Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Forescout and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."When you push out the policy, it is able to populate the entire network at one time."
"It works as a good RADIUS server. It has lots of features. It works with all the proprietary Cisco AB pairs and features."
"The way the ISE works is you can get into defining. Let's say, in my case, I've got a Windows laptop and I've got an Apple product and those have unique identifiers, unique back addresses. It would say that this in my profile so I could get to those apps with either device, 24/seven. That's how granular the ISE or these NAC Solutions can get."
"The solution enables us to do everything from one interface."
"The product is useful for device administration."
"ISE's most valuable feature is integration between IT and OTs."
"For us and our clients, the most valuable features of Identity Services Engine are really around the rich contact sharing that ISE gives you."
"Using this solution gives us the ability to allow proper access to the network."
"IdentityIQ's best features are the hassle-free user experience and security."
"I find the built-in connectors, lifecycle management, certification, and recertification features to be the most valuable."
"The tool is quite stable and user-friendly."
"Provisioning in multiple environments."
"The most selling modules for SailPoint are the compliance manager and the life cycle manager."
"One of the most valuable aspects of SailPoint is its open integration interface."
"The first valuable feature of the solution is its interface. The second feature of the solution is the level of flexibility it provides."
"This solution has made our team more effective. We need less manual approvals when someone new joins our company. There is less paperwork and fewer support tickets raised for access."
"The installation is not straightforward, it took us approximately one month."
"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."
"In an upcoming release, it would be nice to have NAC already standard in the solution."
"It should be virtualized because many people have begun migrating to the cloud. They should offer a hybrid version."
"The solution lacks properly knowledgeable support, especially internationally, and this is why I am exploring other applications."
"I would rate this solution a 7.5 out of ten. To make it a ten they should have more people on tech support. They need to invest more in the product. It's a good product. They should just work on tech support. More support for the customer. It's not that easy to get somebody to understand this product. I have had some issues with tech before for the solution. One of them brought the solution down due to some of his activity. They need to hugely invest in their tech support."
"In the next release, I would want to see this kind of solution in the cloud as opposed to on prem because when enhancements are made to the software, if it's in the cloud, it's overnight. I mean you're not going to have to respin the servers that the license sits on, it's all microservices kinds of things in the cloud. That would be my recommendation. If I'm a customer, that's what I'm looking at - for cloud based software subscriptions."
"The policies could be adjusted to make them more easily implementable."
"The user interface is not very user-friendly."
"If you compare Saviynt and Okta Workforce Identity versus SailPoint IdentityIQ, SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its UI."
"Finding integration experts for SailPoint in the North American market can be challenging, and transitioning to a no-code or low-code setup could reduce dependence on specialized skills."
"The UI is complex."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a primitive AI engine."
"The price of IdentityIQ could be lower. There are additional costs when you buy the licenses, and they force the customers to pay for them."
"It tends to be more expensive, but at the end of the day, it works."
"I would like to see more Cloud management from this product."
