Cisco Secure Endpoint (formerly Cisco AMP) vs Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection (AEP)

Likelihood to Recommend

Specific tool for specific need. If you have a gap in your security infrastructure (protection from malware) you might think to use Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) for Endpoints to make sure your company's devices are safe. But also you can go beyond and enforce your SOC with Cisco AnyConnect where Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) for Endpoints is used as one of modules.

Overall great product. I am confident that the product is doing the job we expect. There are times of trouble, but more so when they update the clients or make major changes. It seems they do not do enough testing before pushing releases.

Cons

Sometimes during whitelisting, other files from security tools get isolated even if it's not user intended.
Re-syncing policies also take some time, albeit in a straightforward process.
As with all security software, false-positives are still detected.
Hoping that once the library is expanded further, the false positives will be fewer.

Stability, they could grow when it comes to updates to the client. There always seems to be complications.
Locking of systems. In the event of trouble, systems lock down so far that the administrator has to drive to the location where device is located, uninstall and reinstall.

Usability

Based on 4 answers

I give it a very good score due to its simplicity in deployment, actually being able to do everything remotely is very good. Also noteworthy is the low consumption of resources compared to other competitive products.

Cisco support is really very remarkable and the tool has a good integration with other products, a very good work dashboard and very useful reporting.

Alternatives Considered

AMP is far superior to Symantec in my opinion. It is much more robust and customizable. It is much easier to manage systems and to spot trouble areas. Deploying and upgrading clients is much simpler. It is a much more lightweight client on the desktop. Overall a much better product in my opinion.

Allows me to use a centralized management console. The protections have never let me down. Support is always there. The other brands have similar features, but Comodo is a great tool and as they are maturing becoming better.

Return on Investment

HAMP has allowed the team to focus on value added activities instead of constant cleanup of workstations and servers.
AMP is probably not the most cost effective solution, but is very good at protecting your systems.
