Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Forescout and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."The solution is highly stable."
"ClearPass is open to any operating system or mobile app."
"Support is decent."
"Document authentications allows us to decide which users can connect to an office VLAN and this has been the most valuable feature."
"If you are looking at the base installation, then it was a very straightforward process, which I would rate an eight or nine out of ten."
"It makes it easy to require robust user authentication for both wired and wireless endpoints, including BYODs."
"The most valuable features of Aruba ClearPass are the authentication mechanisms and the integration with Active Directory(AD)."
"I like the stability and the GUI, which is always improving."
"The most valuable features are two-factor authentication and real-time logon monitoring."
"We mainly implemented UserLock for multi-factor authentication, but the user login insights are also nice."
"The interface could be made easier and more intuitive."
"The licensing model could be improved."
"I would like to see is “AAS”. Not only Aruba APs with central, but NAC/ClearPass, AirWave, and everything licensed as a Service. This way, like AWS, they can spin up what they need when they need it and vice versa."
"The user interface should be improved. The logs and how the logging mechanism works can also use an upgrade."
"The technical support has some room for improvement. It takes them a long time to respond sometimes. I rate Aruba support six out of 10."
"Aruba ClearPass could improve the complexity of the initial usage. It takes some time to be good at it. It's not simple to build and connect the rules to the network you want to deploy them on."
"ClearPass' GUI could be more user-friendly."
"Aruba needs to improve and the processes must be clear."
"The product and service are already great as it is but if I could add one feature, I guess it would be nice to have another factor of authentication (two additional factors) like your phone and a token for example, for when people forget their phone at home."
"I would like to see UserLock add the ability to automatically create a group policy in Active Directory. That might streamline the setup process."
