Cisco Endpoint Security Analytics vs. ContraForce

Cisco Endpoint Security Analytics is best suited for larger environments that need a window into basic logs of what users are experiencing. It provides adequate protection. We have had some issues with false positive detection of apps that are common, especially when downloading program setup files and such. Overall, it is a decent product.

Cisco Endpoint Security Analytics is semi easy to use. However, the reports are sometimes a bit lacking in detail. We do get alerts when someone encounters something malicious. However, it would be nice to see a bit more detail as to where the malicious file came from so that we can better protect our network.

Cisco Endpoint Security Analytics is easier to use than any of these products and seems to offer a better level of security. Symantec has failed to deliver any kind of support or updates since the Broadcom acquistion. The other products seem to be more geared to home or small office use. We chose Cisco Endpoint Security Analytics because we trust the brand and it seems to offer more features than the competition.

Incentivized

• Has prevented malware/virus infiltration
• Product has given insight into apps on the network
• Provides a basic level of oversight
