Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."It is beneficial from a security perspective because not everyone can connect to our wifi without going through an authentication process."
"I like the stability and the GUI, which is always improving."
"We find that at the end of the projects we manage, all functionalities perform quite well. We've tested it a lot and find it to be overall a very good solution."
"I like the integration options with a multitude of other vendors and Aruba applications."
"It makes it easy to require robust user authentication for both wired and wireless endpoints, including BYODs."
"ClearPass' best features are authentication, support for multiple devices, and monitoring."
"ClearPass's best feature is its comprehensiveness."
"Its clustering model saved us staff time and reduced errors by eliminating the need to manage individual RADIUS servers."
"This product has the best results in terms of the lowest number of false-positives and false-negatives."
"Tenable is the leading product for vulnerability scanning."
"We use Tenable to scan all of our environments and plugins for vulnerabilities. Tenable helps us discover network vulnerabilities to threats and piracy."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the vulnerability assessment."
"Tenable's most valuable features are the credential scan, vulnerability reports, and vulnerability ratings (VPR)."
"The Auto-Remediate feature is good."
"Compared to other products, the most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and ability to provide visibility over scan results while providing many templates to users, making it a helpful tool."
"The most valuable features of Tenable SC are the reports and the dashboards."
"Aruba ClearPass could improve the complexity of the initial usage. It takes some time to be good at it. It's not simple to build and connect the rules to the network you want to deploy them on."
"It should be clearer in the pre-sales stage that clear, documented, executive-supported InfoSec policy is the key to success."
"One area for improvement would be the possibility of using social media providers for user authentication."
"Aruba ClearPass has a complex pricing scheme, so that's an area for improvement. The process for setting up Aruba ClearPass also needs improvement. It could be easier."
"ClearPass' GUI could be more user-friendly."
"We have had some issues with the installation of Aruba ClearPass."
"I can't think of an area where the solution is lacking a feature or a capability."
"The improvement can be in the cloud area. They can improve it for the cloud so that we can deploy it on the cloud."
"The solution's user interface has some issues."
"The biggest issue I have with the solution is when I'm using the scanning it picks up the original DNS of that device. That means, before we image it and actually change the DNS to something within our company structure, it'll just be random numbers and letters and Tenable will stick to that DNS for a long time."
"Tenable SC could improve by making the creation of the initial reports easier that correspond to our network."
"We are facing some challenges related to our channel."
"Additional costs are associated with using the solution, as additional scanners are required for different endpoints connected to the Tenable Security Center. If Tenable Security Center could extract information from these scanners automatically rather than manually, it would enhance user-friendliness for customers."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable, but this could be brought down more aggressively, such as we see with Rapid7, Tenable SC's main competitor."
"Certain aspects require manual effort, such as exporting and analyzing data for our dashboards. The built-in components of the Tenable solution are somewhat clumsy that require external tools. So, this is an area of improvement."
