Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."We have multiple metal devices from different places that use management, so we need to know who would be accessing all those devices and what changes are being done to those metal devices. With Cisco ISE we have visibility of all the changes happening on those devices."
"The core point is that Cisco ISE is the same globally compared to FortiAuthenticator. Whether I deploy in China, the US, South Africa, or wherever, I'm can get all the capabilities. It allows me to directly integrate with 365, and from a communications point of view, that is a good capability."
"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."
"Our clients like Cisco ISE because they already use various Cisco solutions. It's easy for them to use this solution because they have an engineer with Cisco certifications."
"It's scalable."
"They have recently made a lot of improvements. My clients don't have much to complain about."
"In terms of features, I think they've done a lot of improvement on the graphical user interface — it looks really good right now."
"The ability to allow or deny hosts onto the network is valuable. It provides great security to the network environment."
"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 believe that Cisco can improve the way its policies are built because it's a little complex."
"Deploying to a machine, as opposed to a dedicated appliance, can be a bit difficult."
"They should improve the documentation. There tends to be a lot of old text, or the new things aren't always up to what's been released on the code, and sometimes the documentation is inconsistent."
"Troubleshooting and multi-ISE can be challenging with the solution."
"A lot of people tell you the hardware requirements for ISE are pretty substantial. If you're running a virtual environment, you're going to be dedicating quite a bit of resources to an ISE VM. That is something that could be worked on."
"This product doesn't work in isolation."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly."
"It would be ideal if Cisco could provide some short training videos or documentation to customers to help them understand how to use the product."
"They should improve the application password management. The capability to manage high availability application passwords is its biggest shortcoming."
