We performed a comparison between Aruba ClearPass and UserLock based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."
"Aruba ClearPass's most valuable features are simple accessing, operating, and management. Additionally, the dashboard and performance work well."
"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."
"ClearPass' best features are authentication, support for multiple devices, and monitoring."
"The interface is very easy to use and the workflow is quite straightforward."
"Authentication capabilities are one of the most valuable features."
"Aruba is a highly scalable product. It just works. We have no issues with scalability."
"Its clustering model saved us staff time and reduced errors by eliminating the need to manage individual RADIUS servers."
"We mainly implemented UserLock for multi-factor authentication, but the user login insights are also nice."
"The most valuable features are two-factor authentication and real-time logon monitoring."
"The AirWave Dashboard heat maps could be better designed."
"I would like the area of managing wired technology to be improved. Wireless is very good but I'm still struggling a bit to do my end to end configurations in the wired technology area."
"I would like to see is “AAS”. Not only Aruba APs with central, but NAC/ClearPass, AirWave, and everything licensed as a Service. This way, like AWS, they can spin up what they need when they need it and vice versa."
"Lacks the ability to handle more than one certificate for both the management process and the Captive Portal."
"Because some users use OS 10, it would be good if the solution could group its functions better."
"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."
"One area for improvement would be the possibility of using social media providers for user authentication."
"The platform's API integration could be better. Additionally, its pricing could be affordable."
"The product and service are already great as it is but if I could add one feature, I guess it would be nice to have another factor of authentication (two additional factors) like your phone and a token for example, for when people forget their phone at home."
"I would like to see UserLock add the ability to automatically create a group policy in Active Directory. That might streamline the setup process."
