Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Secure Endpoint

We used Cisco Secure Endpoint (CSE) before I started in my position. It does a fair job of detecting and preventing malicious files of being executed. We have been happy, but have decided to move away from CSE as our endpoint protection in favor of a more current solution. The biggest driver of this is our MDR partner cannot interface with CSE as fully as with other EDRs.
  • Malware detection, we have received a handful of alerts where malware has been detected on a system. This allowed us to isolate the workstation and remediate the threat
  • Notifications...similar to above. We were made aware of the threat and were able to act
  • Integration with MDR outside of Cisco. Our provide integrates with CSE, but cannot quarantine workstations or block bad hashes when they are detected.
  • Good centralized management
As I said, it's fine. As my dad once told my mom about dinner, "I said it was good, not great." It meets a minimum requirement, but my responsibility is much higher than meeting the minimum standard.
I've never contacted support for CSE
  • ISE
  • FTD
  • Stealthwatch
  • Umbrella
I don't know that we have these products integrated, but we have them in our suite
I was not part of the selection process for any of them except email security, which we did not purchase

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Cisco Secure Endpoint go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Cisco Secure Endpoint again?

No

As I stated before, Cisco Secure Endpoint (CSE) is fine. However, there are other players in the field that are better at defending and mitigating threats. CSE has not kept up as much as other Cisco products. They do a fine job, but fine is not good enough when it comes to the protection of my network.

Cisco Security

My entire role is to secure the organization. Everything I do must align to the strategic goals and objectives. Our mission is to provide excellent healthcare and that cannot be completed if we cannot trust what is on the network. Securing the network supports every person in the organization to complete their piece of the mission.
I cannot speak to this as I was not part of the initial selection process. We did move into an enterprise agreement and decided against continuing with Endpoint Protection and also against adding a few technologies. Cisco is really good at certain things, specifically networking, but not as good at others.
I don't know, I was not here for that decision. We decided to move away from it because of XXX reasons:
1. We are double paying for endpoint protection, that does not make sense
2. Secure Endpoint is falling lower in reviews of capabilities
3. Other products are superior to CSE
As defenders, we much embrace the use of AI as a force multiplier. This is what the bad guys are doing to achieve their goals, we need to do the same thing. The use of AI to analyze, predict, and deter attacks will be more important as the attacking side uses it to create new exploits or attack methods.
We use a few different vendors that do, but we do not use those capabilities directly.
