"Profiling is one of the most valuable features. We have a lot of different devices between cameras, access points, and laptops that get plugged in."
"SGTs are valuable because they make it easy to enforce policies, instead of pushing them across all the other platforms."
"They have recently made a lot of improvements. My clients don't have much to complain about."
"For my use cases, the in-depth troubleshooting into why a client can't connect or why they failed, is very valuable. I can go back to someone and say, 'Hey, it's not my network. It's their certificates or user error,' or something else."
"The access policies, and all of the policies in Cisco ISE, are important to us."
"The way the ISE works is you can get into defining. Let's say, in my case, I've got a Windows laptop and I've got an Apple product and those have unique identifiers, unique back addresses. It would say that this in my profile so I could get to those apps with either device, 24/seven. That's how granular the ISE or these NAC Solutions can get."
"The user experience of the solution is great. It's a very transparent system."
"Typically, the installation is pretty simple."
"The API is a great way to get information from other tools."
"Compatibility and integration with other vendors is what needs to be improved in Cisco ISE (Identity Services Engine)."
"The solution lacks properly knowledgeable support, especially internationally, and this is why I am exploring other applications."
"There are always some things that I would request."
"This product doesn't work in isolation."
"Deploying to a machine, as opposed to a dedicated appliance, can be a bit difficult."
"The solution is not so user-friendly."
"It would be nice if it could be configured easily by default."
"In an upcoming release, the solution needs to be more agentless and more independent. Additionally, there could be improved integration with other next-generation solutions, such as Palo Alto, Fortinet, or Check Point."
"The service macmon offers is already great."
