Aruba ClearPass Review

Straightforward to deploy, easy to use, and the support is quick

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use is network access control at the endpoints.

What is most valuable?

The interface is very easy to use and the workflow is quite straightforward.

What needs improvement?

The licensing model could be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been working with ClearPass for about two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This is a very reliable and robust product and we plan to continue using it

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have not yet had to scale or add features, but I think that it's going to be easy. We currently have about 10,000 endpoints.

How are customer service and technical support?

The support is good and they are quite fast. We have not had many issues.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have experience with Cisco ISE and ClearPass is much easier to use. Because it is so complicated, we were having a lot of issues with it.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward and easy to do. It took less than a week to deploy.

What about the implementation team?

We purchased this solution together with the Professional Services, so the vendor set it up for us.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is not bad and everything is included.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, this is a good product and I can recommend it. There is really nothing bad that I can say about it, although I do think that they should work on changing the licensing model.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

Which version of this solution are you currently using?
