Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."It's flexible and stable. It's been good as a standard environment to run."
"When you push out the policy, it is able to populate the entire network at one time."
"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."
"The feature that I found most valuable is profiling. We use that to profile certain types of devices, and then depending on the manufacturer, drop them into the appropriate VLAN without us having to go in and manually add the devices."
"It is stable and easy to use."
"There are a lot of integrations available with multiple vendors. This has made the solution easier to work with."
"The most valuable feature is the ASDM - the user interface makes it very easy to configure the firewall."
"The product is useful for device administration."
"What I like the most is the fact that I can just mark anything and it is automatically copied into the clipboard."
"Password sharing and SSO. These features almost become a necessity to make sure that company data is safe and reduce the possibility of data breach."
"It syncs with all devices and supports all platforms."
"I like a couple of things about this solution. Being able to share passwords with other people is valuable. You can see if the information is out on the dark web and whether you have weak passwords and the last time they were changed. You could also have the 2FA or MFA codes embedded in the application so that you don't have to use your phone or any other 2FA device, which is something very important."
"Possibility to login using the fingerprint sensor on Android/iPhone."
"I like Keeper's mobility and its accessibility."
"It has a secure password generator that incorporates random creation tools and good security practices, which allows for an easy, quick, organized update and sharing with a work team."
"The generator of complex passwords keeps me safe from being hacked."
"They should improve their licensing. Licensing is always trouble with Cisco, and Cisco Identity Services Engine is no different. The way the product is licensed could be improved."
"It would be helpful for us to know what needs to be deployed, configured, and what changes we need to make to our devices when we don't receive the specific login which is an indication of a lack of connection or incorrect configuration."
"There should be a single button that can be pressed to dismiss all of the alarms at once."
"I don't see as many customers as I should adopting the onboarding feature. I think Cisco should make that process a lot easier and less intrusive on the end users' devices."
"We face many bugs."
"Sometimes some of Cisco ISE's graphical interfaces could be a little bit smoother. However, with the different versions, the product is getting better and better."
"There are still some bugs in ISE that need to be worked out."
"A main issue is that the upgrade process, over time, is extraordinarily fragile. Repeatedly, over the past several years, when we've tried to upgrade our Cisco ISE implementation, the upgrade has broken it. Ultimately, we have then had to rebuild it because we need it."
"The technical support has no experience."
"If you purchase the premium, then after the subscription expires, you cannot edit your passwords any longer, even if you could before you purchased the paid subscription."
"Needs to provide an API to be integrated with the information systems and offer secure file hosting service with sharing and editing capabilities."
"Ability to store 'files' from IOS & Android devices. You can store pics from these devices currently. Most file formats can be uploaded from PC's/Macs"
"Room for improvement in my eyes would be being able to share my credit cards and other types of information. The only thing they really share is passwords, and you can only do it with one password at a time. When you're trying to share it out or trying to remove it from being shared, you can't do multiple selections."
"Its aesthetic needs improvement."
"The stability of the solution can be improved."
"Keeper does not provide password management for mobile apps."
