Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."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 most valuable feature of Aruba ClearPass is the ease of deployment and integration with other equipment in the network."
"Aruba has improved my organization because it supported me on my level of access."
"The most valuable features of Aruba ClearPass are its ease of use and the general network access controls."
"The most valuable feature of Aruba ClearPass is its ease of use and the GUI is user-friendly."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Aruba ClearPass's most valuable features are simple accessing, operating, and management. Additionally, the dashboard and performance work well."
"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."
"I think that this is a good solution for evaluating vulnerability in the network."
"Very customizable with a lot of templates."
"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 solution is very intuitive and the dashboards are simple to use."
"The solution has a lean and easy-to-use interface that is not confusing to first-time users."
"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."
"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's a very useful tool."
"Aruba ClearPass could improve the user interface, it is a bit chunky."
"One area for improvement would be the possibility of using social media providers for user authentication."
"Configuration should be more easy to understand between the link of two topics."
"ClearPass' interface could be more user-friendly."
"Because some users use OS 10, it would be good if the solution could group its functions better."
"Some functions could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in terms of scalability."
"An issue with Aruba ClearPass is the lack of information and poor community support. You can't find the material easily on the internet for any issues. For example, if you're looking for any configuration or exploring any issue, it's not easy to find information, and this is the problem with Aruba ClearPass. Access to helpful information and poor community support could be improved. Another area for improvement in Aruba ClearPass is that some of its advanced features aren't easy to find. For example, my team needed to apply Google single sign-on, but it wasn't easy to find. Aruba ClearPass is a big solution with a lot of capabilities, and it's a very advanced solution, so you need to either have some experience with it or undergo some training. Aruba ClearPass is a very good solution from the network perspective, but the issue is the poor support you get from the community. When you try using the solution, some areas aren't easy. When you search on YouTube, you'll find very few materials about Aruba ClearPass. It isn't like Cisco where you can find information from hundreds of websites, on YouTube, etc. This is bad for Aruba, so this area should be improved. Aruba has a training center, but the usual training offered is only for Aruba Wireless and Aruba Switches. If you have another solution, it's not easy to integrate it with Aruba ClearPass, so this is an area for improvement. You need to do some research to successfully integrate your solution with Aruba ClearPass. We integrated Aruba ClearPass with Ubiquiti WiFi, and it's working fine with no issues. My next project is to start integrating Aruba ClearPass with Cisco Switches. The solution is good, but on the website, there's no book and no video, and you can't find the material on Aruba ClearPass easily. This is one of the issues with Aruba."
"Though the solution's technical support is responsive, they do take a lot of time, making it one of the solution's shortcomings that needs improvement."
"We experienced some difficulties with the solution’s support."
"Tenable SC can improve by adding more integrations with HCI-type tools and more accurate vulnerability detection."
"The tool's initial configuration is not so easy."
"The solution should include compliance-based scanning."
"The reporting side can be improved. The dashboards are nice, but exporting things out for reports for management was a little tough."
"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."
"A good plugin editor would be a good additional option for the Security Center."
