Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."The most valuable features of Aruba ClearPass are its ease of use and the general network access controls."
"The continuous server and posturing are valuable."
"Gives us network access control, visibility, scalability, security, and control in what is becoming an uncontrollable, inundated BYOD and IoT world."
"ClearPass prevents hackers from accessing the network. No one can get inside without authentication. It provides a lot of features we are missing. It's incredibly powerful and stable."
"It eliminated the management of 10 different individual discrete RADIUS servers."
"What I like most about Aruba ClearPass is its access tracker that serves as its monitoring feature. The access tracker is really helpful when you want to troubleshoot authentication failures."
"Support is decent."
"ClearPass is open to any operating system or mobile app."
"We use Tenable to scan all of our environments and plugins for vulnerabilities. Tenable helps us discover network vulnerabilities to threats and piracy."
"We really love the Security Center dashboard. It basically performs vulnerability scanning and then outputs a vulnerability data."
"This solution has a much lower rate of false positives compared to competing products."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the vulnerability assessment."
"The most valuable features of Tenable SC are scanning, reporting, dashboards, and automation."
"The solution is one of the most, if not the most, stable product available."
"Tenable also helps us to focus resources on the vulnerabilities that are most likely to be exploited. And since it is continuously updated, it allows us to reevaluate quickly if there are new vulnerabilities found..."
"Has a great advanced scanning feature."
"The AirWave Dashboard heat maps could be better designed."
"The interface could be made easier and more intuitive."
"Lacks the ability to handle more than one certificate for both the management process and the Captive Portal."
"I would like to see better integration with the firewall for zeroing out blacklisted users."
"One area for improvement would be the possibility of using social media providers for user authentication."
"It would be good if ClearPass made it a SaaS solution."
"The initial setup phase of the solution was really very difficult, owing to which the setup phase can be considered as an area that can be improved."
"TLS authentication onboarding in Aruba ClearPass needs to be improved. The biggest problem we've seen in our environment is Huawei not being able to get onto Google Play. No Huawei device can be onboarded via Aruba ClearPass easily."
"In terms of configuration, there is some level of flexibility that we are not able to achieve."
"The pricing is reasonable, but this could be brought down more aggressively, such as we see with Rapid7, Tenable SC's main competitor."
"The GUI could be improved to have all concerns and priorities use the same GUI, allowing them to see all tickets, assign vulnerabilities, and assign variation failures to each member of their team."
"Tenable SC can improve by making it easier to create complicated reports and have more effectiveness in the remediation area for comparison between the scans."
"There's a lot of information being streamed out of the reports. What would be nice, and maybe we just haven't found it, would be more of an executive-type view. We still expect it to collect all this information, but we would like a feature that would allow us to show it to an executive or a director or someone like that and give them some type of high-level overview but not get into the nitty-gritty."
"The solution needs to improve the vulnerability assessment because we have experienced some challenges with accuracy."
"Certain aspects require manual effort, such as exporting and analyzing data for our dashboards. The built-in components of the Tenable solution are somewhat clumsy that require external tools. So, this is an area of improvement."
"The solution should provide better web application features and support."
