Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."It's keeping our company safe from rogue devices connecting to our network. From a security standpoint, there's peace of mind knowing that every device that connects is a good one."
"Member Access Control and the ability to integrate all Cisco wireless, Cisco networking, switches, routers, and firewalls."
"We found all the features of the product to be valuable."
"SGTs are valuable because they make it easy to enforce policies, instead of pushing them across all the other platforms."
"Having access and being able to add people or change authentication yourself is nice. In the past, we've used other group authentication services, and we always had to go to them and get permissions. Having that control is key."
"I love the policy sets, they are really nice and dynamic."
"The best feature of the Cisco ISE platform is that it is compatible with Microsoft products."
"It's flexible and stable. It's been good as a standard environment to run."
"The teams we work with at Omada provide great insights and support. Overall, it has been a pleasure working with them. That's the part we value the most."
"Two valuable features of Omada Identity are the ability to discover accounts and link them to identities, and the automatic disabling of inactive accounts or identities."
"The most valuable feature in Omada is the governance. We work with other products and other product vendors, but the sweet spot in the market for Omada is where things are heavy on governance."
"Omada's user interface is elegant and easy to work with. I like Omada's ability to automatically generate accounts for new hires and allow them access to all required systems by established policies. Around 80 percent of workers can start working immediately on their first day without requesting further access."
"The support for the validity of the resources is valuable. The tool allows resource assignments within a validity period so that the managers do not have to remember to revoke the access once the work is done."
"For me, the best feature of Omada Identity is its web interface because it's really easy for users to understand."
"The customer success and support teams have been crucial."
"The benefits of Omada Identity include a holistic way of viewing access, the ability to give people access, and automation."
"There are still some bugs in ISE that need to be worked out."
"Also, the menus could have been much simpler. There are many redundant things. That's a problem with all Cisco solutions. There are too many menus and redundant things on all of them."
"I would like to see the product simplified more, especially with the configuration."
"The UI is not as intuitive as some other products, even products inside of Cisco's wheelhouse."
"There are always some things that I would request."
"The web UI should be made similar to the one in DNAC."
"The licensing documentation needs to be better."
"An issue with the product is it tends to have a lot of bugs whenever they release a new release."
"Functionality and usability could be improved."
"The reporting on the warehouse data and the import process both have room for improvement."
"I would like to search on date fields, which is not possible now."
"The user interface could be improved. The interface between Omada and the user is mainly text-based."
"It is not possible to customize reports on Omada Identity."
"The UI design needs improvement. One or two years ago, Omada changed its user interface to simplify, but the simplification has not really kicked in."
"The architecture of the entire system should also be less complex. The way they process the data is complex."
"Omada's performance could be better because we had some latency issues. Still, it's difficult to say how much of that is due to Omada versus the resources used by our other vendors in our on-prem environment. Considering the resources we have invested into making it run well, it's slightly slower than we would expect."
