"I would rate the stability a nine out of ten."
"It has an easy to learn web GUI and command lines."
"We are able to satisfy many different organizational needs because of its flexibility."
"What I like best about Aruba ClearPass is its 802.1X certificate-based authentication feature."
"We can double verify whether a machine is compliant with our policy on the one hand, and on the other hand if it's one of our machines we let it into the network."
"The interface is very easy to use and the workflow is quite straightforward."
"ClearPass' best features are authentication, support for multiple devices, and monitoring."
"Tenable's most valuable features are the credential scan, vulnerability reports, and vulnerability ratings (VPR)."
"I like Tenable.sc's analytics and reporting. You can also configure your on-prem network monitors to talk to your Tenable.sc control panel."
"Has a great advanced scanning feature."
"The most valuable features of Tenable SC are the reports and the dashboards."
"The most valuable features in Tenable SC are scanning and analysis."
"The scans are the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"The Auto-Remediate feature is good."
"What is useful to me is being able to fulfill very customized scanning policies. In the clinical environment, because of vendor control, we can't perform credential-vulnerability scanning. And network scans, which I've done before, can cause a lot of impact. Being able to create very customized policies to be able to routinely scan and audit our clinical networks, while simultaneously not causing impact, is important to us."
"The initial setup was quite complex, it is not that easy."
"In the future, I would like to see plugins for AI and machine learning."
"Aruba needs to improve and the processes must be clear."
"It should be clearer in the pre-sales stage that clear, documented, executive-supported InfoSec policy is the key to success."
"In the next version, I would like to see some enhancement or extension on the tracking side. For example, when any user enters the network, it should be more visible in the graphical form."
"Aruba ClearPass has fewer deployment scenarios and flexibility than Forescout."
"Configuration should be more easy to understand between the link of two topics."
"I can't think of an area where the solution is lacking a feature or a capability."
"The tool's initial configuration is not so easy."
"The solution's user interface has some issues."
"The reporting side can be improved. The dashboards are nice, but exporting things out for reports for management was a little tough."
"The solution is expensive."
"The web application scanning area can be improved."
"We experienced some difficulties with the solution’s support."
"The solution is expensive."
"The vulnerability scan does not work correctly until the access privileges are set by the system administrator."
