"The most valuable feature is the ASDM - the user interface makes it very easy to configure the firewall."
"It's scalable."
"Cisco ISE is a comprehensive solution that allows you to control access to network resources granularly based on policies."
"I found the CMDB Direct Connect in Cisco ISE 3.2 the most promising feature for my use case."
"Easy to use and provides good support"
"The solution is very reliable."
"TACACS and .1X security are the most valuable features. TACACS acts for user control, so no one can authenticate to our network devices, and .1X is to validate that unauthorized devices are plugged into our network."
"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."
"Ivanti NAC's most valuable feature is reasonable pricing."

"There are still some bugs in ISE that need to be worked out."
"I'd like to see the logging be a bit more robust in terms of what it has baked in. If I want to do any in-depth searching, I have to export all the logs to an external platform like Elastic or LogRhythm and then parse through them myself. It would be nice if I could find what I want, when I want it, on the platform itself."
"I would like to see integration with other vendors, and the RADIUS integration needs to be improved a little bit."
"The UI is not as intuitive as some other products, even products inside of Cisco's wheelhouse."
"The price here in Brazil is very expensive."
"Cisco ISE has almost all the features we are looking for now, but sometimes the configuration, such as the conditions, is a little difficult to understand and not so easy to navigate."
"It would be ideal if Cisco could provide some short training videos or documentation to customers to help them understand how to use the product."
"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."
