Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Forescout 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."
"I like the integration options with a multitude of other vendors and Aruba applications."
"It has an easy to learn web GUI and command lines."
"The web dashboard and the policy manager are very intuitive and very easy for the engineers to use."
"The most valuable features of Aruba ClearPass are its ease of use and the general network access controls."
"Aruba has improved my organization because it supported me on my level of access."
"Authentication capabilities are one of the most valuable features."
"ClearPass prevents hackers from accessing the network. No one can get inside without authentication. It provides a lot of features we are missing. It's incredibly powerful and stable."
"The solution is one of the most, if not the most, stable product available."
"The most valuable features of Tenable SC are the reports and the dashboards."
"I found the dashboard features very useful. It made it easy to track remediation progress. I could publish dashboards to remediation teams and track the progress on the dashboards."
"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 product is our second solution, and we are happy that it meets our requirements."
"One of the most valuable features is their distributed scan model for allotting engines to work together as a pool and handle multiple scans at once, across multiple environments. Automatic scanning distribution is a distinguishing feature of their toolset."
"What is useful to me is being able to fulfill very customized scanning policies. In the clinical environment, because of vendor control, we can't perform credential-vulnerability scanning. And network scans, which I've done before, can cause a lot of impact. Being able to create very customized policies to be able to routinely scan and audit our clinical networks, while simultaneously not causing impact, is important to us."
"Tenable also helps us to focus resources on the vulnerabilities that are most likely to be exploited. And since it is continuously updated, it allows us to reevaluate quickly if there are new vulnerabilities found..."
"The setup of ClearPass can be a bit convoluted at times."
"The improvement can be in the cloud area. They can improve it for the cloud so that we can deploy it on the cloud."
"Aruba ClearPass could improve the user interface, it is a bit chunky."
"Licensing cost is extremely high."
"I remember our technical team stating that the installation front of the solution was a bit difficult when compared to other solutions."
"The product's graphical user interface (GUI) could use an update and better integration between the guest management and policy management interfaces."
"I would like to see better integration with the firewall for zeroing out blacklisted users."
"Because some users use OS 10, it would be good if the solution could group its functions better."
"The solution is expensive."
"Tenable.sc's user interface could be improved."
"The biggest issue I have with the solution is when I'm using the scanning it picks up the original DNS of that device. That means, before we image it and actually change the DNS to something within our company structure, it'll just be random numbers and letters and Tenable will stick to that DNS for a long time."
"Tenable's reporting engine needs improvement. It needs to be more efficient and add more features."
"The vulnerability scan does not work correctly until the access privileges are set by the system administrator."
"The web application is not very functional."
"The pricing is reasonable, but this could be brought down more aggressively, such as we see with Rapid7, Tenable SC's main competitor."
"The web application scanning area can be improved."
