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."Integration is a key selling factor for Cisco security products. We have a Cisco Enterprise Agreement with access to Cisco Email Security, Cisco Firepower, Cisco Stealthwatch, Cisco Talos, Cisco Threat Grid, Cisco Umbrella, and also third-party solutions. This is key to our security and maximizing operations. Because we do have the Email Security appliance and it is integrated with Threat Response, we have everything tied together. Additionally, we are using the Cisco SecureX platform, as we were a beta test for that new solution. With SecureX, we are able to pull all those applications into one pane for visibility and maintenance. This greatly maximizes our security operations."
"It doesn't impact the devices. It is an agent-based solution, and we see no performance knock on cell phones. That was a big thing for us, especially in the mobile world. We don't see battery degradation like you do with other solutions which really drain the battery, as they're constantly doing things. That can shorten the useful life of a device."
"Its most valuable features are its scalability and advanced threat protection for customers."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the IPS and the integration with ISE."
"One of the best features of AMP is its cloud feature. It doesn't matter where the device is in regards to whether it's inside or outside of your network environment, especially right now when everybody's remote and taken their laptops home. You don't have to be VPNed into the environment for AMP to work. AMP will work anywhere in the world, as long as it has an Internet connection. You get protection and reporting with it. No matter where the device is, AMP has still got coverage on it and is protecting it. You still have the ability to manage and remediate things. The cloud feature is the magic bullet. This is what makes the solution a valuable tool as far as I'm concerned."
"The entirety of our network infrastructure is Cisco and the most valuable feature is the integration."
"It is a very stable program."
"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."
"Cisco Umbrella is absolutely stable."
"The feature that we find most valuable is to be able to filter out those web requests that you don't want."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its reliability."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Web Filtering and the APT."
"The insight into what our users are doing via Cisco Umbrella is valuable. Knowing that we're protecting our users as they leave our network is also valuable now because we've got more hybrid working."
"Using this solution has meant that we've needed to make fewer firewall changes."
"Helps block personal email accounts."
"It will protect, give you more robustness, and faster responses, compared to any firewalls or any of the proxy web servers."
"I would like them to add whatever makes filtering more advanced in scanning and blocking for malware in emails."
"...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."
"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."
"On the firewall level, they were lagging a little bit behind, but they are running up again. I have full trust in the new 3000 series of firewalls where we would also be able to look more into the traffic that we're monitoring and get more security layers in our services. That would definitely be a big step."
"They could improve the main dashboard to more clearly show me the things that I want to see. When I open the dashboard right now, I see a million things and they are not always the things that I need."
"The reporting and analytics areas of the solution need to be improved."
"The technical support is very slow."
"The initial setup is a bit complex because you need to execute existing antiviruses or security software that you have on your device."
"Data reporting could be improved."
"If we're trying to deploy it to a Mac through Meraki, it's impossible. The method of deployment for a Mac, and the features available in Meraki, are not compatible at all."
"If the virtual appliances could also gather traffic bandwidth reports, that would be great."
"Cisco Umbrella should add some more documentation on proxies."
"The product can be pretty expensive."
"It's a very new product, so it's quite immature at the moment. It can be more user friendly."
"There are cheaper solutions in the market"
"It has happened in the past that Cisco Umbrella has denied us access to secure websites."
