Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."We have seen ROI. It has done its job. It has protected us when we needed it to."
"The best feature of the Cisco ISE platform is that it is compatible with Microsoft products."
"[One of the most valuable features] is just the ease of use. It's pretty simple to set up certs that we can add to our clients to make sure that they connect properly, [as is] whitelisting Mac addresses."
"Among the most valuable features is TACACS."
"The most important feature for us is visibility in terms of user connections. It's the ability to see what devices are online for a particular user that helps a lot with our troubleshooting."
"Stable network administration solution that can be installed easily, and comes with fast technical support."
"The ability to integrate our Cisco AnyConnect connections to the active directory has been great."
"The most valuable feature is the ASDM - the user interface makes it very easy to configure the firewall."
"The most valuable features of SAP Identity Management are business roles and automated user provisioning."
"The setup process is straightforward."
"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."
"It provides basic automatic user administration and role provisioning to save time."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the user experience for managing information."
"We face many bugs."
"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."
"The interface is a little bit complex."
"The templates could be better. When you have to do certs, especially with X.500 certs, it isn't very intuitive."
"Cisco ISE integration with Cisco ACI is something that can be done in a less complex way. And the simplification in that area may help us do better."
"I would like for the next release to be easier to implement and to limit its dependencies around ISE, Windows, the network as a whole, etc."
"I'd like to see an easier way to upgrade to larger versions, as well as more best practices that are easier to locate on their support page."
"Cisco ISE has almost all the features we are looking for now, but sometimes the configuration, such as the conditions, is a little difficult to understand and not so easy to navigate."
"It needs to have the SSO for the HANA modules that SAP is releasing."
"The pricing could be better."
"SAP Identity Management can improve risk analysis and authority checks."
"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."
"I find SAP Identity Management complicated to use. Maintaining it is also complex."
"A lack of startup connectors to different systems, and could have better connectors for SAP IDM."
"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."
"Research and marketing need to be improved."
