Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."The most valuable features are the ability to retrieve information about Active Directory user names, viewing the log files to see which MAC address tried to connect with the created SSIDs, portal designing for your company, hotspot tools, and creating network rules for WiFi access."
"TACACS and .1X security are the most valuable features. TACACS acts for user control, so no one can authenticate to our network devices, and .1X is to validate that unauthorized devices are plugged into our network."
"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."
"Cisco ISE integrates with everything else."
"The biggest value of ISE is that it can get so granular with gaming systems, versus IoT and BYOD."
"The best feature of the Cisco ISE platform is that it is compatible with Microsoft products."
"Authentication is the most valuable feature because it puts our company at another level of security."
"The most important feature for us is visibility in terms of user connections. It's the ability to see what devices are online for a particular user that helps a lot with our troubleshooting."
"SAP CDC is very easy to use and the best part about this tool is its documentation."
"I believe that Cisco can improve the way its policies are built because it's a little complex."
"The tracking mechanism in Cisco ISE is relatively costly, especially its vendor-specific protocol."
"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 admin interface is really slow. It's horrible."
"Cisco ISE's performance could be better, faster, and more robust."
"The pricing and licensing structure are not ideal for customers."
"Profiling is a really good feature. However, it sometimes is a challenge for customers when there are issues with the remediation part. I would add a built-in remediation solution. That would be a very nice feature."
"I'd like to see an easier way to upgrade to larger versions, as well as more best practices that are easier to locate on their support page."
"I have struggled to give different access to different users in the same application."
