint and SonicWall Capture Client are two leading cybersecurity solutions. Cisco Secure Endpoint tends to have the upper hand due to its integration within the Cisco ecosystem and competitive pricing.
Features: Users highlight Cisco Secure Endpoint's comprehensive threat detection, automated response capabilities, and integration with other Cisco security products. SonicWall Capture Client is praised for its deep packet inspection, endpoint isolation, and integration with firewalls.
Room for Improvement: Users suggest Cisco Secure Endpoint could benefit from a more intuitive setup process and better reporting features. For SonicWall Capture Client, users recommend enhancements in the update procedure and user experience.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Cisco Secure Endpoint receives positive feedback for its flexible deployment model and responsive customer support. SonicWall Capture Client is appreciated for straightforward deployment but receives mixed reviews on customer service.
Pricing and ROI: User reviews show that Cisco Secure Endpoint offers competitive pricing and a favorable return on investment. SonicWall Capture Client similarly provides good value, but some users feel its pricing is higher.
Cisco has good technical support, especially considering these are newer solutions compared to traditional routing and switching products.
Partners can purchase single endpoints at prices equivalent to 1,000-endpoint deals, providing an advantage for managed security service provider partners.
While their escalation process is understandable, it can be time-consuming as all logs need to be provided multiple times across different service levels.
Cisco Secure Endpoint is definitely scalable.
There are no restrictions on the scalability of SonicWall Capture Client.
SonicWall Capture Client is accessed via cloud-based management console.
The installation process is straightforward, requiring only five pilot installations to enable customers to complete the remaining installations independently.
We have not encountered any problems.
The forensic capabilities need enhancement, especially for deep forensic data collection.
One of the drawbacks is that I cannot use Advanced and Premier licenses within a single tenant, which can be problematic when users need to deploy different licenses.
A significant limitation is that SonicWall Capture Client cannot be installed on smartphones, as there is no mobile version available.
XDR cannot be used unless MDR services are purchased with SonicWall.
Cisco is aggressive in pricing, making it competitive and sometimes even cheaper than other good products like CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, or SentinelOne.
SonicWall Capture Client offers a cost-effective solution that's cheaper compared to other vendors like CrowdStrike.
Cisco Secure Endpoint is very good in machine learning, which allows it to secure offline contents even if not connected to the internet.
Machine learning is particularly effective due to SonicWall sandboxing's threat intelligence database of approximately 7.1 billion entries.
One is that users can use the sandbox of SonicWall, which is called Capture ATP for free.

Reviews from Real Users
Cisco Secure Endpoint stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to enable developers to easily secure their endpoints with one single operation using its management console and its advanced alerting techniques.
Tim C., an IT manager at Van Der Meer Consulting, writes, "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."
Wouter H., a technical team lead network & security at Missing Piece BV, notes, "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."
SonicWall Capture Client is a unified client platform that delivers multiple endpoint protection capabilities, including next-generation malware protection and application vulnerability intelligence. It leverages cloud sandbox file testing, comprehensive reporting, and enforcement for endpoint protection.
We monitor all Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post reviews by company employees or direct competitors. We validate each review for authenticity via cross-reference with LinkedIn, and personal follow-up with the reviewer when necessary.
