Find out in this report how the two Cisco Security Portfolio solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."They have recently made a lot of improvements. My clients don't have much to complain about."
"In terms of features, I think they've done a lot of improvement on the graphical user interface — it looks really good right now."
"The solution is great for establishing trust for every access request no matter where it comes from."
"The most important feature for us is visibility in terms of user connections. It's the ability to see what devices are online for a particular user that helps a lot with our troubleshooting."
"It is a good product for what it does...So, it is one of the most critical systems that we have."
"The solution is very reliable."
"I really enjoy the live log section. Sometimes, you will have someone who is having issues connecting to the network, and then you have to ask them the dreaded question of, "Did you type a password wrong?" They will probably tell you, "No," but the live log can help sort that out. It gives us that extra ability to assist the end user and make sure that we are making them happy."
"RADIUS is the best feature because it supplies authentication to our entire campus."
"The integration with other Cisco products seemed to be really effective. We had Umbrella in place and we were using AnyConnect as well as Firepower. Once a threat was detected, being able to do the threat lookups and the live tracking was really useful."
"It is a very stable program."
"There are several valuable features including strong prevention and exceptional reporting capabilities."
"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."
"The biggest lesson that I have learned from using this product is that there is a lot more malware slipping through my email filters than I expected."
"The solution's integration capabilities are excellent. It's one of the best features."
"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."
"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."
"Cisco ISE does not recognize devices and that is an issue we faced during its integration with our existing devices."
"The initial setup was a little bit complex. It's not that simple because it requires a lot of prerequisites for the solution to get a hold on."
"We face many bugs."
"This product doesn't work in isolation."
"The web interface needs improvement. The new web interface that they have is not as easy to manage and we find it to be very slow."
"The pricing is fair."
"They should improve the upgrades. It's not easy to upgrade the solution."
"Troubleshooting and multi-ISE can be challenging with the solution."
"An easier way to do deduplication of machines, or be alerted to the fact that there's more than one instance of a machine, would be useful... That way you could get a more accurate device count, so you're not having an inflated number."
"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."
"In the next version of this solution, I would like to see the addition of local authentication."
"The technical support is very slow."
"Integration and dashboard are areas with certain shortcomings in Cisco Secure Endpoint."
"We had a lot of noise at the beginning, and we had to turn it down based on exclusions, application whitelisting, and excluding unknown benign applications. Cisco should understand the need for continuous updates on the custom Cisco exclusions and the custom applications that come out-of-the-box with the AMP for Endpoints."
"It's pretty good as it is, but its cost could be improved."
"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."
