Cisco Secure Endpoint (formerly Cisco AMP) vs Panda Security for Desktops

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.

Panda is easy to use and doesn't take a ton of system resources, and is easy to implement. It is effective when tested or compared to other products. It doesn't burden the user with excessive notifications. Simple as it should be. Clients have been happy with its performance and haven't had reports of performance issues. This is a must as a system that cripples the machine is of significantly less value

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.

Panda Security is not the best at some types of malware scans but that can be an issue with other similar products as well.
The configuration and setup functions could be more detailed and expanded for advanced users.
Updates can sometimes be infrequent.

Usability

Cisco Secure Endpoint (formerly Cisco AMP) 8.5

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.

Panda Security for Desktops 10.0

Based on 2 answers

I gave it a 10 because I compare it to air conditioning. I need it to work every day, 24/7. I need it to be reliable and not something that requires a ton of interaction from staff to make sure it works every day. In addition, I should be able to run other things at my house when the AC is on. Panda fits that description.

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.

Over the years we have tried different software to provide protection but we have not managed to obtain the best results because their features have not been updated or do not fully support against very advanced attacks. One example is Avira, which is limited in that it is practically only useful for Windows, while Panda is usually available for different devices as well as is more prepared for any type of attack that we can cross today.

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.
