Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."The most valuable feature of Cisco ISE is its seamless integration with the switches and the entire suite, enabling wireless access and smooth client information retrieval."
"It does a good job of establishing trust for each access request, no matter the source. It's also very effective at helping with the distributed network and at securing access."
"The posture assessment is a valuable feature because of the ability to do assessments on the clients before they connect to the network."
"After the product was installed, no one could access the secure connection network. In order for any laptop or any endpoint device to attach to my network, it needs to be authorized or be certified to be connected."
"The solution cuts down on the repercussions of getting malware or ransomware."
"Cisco ISE scales exceptionally well."
"It's scalable."
"TACACS and .1X security are the most valuable features. TACACS acts for user control, so no one can authenticate to our network devices, and .1X is to validate that unauthorized devices are plugged into our network."
"It is a flexible tool because it works on JSON."
"It's easy to manage and easy to use; a simple tool for end-users."
"This product works well out of the box and if you don’t want to do a lot of configuration then this is the best tool."
"Considering the initial cost and the basic features, this is a good solution that provides integration with both on-premise and cloud applications."
"We have found the implementation process to be very easy."
"Saviynt has better integration with enterprise systems like SAP, Microsoft, Adobe, and AWS."
"One of the tool's advantages is its user-friendly interface, making it easier to manipulate from a GUI perspective. The graphical user interface for users and administrators is straightforward. While it may require more configuration initially, once set up, it becomes more accessible and easier to use."
"The workflow in Saviynt is easier compared to other tools. It's pretty straightforward."
"The solution lacks properly knowledgeable support, especially internationally, and this is why I am exploring other applications."
"The web interface needs improvement. The new web interface that they have is not as easy to manage and we find it to be very slow."
"The templates could be better. When you have to do certs, especially with X.500 certs, it isn't very intuitive."
"It would be ideal if Cisco could provide some short training videos or documentation to customers to help them understand how to use the product."
"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."
"We face many bugs."
"The price here in Brazil is very expensive."
"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."
"It should support more customizations. In SailPoint, we can do many customizations, but we are not able to do that in Saviynt. For workflows and other things, we can only use what is already in place. Saviynt has a lot of scope for improvement on the customization part."
"UI and support could be improved. The frequent updates and version changes can be disruptive for large organizations. Not every month, a large organization can go with the changes. Saviynt needs to consider this carefully."
"The configuration process at the beginning can be difficult, depending on the complexity of the company."
"Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs."
"The technical support team's response time could be improved."
"It is time-consuming to troubleshoot issues."
"The customer support and implementation services need to be improved."
"The solution does not work very well as the number of users increases."
