Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."We can double verify whether a machine is compliant with our policy on the one hand, and on the other hand if it's one of our machines we let it into the network."
"The most valuable features of Aruba ClearPass are its ease of use and the general network access controls."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"ClearPass prevents hackers from accessing the network. No one can get inside without authentication. It provides a lot of features we are missing. It's incredibly powerful and stable."
"It makes it easy to require robust user authentication for both wired and wireless endpoints, including BYODs."
"Its clustering model saved us staff time and reduced errors by eliminating the need to manage individual RADIUS servers."
"The visibility and security features are most valuable. We get a clear view. It is a very secure product for educational institutions."
"Aruba ClearPass has improved the security control in our network environment."
"We mainly implemented UserLock for multi-factor authentication, but the user login insights are also nice."
"The most valuable features are two-factor authentication and real-time logon monitoring."
"Some functions could be improved."
"Aruba ClearPass could improve the complexity of the initial usage. It takes some time to be good at it. It's not simple to build and connect the rules to the network you want to deploy them on."
"This solution could be improved by making it possible to use it across different territories. Currently, if a user moves from the US to the UK, their usage and access will be restricted."
"In the next version, I would like to see some enhancement or extension on the tracking side. For example, when any user enters the network, it should be more visible in the graphical form."
"We have had some issues with the installation of Aruba ClearPass."
"Because some users use OS 10, it would be good if the solution could group its functions better."
"The AirWave Dashboard heat maps could be better designed."
"Aruba ClearPass could improve when it comes to troubleshooting, it can be difficult. Some advanced problems are difficult."
"The product and service are already great as it is but if I could add one feature, I guess it would be nice to have another factor of authentication (two additional factors) like your phone and a token for example, for when people forget their phone at home."
"I would like to see UserLock add the ability to automatically create a group policy in Active Directory. That might streamline the setup process."
