We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Ivanti NAC's most valuable feature is reasonable pricing."
"The profiler option allows me to see every detail in a systematic manner from a switch. I can choose the switch and I can see the port NAC address and time."
"Integration with other vendors is possible."
"Ruckus Cloudpath is effective for network security since it points out errors, especially when working with APIs."
"The ease of use is great, and the automation wizards can do a lot."
"The most valuable features of Ruckus Cloudpath include its long-range capabilities, smooth and uninterrupted service, and reliability."
"The wireless devices are used to control access, transmit messages, and integrate with the main system."
"I find the solution to be very rich in features."
"Ruckus technical support is very good and helpful whenever we need them."
"The solution has good features for authentication, policies, and allowing users to self-provision devices for network access via their logins."

Cons

"At some point, the server got cached and we faced several issues that impacted our customers. We would like to have this resolved."
"The documentation needs to be improved. There are a lot of details that are missed which makes it confusing."
"The product's performance needs improvement."
"The hardest part we've had to deal with is trying to find some physical product recently as everything is going like hotcakes."
"There is room for improvement in deployment."
"The tool needs to support multi-vendor environments. Currently, my experience with it has been primarily within Ruckus environments. However, I haven't explored it for multi-vendor scenarios. It would be great to see newer builds that are multi-vendor capable of full integration."
"I believe the solution is missing some great features which are present in other solutions like Aruba, UiPath, and Cisco ISE."
"The scalability could be better."
"The solution could improve by adding more detailed information that customers have available on the dashboards."
"Ruckus Cloudpath needs more API features and enhanced automation capabilities."
"The setup process is a bit complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is cost-effective."
"I would rate the tool's pricing as a seven on a scale of one to ten. Compared to others, it's not overly expensive, but it does come with a cost. Since it's a licensed-based product, it can become expensive, especially if there is a need for additional licenses."
"The licensing of the solution is user-based and the price is good."
"The pricing is a little bit high."
"The cost was somewhere around $700 for the access points, however, there was a discount."
