"The WiFi portal in Cisco ISE is very useful for WiFi customers."
"I love the policy sets, they are really nice and dynamic."
"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 implementation is very simple."
"The user experience of the solution is great. It's a very transparent system."
"The RADIUS Server holds the most value."
"In terms of features, I think they've done a lot of improvement on the graphical user interface — it looks really good right now."
"The access policies, and all of the policies in Cisco ISE, are important to us."
"The wifi control is fantastic and makes it very easy to administer."
"The installation is very straightforward."
"It is intuitive in the sense that I don't have to struggle with the configuration."
"The pricing is very reasonable and you can negotiate on the price."
"Sophos' technical support is great, very fast and responsive, and they always know how to fix the problem."
"I would like for the next release to be easier to implement and to limit its dependencies around ISE, Windows, the network as a whole, etc."
"An issue with the product is it tends to have a lot of bugs whenever they release a new release."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly."
"One of the issues that we used to have was with profiling because we're working with a service provider that uses a lot of bring your own devices."
"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."
"There are always some things that I would request."
"It does a good job of establishing trust for every access request. We have had a little bit of a challenge with profiling, but we are probably about 80% there."
"The software is a little bit complicated to understand in the beginning, meaning the implementation. It needs proper documentation so that we can understand the options more easily."
"I would like to see mobile administration capabilities in the next release so that we can administer the device from a mobile device."
"I would say that anything that makes it easier to use and obtain statistics and metrics on any issue is always welcome. Anything that provides more information or insights into what is going on on the network would be beneficial."
"In order to provide better management, it would be ideal with they offered better plugins for their firewall."
"The interface on the cloud could be a bit better - just to give more performance on it."
"An area that could be improved is the information about licensing, which is fairly confusing at present."
