I can say that cisco amp endpoint is a kind of a advanced or highly skilled antivirus available in the market. It detects the potential malware and immediately remediate the same which is one of the best part of Cisco AMP for EndPoints.

We unfortunetly didnt like the detection time frame. During our testing with Cisco AMP we noticed the detection times for virus's/malware/ransomeware was much slower than competitors. This was a large downfall for us.
