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.

Automation simplifies workflows with no code and excellent support
Reporting and dashboards could be more advanced for deeper analysis. Tines has its own dashboard, which displays information like how many stories have been created and how many automations have taken place. However, the reporting and dashboard are not advanced; they are quite basic, with fewer customizable options. The look and feel of the dashboard could be enhanced. Another area for improvement is in terms of documentation, as every tool and company has its own knowledge base.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a very stable program."
"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."
"Real-time threat prevention using sandboxing, file trajectory, and retrospective security."
"Secure Endpoint has decreased our time to remediate by providing the tools and the integrations we need so we can quickly look across our entire network, look for those threats, and actually make good decisions."
"The stability of the solution is perfect. I believe it's the most stable solution on the market right now."
"It used to take us a month to find out that something is infected, we now know that same day, as soon it is infected."
"For the initial first level of support, we provide it from our side. If there's escalation required, we use Cisco tech for the AMP. And again, they are perfect. I mean, one of the best, compared to any other vendors."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features is that it’s a low-code solution."
"The best thing is that it's no code, so it doesn't require coding knowledge."
"The tool was vendor-neutral."
"The best advantage is the no-code automation, excellent customer support services, and ease of integration with other tools."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"...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."
"We don't have issues. We think that Cisco covers all of the security aspects on the market. They continue to innovate in the right way."
"The user interface is dull."
"The GUI needs improvement, it's not good."
"I would like more seamless integration."
"It could be improved in connection with artificial intelligence and IoT."
"Tines was a little bit more expensive than Torq."
"Maybe Tines can add more features and demonstrations, like videos on how to use the features within the tool."
"They started implementing some AI, and their AI is isolated."
"Reporting and dashboards could be more advanced for deeper analysis."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I rate the pricing a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"Cisco Secure Endpoint is not too expensive and it's not cheap. It's quite fair."
"Whenever you are doing the licensing process, I would highly advise to look at what other Cisco solutions you have in your organization, then evaluate if an Enterprise Agreement is the best way to go. In our case, it was the best way to go. Since we had so many other Cisco products, we were able to tie those in. We were actually able to get several Cisco security solutions for less than if we had bought three or four Cisco security solutions independently or ad hoc."
"In our case, it is a straightforward annual payment through our Enterprise Agreement."
"The costs of 50 licenses of AMP for three years is around $9,360."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis and I am happy with the pricing."
