Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Forescout and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."RADIUS is the best feature because it supplies authentication to our entire campus."
"Cisco ISE's profiling and posturing features ensure that all devices are compliant with regulatory authorities."
"It integrates with the rest of our platform, like our firewall, and helps us a lot. It also does a good job establishing trust for every access request."
"It's easy to change and add policies."
"Stable network administration solution that can be installed easily, and comes with fast technical support."
"I love the policy sets, they are really nice and dynamic."
"Assisting a larger number of users in gaining access and guiding them through the process of getting on Cisco ISE has been seamless."
"The policy sets give us more granular groups for end-user access."
"The on-premises deployment meets restrictions and the end-user is able to control all the configuration in their own IT environment."
"Some of the reporting could be improved."
"I'd like to see the logging be a bit more robust in terms of what it has baked in. If I want to do any in-depth searching, I have to export all the logs to an external platform like Elastic or LogRhythm and then parse through them myself. It would be nice if I could find what I want, when I want it, on the platform itself."
"The initial setup was a little bit complex. It's not that simple because it requires a lot of prerequisites for the solution to get a hold on."
"There is room for improvement in its ability to allow end users to self-enroll their devices. Instead, you should be able to assign that permission by AD group, which is currently not available."
"There are still some bugs in ISE that need to be worked out."
"It should be virtualized because many people have begun migrating to the cloud. They should offer a hybrid version."
"It could be less monolithic. It's one huge application, and it does everything under the sun, so it's hard to deal with and upgrade and manage."
"Since we have started, we struggled a lot to implement this solution into our network, and we opened a case a couple of times. Up until this point, nothing else needs to be improved with this product."
"There is no software as a service or PaaS (Platform as a Service) offering from Ilex. The only option is on-premises integration."
