Cisco Secure Endpoint (formerly Cisco AMP) vs Norton Small Business

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.

Norton is well suited for a company or organization looking to protect its own machines, laptops, and desktops on a daily basis. I would say it is quite well suited to small or medium or even large businesses wanting to protect their computers and systems from viruses, malware, or other threats out there.

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.

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.

Based on 1 answer

Norton Small Business is a business antivirus solution. It does its job, and while it does add a few extra bells and whistles here and there, Norton has done well not to make the solution too cumbersome like some of the competition. The whole experience is simple and painless.

Based on 1 answer

My only interaction with support was during the purchasing phase. We never really had any issues with the solution that required a call to support, but the interaction I did have was quick and painless. If this is anything to go by, I expect the customer support to be excellent.

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.

I actually prefer Norton Small Business over Avast or any other product we have used in the past. Norton Small Business is easier to use, easier for our staff to operate and manage, and comes with a lower price point. Over all, we are much happier with Norton than other products

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.

Data Protection is ensured which ensures positive focus from all team members on their work which certain results in improved productivity at the individual level of 2-4% that consequently improves organisational productivity.
Our cost of external inputs for data security issues is NIL therefore obviously reducing the bottomline by 1-2% which would be the average cost incurred by organisations of our size in general. Of course an event maybe costlier, but I am sticking to averages since we have had no events.
Overall, we feel that the cost of security software is also lower on account of optimised pricing by Symantec. While the expense in this segment is a fraction of total IT costs, and therefore tangible savings are also fractional. However, So, since the value of outcomes (lack of security related negative events) is much higher, intangible benefits are even higher.
