"The access policies, and all of the policies in Cisco ISE, are important to us."
"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."
"In terms of features, I think they've done a lot of improvement on the graphical user interface — it looks really good right now."
"Cisco ISE integrates with everything else."
"The solution cuts down on the repercussions of getting malware or ransomware."
"Cisco ISE now competes with any other product in the space because of its centralized and unified highly secure access control with ISE."
"Varonis Platform is transparent and captures everything in the environment without impacting the performance. The tool helps us unify data feeds into a single reporting system."
"The solution has significantly improved data security and compliance posture by allowing us to track and monitor activities. We can see who accesses data and when files are created and understand what's happening in our environment."
"An issue with the product is it tends to have a lot of bugs whenever they release a new release."
"Some of the reporting could be improved."
"Its user interface could be better. It's not bad. They've just redesigned the whole user interface. It's not terribly difficult. The drop-down menus are easy to use. However, when you're looking for some things in the user interface, it takes a minute to find where you were prior."
"Cisco could improve the GUIs on their hardware."
"It would be nice if it could be configured easily by default."
"I'm working from China currently and the only real issue is that, within the country, there's some concern around Cisco and its ability to offer the solution for the long term. As the United States has banned the Huawei version in their country, we feel there may be retaliation in ours and Cisco will get banned as a countermeasure from the government. The future of Cisco in China is in question. Our local partners are worried about the situation."
"If I was going to improve anything, it would be the ease of migration. It's really difficult at the moment if you're looking to upgrade ISE 2.1 and you want to go to ISE 3.1 or 3.2, that whole upgrade path and, particularly, the licensing is quite a minefield to sort out."
"The user interface could be improved to make it more user-friendly."
"The product is very complicated."
