We performed a comparison between Cisco ISE (Identity Services Engine) and Omada Identity based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."The return on investment we have seen is related to time in terms of troubleshooting. The logs, such as the security logs, inform us of the issues that people have had. ISE has been very instrumental in helping isolate those issues. We've seen a lot of cost savings because we don't have to pay an IT person to waste time doing something that should be instantaneous."
"The best features are the scalability and the license structure."
"It works as a good RADIUS server. It has lots of features. It works with all the proprietary Cisco AB pairs and features."
"I like the automation of the collection of information."
"In terms of scalability, you need to factor in your licenses. With a virtual platform, the scalability is more than sufficient. We have over one thousand users."
"The policy sets give us more granular groups for end-user access."
"I've had no issues with scalability. I started using it on two campuses, and now I'm using it across the country and scaling it across subsidiaries in other countries."
"The interconnection with the ecosystem and the ability to force rules all over the network are the most important features."
"As an administrator, we benefit from a lot of functionality that is available out of the box, but it is also configurable to meet our specific needs."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is that it is Microsoft-based and it supports all Microsoft technology."
"Omada's most valuable aspect is its usability."
"It scales in terms of numbers and types of identities. It can govern the on-premise applications as well as the cloud applications. So, it can manage hybrid environments with all types of identities and various load amounts."
"I appreciate all the support we receive from Omada."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic provisioning and reconciliation of things like the Active Directory groups and memberships."
"The administrative features and SoD are valuable."
"You can make resources. You can import them from Azure or Active Directory and put them in an application. For example, if there is an application that uses a lot of Active Directory groups, you can make the groups available for people. If they need to access that application, you can tell them the resource groups you have for that application. People can do everything by themselves. They do not need anybody else. They can just go to the Omada portal, and they can do it all by themselves. That is terrific."
"The admin interface is really slow. It's horrible."
"ISE is a little clunky. The front-end feels like it is from the 1980s."
"The user interface could be improved to make it more user-friendly."
"The intuitiveness of the user interface could be improved."
"We would definitely like to see a little bit of an improvement in the web GUI navigation. Some of the things are a little bit hidden in the drop-down menu. If we could get a way to get to those quicker, it'd be much more useful."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and the ability to apply rules to MAC addresses, for example, if I wanted to allow a certain MAC address access at a particular time I cannot make this adjustment."
"Troubleshooting and multi-ISE can be challenging with the solution."
"Difficult to figure out the protocols and nodes in order to implement correctly."
"The user interface could be improved. The interface between Omada and the user is mainly text-based."
"The solution should be made more agile for customers to own or configure."
"The Omada support response time has room for improvement."
"The current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version."
"The account management integration isn't bad, but it isn't plug-and-play like Microsoft Azure. You need some deep development knowledge to set up the connectors."
"It is not possible to customize reports on Omada Identity."
"The reporting and importing have room for improvement."
"The comprehensiveness of Omada's out-of-the-box connectors for the applications we use could be better. We are getting a new HR system called Cornerstone for which they do not have an out-of-the-box connector, so we have to take the REST connector and play around with it."
