Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."The most valuable thing about Aruba ClearPass is its ease of use. It has always been a very reliable and very stable policy management platform."
"Aruba ClearPass's most valuable features are simple accessing, operating, and management. Additionally, the dashboard and performance work well."
"We are mainly using Aruba ClearPass for our clients for securing access to their on-premise assets. As per customer expectations, we are trying our best to track the complete user activity in the network. This is the main and the core feature we require."
"The interface is very easy to use and the workflow is quite straightforward."
"The support is top notch, expert, and very friendly. "
"It makes it easy to require robust user authentication for both wired and wireless endpoints, including BYODs."
"It's very easy to access support and the documentation is self-explanatory."
"We can double verify whether a machine is compliant with our policy on the one hand, and on the other hand if it's one of our machines we let it into the network."
"Support is knowledgeable."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"Tenable SC is good for reporting and alerting. The filtering feature is also very valuable. Its integration with multiple vendors is quite good. It can be integrated with SIEM solutions and PAM solutions such as Thycotic, which is very helpful."
"It basically reviews our threat landscape vulnerability."
"The tool provides us insight into the happens of the network and its hosts. It provides me with a list of hosts."
"I like Tenable.sc's analytics and reporting. You can also configure your on-prem network monitors to talk to your Tenable.sc control panel."
"The predictive prioritization features are pretty good. They do a lot of research and we trust the research that they do internally. They have knowledge of what's going on with many companies, where we only get a view into what's going on here. So the ability to get best practices out of them as part of this solution, is valuable to us."
"The solution is one of the most, if not the most, stable product available."
"The GUI of Aruba ClearPass could improve, it is not user-friendly."
"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."
"Lacks the ability to handle more than one certificate for both the management process and the Captive Portal."
"A specific component is part of the solution called ClearPass Onboard, which can sometimes be complex and challenging to set up. If they could simplify the process and make it easier, that would be a benefit."
"Instructions on adding layouts are not as clear as they could be."
"Because some users use OS 10, it would be good if the solution could group its functions better."
"ClearPass' interface could be more user-friendly."
"It would be good if ClearPass made it a SaaS solution."
"The web application scanning area can be improved."
"The product should provide risk-based vulnerability management."
"It's good at creating information, it's good creating dashboards, it's good at creating reports, but if you want to take that reporting metadata and put it into another tool, that is a little bit lacking."
"If I want to have a very low-managed scan policy, it's a lot of work to create something which is very basic. If I use a tool like Nmap, all I have to do is download it, install it, type in the command, and it's good to go. In Security Center, I have to go through a lot of work to create a policy that's very basic."
"The solution needs to improve its support. I would like to see a bird's eye view of my network architecture. I would also like to see the continuous view feature in the tool."
"Tenable.sc's user interface could be improved."
"Its reporting can be improved. It is not easy to generate a scan report the way we want. The data is okay, but we can't easily change the template to make it look the way we want."
"Security can always be improved."
