Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."The endpoint profiling feature is among the most valuable because it keeps me from having to manually maintain a MAC address bypass list to track endpoints. I can have ISE profile them for me and then put them in the right bucket."
"The profiling model included is the most valuable feature."
"Easy to use and provides good support"
"It works as a good RADIUS server. It has lots of features. It works with all the proprietary Cisco AB pairs and features."
"There are a lot of integrations available with multiple vendors. This has made the solution easier to work with."
"Cisco ISE now competes with any other product in the space because of its centralized and unified highly secure access control with ISE."
"Member Access Control and the ability to integrate all Cisco wireless, Cisco networking, switches, routers, and firewalls."
"The solution is great for establishing trust for every access request no matter where it comes from."
"What I like about SAP Identity Management is that it's stable for experienced users and suitable for access management, not just for SAP accounts, but for Active Directory, including file sharing and process sharing."
"The most valuable feature is the user experience for managing information."
"What's most valuable in SAP Identity Management is that it's easily an out-of-the-box solution for connectivity with SAP applications. We do not have to do any customizations, and this makes the solution very compatible with most SAP applications. SAP Identity Management is also very user-friendly."
"What I found most valuable in SAP Identity Management is process automation. The solution also gives transparency about what is happening and why which I find beneficial. Another feature I found valuable in SAP Identity Management is integration. It has very good integration."
"It provides basic automatic user administration and role provisioning to save time."
"The most valuable features of SAP Identity Management are business roles and automated user provisioning."
"The tool's most valuable features are its access control and approval of access requests. The self-service password reset feature is efficient. Role management capabilities streamline user access by assigning and revoking roles."
"Rather than implement a basic SSO, this solution assisted us with setting up two-factor authentication."
"I don't like the fact that we can see the logs only for 24 hours. Maybe that happens because of the way we set it up."
"The installation is not straightforward, it took us approximately one month."
"I would rate this solution a 7.5 out of ten. To make it a ten they should have more people on tech support. They need to invest more in the product. It's a good product. They should just work on tech support. More support for the customer. It's not that easy to get somebody to understand this product. I have had some issues with tech before for the solution. One of them brought the solution down due to some of his activity. They need to hugely invest in their tech support."
"There are always some things that I would request."
"They should improve the upgrades. It's not easy to upgrade the solution."
"They should improve the documentation. There tends to be a lot of old text, or the new things aren't always up to what's been released on the code, and sometimes the documentation is inconsistent."
"Cisco ISE is very complex and not very easy to deploy."
"The solution configuration is complicated for setting the infrastructure. They have improved over the years but there is still a lot of room to improve. When comparing the simplicity to other vendors, such as Fortinet and Aruba they are behind."
"One of the areas for improvement in the solution is its user interface which needs to be up-to-date and fancier, in particular, have better visualization in terms of the tabs and buttons. The user interface of SAP Identity Management should be improved based on the latest trends."
"I find SAP Identity Management complicated to use. Maintaining it is also complex."
"It needs to have the SSO for the HANA modules that SAP is releasing."
"I have encountered issues with the host authentication feature."
"A lack of startup connectors to different systems, and could have better connectors for SAP IDM."
"The pricing could be better."
"What needs improvement in SAP Identity Management is its compatibility with third-party applications. We'd like to get connectors or plugin settings to make it easier to manage other applications, whether SAP or non SAP applications. As SAP Identity Management is not compatible with non SAP applications, some of the clients are looking for other IDM applications such as SalePoint and Saviynt, so this is an issue we've observed in the solution."
"SAP Identity Management can improve risk analysis and authority checks."
