Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."Cisco ISE scales exceptionally well."
"Improves switch account management."
"The interconnection with the ecosystem and the ability to force rules all over the network are the most important features."
"They have recently made a lot of improvements. My clients don't have much to complain about."
"The posture assessment is a valuable feature because of the ability to do assessments on the clients before they connect to the network."
"For my use cases, the in-depth troubleshooting into why a client can't connect or why they failed, is very valuable. I can go back to someone and say, 'Hey, it's not my network. It's their certificates or user error,' or something else."
"I really enjoy the live log section. Sometimes, you will have someone who is having issues connecting to the network, and then you have to ask them the dreaded question of, "Did you type a password wrong?" They will probably tell you, "No," but the live log can help sort that out. It gives us that extra ability to assist the end user and make sure that we are making them happy."
"The most valuable features are authentication, we have more granular control on the access policies for the administrators. The solution is easy to use, has a center point administration, and has a good GUI."
"Varonis Platform is transparent and captures everything in the environment without impacting the performance. The tool helps us unify data feeds into a single reporting system."
"The solution has significantly improved data security and compliance posture by allowing us to track and monitor activities. We can see who accesses data and when files are created and understand what's happening in our environment."
"The interface is a little bit complex."
"Some of the reporting could be improved."
"The compliance and posture don't always work. They should make it more stable. With each upgrade, we lose some functionality. We have to wait for another upgrade."
"The Cisco wireless controller needs to add more than one physical port."
"The solution can lag somewhat as we have a large database."
"The web UI should be made similar to the one in DNAC."
"Third-party integration is important, as well as the continuous adaptation feature which is the AIOps. It would be helpful to include the AIOps."
"The licensing documentation needs to be better."
"The product is very complicated."
