Cisco Secure Endpoint is well suited for keeping track of the many different and points that we have in our organization. All of these devices can easily be monitored with Cisco Secure Endpoint. It can monitor our servers and our desktops and laptops in our environment. It isn’t as appropriate for our student devices. However, those aren’t as critical since they are just Chromebooks.

Cons
  • The update mechanism of the client is not obvious and takes some finesse to learn
  • The clients auto update signatures, but not agents which I have seen lead to mixed version levels as it is harder to keep up with
  • It is generally a challenge to manage the licenses and if you let the license lapse, it is a very bad thing in my opinion.

  • use AI to review previous false negatives that contributed wrongly in the AI suggestion on the follow alerts
  • easily run a script based on values from an hash, ips, path inside the boxes on the behavioral tree
  • apply the remediation to a range of endpoint instead to only the endpoint of the current alert
  • use ajax for example to update the alert page automatically while actions are happening
  • for api have profiles that allow only get actions, or just post on some actions
  • create users in bulk

Usability
AMP is very difficult to use compared to other products we've seen. It's hard to understand why there are so many different logins for the various products that supposedly integrate with AMP. We had weekly phone calls for months to implement the product yet none of the IT department really enjoys using this product or feels comfortable with the accuracy of detections. The number of false positives is high.
