Cisco Secure Endpoint (formerly Cisco AMP) vs Webroot Endpoint Protection

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.

I have only used Endpoint Protection in small to medium businesses and for residential home users. I have not had any experience with larger corporations. Thus far, my experience has been a positive one. Their tech support, which I have called upon several times, has been quite efficient in solving my issue.

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.

I would like to see an option for automatic cleanup of duplicate Agents. Occasionally, a machine will show up twice and one of the Agents will show as disconnected. I'm not entirely sure if this is from updates or something weird in Windows. We stay on top of cleaning this up on a regular basis, but for instances where the names are similar enough to detect duplicates, it would be nice to automate this and then have a report sent showing what was cleaned up in case there was a mistake.

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.

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.

Some of the other options available to us were less expensive than Webroot Endpoint Protection. Still, either required too much management on our end didn't offer multi-platform protection or didn't have all of the features we were looking for.

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.

Our old antivirus solution caused a lot of management headaches and wasted a lot of time dealing with those issues. We don't have that with Webroot, so we can spend our time in more productive ways.
We have been able to get clients who aren't fully managed yet in our system to use Webroot. The cloud management doesn't force it to be connected to a 3rd party management system, so we can set up admin accounts for clients so they can manage it themselves. This has worked well, and also makes it very easy to keep the Webroot setup if they do become fully managed later on.
