Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."The ability to allow or deny hosts onto the network is valuable. It provides great security to the network environment."
"ISE's most valuable feature is integration between IT and OTs."
"[One of the most valuable features] is just the ease of use. It's pretty simple to set up certs that we can add to our clients to make sure that they connect properly, [as is] whitelisting Mac addresses."
"The valuable feature of the solution lies in its integration capabilities with other applications."
"The WiFi portal in Cisco ISE is very useful for WiFi customers."
"Cisco ISE now competes with any other product in the space because of its centralized and unified highly secure access control with ISE."
"I really enjoy the live log section. Sometimes, you will have someone who is having issues connecting to the network, and then you have to ask them the dreaded question of, "Did you type a password wrong?" They will probably tell you, "No," but the live log can help sort that out. It gives us that extra ability to assist the end user and make sure that we are making them happy."
"We found all the features of the product to be valuable."
"The first valuable feature of the solution is its interface. The second feature of the solution is the level of flexibility it provides."
"A feature of SailPoint IdentityIQ that I like best is that it has good integration with other platforms. My company is using ADP here in Brazil, and SailPoint IdentityIQ works very, very well with it. My company is also using the solution for governance evaluation, segregation, and other access tests. For my company, SailPoint IdentityIQ is a very important solution, especially because it's automated, and there's a huge audit and risk issue here in Brazil."
"The solution is very good at the management of the identity lifecycle."
"One of the most valuable aspects of SailPoint is its open integration interface."
"This solution has made our team more effective. We need less manual approvals when someone new joins our company. There is less paperwork and fewer support tickets raised for access."
"The tool's GUI is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of SailPoint IdentityIQ are the reporting because it is better than other solutions. The workflows can be customized to our requirements and the overall features are good."
"It is a stable tool, which we run in our complex environment."
"I would like to see them simplify the dashboard. It's very configurable, but, at the same time, it's not easy to maneuver through it. They should "Merakify" it."
"Cisco could improve the GUIs on their hardware."
"The UI and UX could be more seamless and easier to use."
"It is a good product, but in order to use all of the functions of the product, you must have a good understanding of the product. You must know how to use and manage it. It is a little bit complicated to configure and manage. It must be simplified to make it easy to manage for end users. In the initial stage, we found ISE complicated for end users. It was not easy to manage it or to write authentication and authorization protocol. They must improve its management and make it easy for end users. The monitoring and reporting capabilities can be improved because end users want to quickly see what is happening in their network. There were some restrictions in working with other vendors. It should also have a better and easy integration with other vendors."
"The admin interface is really slow. It's horrible."
"Third-party integration is important, as well as the continuous adaptation feature which is the AIOps. It would be helpful to include the AIOps."
"The Cisco wireless controller needs to add more than one physical port."
"The solution configuration is complicated for setting the infrastructure. They have improved over the years but there is still a lot of room to improve. When comparing the simplicity to other vendors, such as Fortinet and Aruba they are behind."
"The UI of the solution could be more customizable so we could change the workflows to suit our needs."
"Additional details during account aggregation failures to help quick troubleshooting."
"The solution's technical support team's response time and skills need improvement since it is an area where there are shortcomings."
"The cost of this solution is high. The technical assistance center could be improved. They're very good, but considering the intricacies of the solution, they can further improve."
"The UI is complex."
"The solution, in general, is quite expensive."
"There's a lot of customization required to improve the user experience."
"We have had a lot of service breaks because of the lack of support."
