We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Endpoint and Cisco Umbrella based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The most valuable features of this solution are the IPS and the integration with ISE."
"The product's initial setup phase was very simple."
"The stability of the solution is perfect. I believe it's the most stable solution on the market right now."
"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."
"The product itself is pretty reliable. The security features that it has make it reliable."
"The solution is easy to deploy and applies multi-factor authentication."
"If somebody has been compromised, the question always is: How has it affected other devices in the network? Cisco AMP gives you a very neat view of that."
"There are several valuable features including strong prevention and exceptional reporting capabilities."
"We use Cisco Umbrella for DNS filtering and as a secure gateway."
"Application performance has greatly improved and there are less operational issues. Productivity has been going up because we have less operational issues. Also, we have happy customers."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to detect if a URL has malware or is vulnerable."
"Provides dependable DNS monitoring of external devices."
"Overall, it is a very good solution. It is a simple solution and very easy to set up."
"It will protect, give you more robustness, and faster responses, compared to any firewalls or any of the proxy web servers."
"It has improved our organization from a security posture perspective. We feel more confident now knowing that we can block phishing attempts or any type of malware that is DNS-related. This is a very nice feature that provides peace of mind."
"The most valuable feature is that it secures our network against blacklisted or malicious websites."
"The initial setup is a bit complex because you need to execute existing antiviruses or security software that you have on your device."
"In the next release, I would for it to have back up abilities. I would like the ability to go back to a point in time to when my PC was uninfected and to the moment of when the infection happened."
"We have had some problems with updates not playing nice with our environment. This is important, because if there is a new version, we need to test it thoroughly before it goes into production. We cannot just say, "There's a new version. It's not going to give us any problems." With the complexity of the solution using multiple engines for multiple tasks, it can sometimes cause performance issues on our endpoints. Therefore, we need to test it before we deploy. That takes one to three days before we can be certain that the new version plays nice with our environment."
"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 terms of the user experience, if the UX design could be much simpler [that would improve things]... if they could make it more intuitive for someone who is not an engineer so that they still can read what's going on in their webpage and understand, that would be something."
"The integration of the Cisco products for security could be better in the sense that not everything is integrated, and they aren't working together. In addition, not all products are multi-tenant, so you can't separate different customer environments from each other, which makes it a little bit hard for a managed service provider to deliver services to the customers."
"The GUI needs improvement, it's not good."
"It does not include encryption and decryption of local file shares."
"It would be useful if they had a malware protection engine running inside their own VM."
"I'm hoping for the conversion of Cisco ZTNA's features from Duo to Umbrella."
"The locks and management could be better. The product is fairly new, and it may take some time to get all the features up and running."
"Although Cisco Umbrella has an excellent global network footprint, there is still room for improvement and growth in this area. Additionally, there are bandwidth limitations associated with the connectors that need to be addressed. To be a viable solution for larger offices, Cisco Umbrella must continue to expand and improve its capabilities in these areas."
"I would like to see a graphical representation of the entire network."
"The product can be pretty expensive."
"Client delivery and client updates should be improved. Client delivery was not as easy as expected. Another area for improvement is the integration of escalation procedures for security issues."
"It should have a real-time malware classification engine. It should check the malware on the website. It would be good if it had a real-time malware check for the websites because currently, it just compares the DNS queries of the blacklist. It should also have malware control over file execution and the types of files that the users are allowed to download."
