We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Endpoint and Symantec Endpoint Encryption based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike and others in Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP)."Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The stability is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"It provides real-time visibility and control over endpoints, allowing its users to promptly respond to any security incidents and remediate any vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the IPS and the integration with ISE."
"The most valuable feature is its threat protection and data privacy, including its cyber attack and data protection, as we need to cover and protect data on user devices."
"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 solution is easy to deploy and applies multi-factor authentication."
"I am really satisfied with the technical support."
"The threat Grid with the ability to observe the sandboxing, analyze, and perform investigations of different malicious files has been great."
"The console feature gives a centralized management of what's going on, and if something happens, it gives you an alert. So, that's the most important feature for me."
"We use it for protecting accounts, which is its most valuable feature."
"One notable aspect is the ability to customize alerts and other settings."
"Overall Symantec Endpoint Encryption is a reasonable solution."
"The most valuable feature is that it works in the background so that the end-users are not aware of what is happening on the laptop."
"We can extend it to all of the critical endpoints and the servers, and we can ensure the confidentiality of the data."
"We have been very satisfied with the solution's security capabilities."
"I like the solution for its encryption."
"Their cloud features such as Cloud Endpoint security, ransomware modules, malware, and other modules are very effective."
"The solution is not stable."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"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 product does not provide options like tunnel creation or virtual appliances."
"The technical support is very slow."
"The GUI needs improvement, it's not good."
"We would like to have an API integration with a SIEM solution, because as far as I know, it currently hasn't yet been released."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The initial setup of Cisco Secure Endpoint is complex."
"We would like some advanced security protection features."
"The instability of the company and lack of presence in the Middle East is affecting product use."
"The security could be improved."
"The UI could be improved."
"Upgrades from one version to another may only sometimes be straightforward, especially if one needs a clearer understanding of the process."
"The product can be expensive. Price was a factor in moving away from the product."
"One feature that is lacking is integration with Symantec Information Centric (ICT). As it is now, I don't see how to integrate the encryption with ICT, and in my opinion this is an area that certainly requires encryption, even though it's no longer supported by Broadcom."
"I think that they should improve the on-premises version to include the manageability and simplicity that is available on the cloud."
