Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."So far, we have had no issues with the stability."
"The implementation is very simple."
"The feature that I most like is that it can notify me whenever someone plugs in their device, which is not allowed. I get notifications for new laptop devices. I think the user interface looks good compared to previous versions."
"The profiling model included is the most valuable feature."
"Not having to trust devices and being able to set those levels of trust and more finely control our network is a benefit."
"The way the ISE works is you can get into defining. Let's say, in my case, I've got a Windows laptop and I've got an Apple product and those have unique identifiers, unique back addresses. It would say that this in my profile so I could get to those apps with either device, 24/seven. That's how granular the ISE or these NAC Solutions can get."
"Easy to use and provides good support"
"Cisco ISE now competes with any other product in the space because of its centralized and unified highly secure access control with ISE."
"Some of the self-service capabilities are quite powerful."
"Saviynt has a lot of potential with many features available for users."
"The dedicated Freshdesk platform is a user community and a step in the right direction for offering learning resources."
"One of the tool's advantages is its user-friendly interface, making it easier to manipulate from a GUI perspective. The graphical user interface for users and administrators is straightforward. While it may require more configuration initially, once set up, it becomes more accessible and easier to use."
"Saviynt has better integration with enterprise systems like SAP, Microsoft, Adobe, and AWS."
"The product is flexible to use."
"Considering the initial cost and the basic features, this is a good solution that provides integration with both on-premise and cloud applications."
"It's a highly functional system and a very well rounded solution. The onboarding of applications is solid. Their user access reviews are very good. Their role-based model and their identity life cycle stuff are solid. It's a very well rounded, strong product."
"The installation is not straightforward, it took us approximately one month."
"The tracking mechanism in Cisco ISE is relatively costly, especially its vendor-specific protocol."
"The UI and UX could be more seamless and easier to use."
"The interface is a little bit complex."
"The Guest Network verification needs to add a QR code option."
"I would like the product to include support for OSVS version three."
"I don't see as many customers as I should adopting the onboarding feature. I think Cisco should make that process a lot easier and less intrusive on the end users' devices."
"Cisco ISE does not recognize devices and that is an issue we faced during its integration with our existing devices."
"UI and support could be improved. The frequent updates and version changes can be disruptive for large organizations. Not every month, a large organization can go with the changes. Saviynt needs to consider this carefully."
"According to feedback I've received, some users prefer SailPoint over Saviynt in real complex environments. SailPoint has its provisioning platform. Complex integrations may pose challenges in scenarios like a large bank with thousands of users, making SailPoint a preferred choice for some."
"The biggest drawback is that for every change you want to make, you have to go back to them and ask for it."
"We sometimes experience performance issues when the solution fails to process the data between two different applications."
"The customer support and implementation services need to be improved."
"The technical support team's response time could be improved."
"In terms of improvement, it's really just a matter of them getting more mature. It's a relatively new solution and they probably need to streamline a few of the processes as they mature. But there are not too many problems."
"The custom application integration is a little complex, and this tool doesn't provide so many plugins or additional applications."
