"The interface is pretty easy to use."
"The best feature of the Cisco ISE platform is that it is compatible with Microsoft products."
"The biggest value of ISE is that it can get so granular with gaming systems, versus IoT and BYOD."
"It has all of the features available, in fact, more than what you need."
"It is stable and easy to use."
"Since migrating towards doing wired ports over ISE with 802.1X and MAB authentication, our organization's security risk has been better. We have been able to establish better layouts, so devices can move and we don't have to worry about where they need to go."
"The product is useful for device administration."
"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to use Active Directory groups as virtual containers instead of domains because it means that we can control our access groups better."
"I would like for the next release to be easier to implement and to limit its dependencies around ISE, Windows, the network as a whole, etc."
"There are still some bugs in ISE that need to be worked out."
"In order to make it a ten, it should be more user-friendly. You need somebody who is knowledgeable about it to use it. It's not easy to use. We have to rely heavily on technical support."
"The upgrades could be better. Every time we try to do an upgrade, we have problems. It's a pain."
"I'm frustrated by the resource consumption and how many resources it needs to run. It takes a lot of RAM. It takes a lot of space and a lot of IO power. It's frustrating to do upgrades because it takes a long time."
"There are always some things that I would request."
"Troubleshooting and multi-ISE can be challenging with the solution."
"The initial setup process is complex since there are so many big components."
"The user interface needs improvement."
