"Aruba ClearPass's most valuable feature is dynamic segmentation."
"I can know which end users are using which features."
"It has effectively enhanced network security and integrated with other security tools to streamline operations."
"The company also uses Cisco ISE in other places. I have been told that ExtremeControl is easier to use than ISE. The other reason we prefer ExtremeControl is stability. That's why they chose it for this big hospital in Oslo."
"The solution is easy to use."
"There is information on migrating most of the cloud system's features."
"Lacks the ability to handle more than one certificate for both the management process and the Captive Portal."

"Configuration should be more easy to understand between the link of two topics."

"What needs improvement in Aruba ClearPass is just the endpoint context server, in particular, the indication with the context server because sometimes the daily process isn't as smooth-sailing. Sometimes, the information isn't up-to-date. I'm not sure if that's a vendor limitation, but currently, it's the only tricky part of the current configuration. What I'd like to see in the next release of Aruba ClearPass is a dashboard or a monitoring feature that would allow users to see the integration process with an external server because there's no visibility into that right now."
"The AirWave Dashboard heat maps could be better designed."
"I'd like to have access to more information on the traffic passing through."
"The installation is easy, it can take between five minutes to four hours depending on the complexity of the environment. The speed of the installation could improve for more complex environments."
"One improvement could be better clarification, namely that the system only works optimally with all components purchased together."
"There isn't enough development for the on-premises controller."
