Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."Having access and being able to add people or change authentication yourself is nice. In the past, we've used other group authentication services, and we always had to go to them and get permissions. Having that control is key."
"The authorization and accounts inside of ISE are very useful for us."
"[One of the most valuable features] is just the ease of use. It's pretty simple to set up certs that we can add to our clients to make sure that they connect properly, [as is] whitelisting Mac addresses."
"Typically, the installation is pretty simple."
"When you push out the policy, it is able to populate the entire network at one time."
"The feature that I most like is that it can notify me whenever someone plugs in their device, which is not allowed. I get notifications for new laptop devices. I think the user interface looks good compared to previous versions."
"Profiling is one of the most valuable features. We have a lot of different devices between cameras, access points, and laptops that get plugged in."
"I have found that all of the features are valuable. It is very easy to deploy because we are able to port users directly from Active Directory (AD) and LDAP."
"It's more of a risk reduction. It takes passwords that are not being managed properly and manages them automatically which really reduces risk."
"I would definitely improve the deployment and maybe a little bit of the support. Our first exposure to ISE had a lot of issues."
"The ISE software needs to be improved so that it is easier to administer."
"The solution is not so user-friendly."
"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."
"The solution lacks properly knowledgeable support, especially internationally, and this is why I am exploring other applications."
"The pricing and licensing structure are not ideal for customers."
"Cisco could improve the GUIs on their hardware."
"Cisco ISE is complex. The deployment and design of networks with it is so complex. If it could change it would be better."
"They should improve the application password management. The capability to manage high availability application passwords is its biggest shortcoming."
