Find out what your peers are saying about CrowdStrike, Microsoft, SentinelOne and others in Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP).
Sophos SafeGuard is able to save time and money for my clients because, when comparing it with Microsoft BitLocker, it's easier to use and cost-effective.
Cisco has good technical support, especially considering these are newer solutions compared to traditional routing and switching products.
For technical support from Sophos, I would rate it a perfect ten.
I've only needed support when I'm having issues setting up my firewall, and as long as the case is severe, you get someone that calls you back and walks with you as quickly as possible.
Cisco Secure Endpoint is definitely scalable.
Sophos SafeGuard has different options available, so I can recommend it for small, medium, or enterprise level.
We have not encountered any problems.
If I were to rate stability from one to ten, I would give it a nine.
The forensic capabilities need enhancement, especially for deep forensic data collection.
The only drawback I see with Sophos SafeGuard is that it lacks a SASE solution, which is a separate product that Sophos does not currently have.
Cisco is aggressive in pricing, making it competitive and sometimes even cheaper than other good products like CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, or SentinelOne.
Cisco Secure Endpoint is very good in machine learning, which allows it to secure offline contents even if not connected to the internet.
There is a policy on my firewall that restricts any system that synchronizes with the endpoint working on all my servers and workstations, and if any system is found to be infected, because it synchronizes with the firewall, the rules drop the packet and alert the IT administrator.
From my reseller perspective, the best part of Sophos SafeGuard is that Sophos has an encryption mechanism called two-way encryption, which enhances security and reliability.

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."
