We performed a comparison between Atos DirX Directory and Cisco ISE (Identity Services Engine) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, F5, Apache and others in Application Infrastructure."The role and attribute-based access control has been greatly improved."
"DirX Directory is the best feature of the product: a very fast, stable LDAP directory."
"The solution offers high performance."
"The most valuable feature is its knowledge."
"Authentication is the most valuable feature because it puts our company at another level of security."
"It is scalable because we use a network load balancer at the front of the PSN. It can be extended as we want to multiply. It's scalable to our environment. We have around 8,000 users and we are planning to expand it."
"The first benefit is that we can implement zero trust architecture because of Cisco ISE. I can assure my CISO in my company that my network is such that nobody can just bring in their laptop, desktop, or any sort of mobile device and can directly get connected to my network. That is a benefit that I can only allow people who I trust on the network."
"SGTs are valuable because they make it easy to enforce policies, instead of pushing them across all the other platforms."
"The most valuable features are the NAC and the bundles that are available with Cisco ISE, such as Cisco ACS being integrated."
"TACACS and .1X security are the most valuable features. TACACS acts for user control, so no one can authenticate to our network devices, and .1X is to validate that unauthorized devices are plugged into our network."
"It does what it's supposed to. We use a certificate-based authentication method for corporate-managed devices. That means when a user walks in with their managed laptop and plugs it into the network, it chats with Cisco ISE in the background, allows it on the network, and away they go."
"Stable network administration solution that can be installed easily, and comes with fast technical support."
"The user interface could be more convenient for people that don't know the tool too intensively."
"The Self-Service Portal is old school and it lacks easy accessibility for users."
"The price could be better. It would be better if they developed a better endpoint solution in the next release."
"An overall modernization of the product is required in order to keep up with newer products."
"Needs more available consultants and implementation partners."
"The tracking mechanism in Cisco ISE is relatively costly, especially its vendor-specific protocol."
"I would like to see them simplify the dashboard. It's very configurable, but, at the same time, it's not easy to maneuver through it. They should "Merakify" it."
"We do tend to run into a lot of issues with ISE when it comes to bugs."
"It should be virtualized because many people have begun migrating to the cloud. They should offer a hybrid version."
"The interface is not very user-friendly and it is not simple to use."
"The templates could be better. When you have to do certs, especially with X.500 certs, it isn't very intuitive."
"In the next release, I would want to see this kind of solution in the cloud as opposed to on prem because when enhancements are made to the software, if it's in the cloud, it's overnight. I mean you're not going to have to respin the servers that the license sits on, it's all microservices kinds of things in the cloud. That would be my recommendation. If I'm a customer, that's what I'm looking at - for cloud based software subscriptions."
"In an upcoming release, it would be nice to have NAC already standard in the solution."
