We performed a comparison between Cisco ISE (Identity Services Engine) and macmon Network Access Control based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Access Control (NAC) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The endpoint profiling feature is among the most valuable because it keeps me from having to manually maintain a MAC address bypass list to track endpoints. I can have ISE profile them for me and then put them in the right bucket."
"The authorization and accounts inside of ISE are very useful for us."
"Cisco ISE now competes with any other product in the space because of its centralized and unified highly secure access control with ISE."
"There are a lot of integrations available with multiple vendors. This has made the solution easier to work with."
"The solution enables us to authenticate with AD."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with StealthWatch and DNA as one fabric."
"The policy sets give us more granular groups for end-user access."
"When you push out the policy, it is able to populate the entire network at one time."
"The ease of connecting with the client is valuable for me."
"We use it with our Cisco switches so we can see which switch it is actually connected to."
"The API is a great way to get information from other tools."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly."
"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."
"The one main thing that it can improve on is the GUI. As the newest addition to the team, I struggle a little bit to get around it just because it has so many features."
"Deploying to a machine, as opposed to a dedicated appliance, can be a bit difficult."
"The web UI should be made similar to the one in DNAC."
"On the network services devices, when you click on filter, the filter comes up. However, when I type in a search and I want to click on something it defaults back to the main page. I keep having an issue with that, and I'm not doing anything wrong."
"The solution lacks properly knowledgeable support, especially internationally, and this is why I am exploring other applications."
"It does a good job of establishing trust for every access request. We have had a little bit of a challenge with profiling, but we are probably about 80% there."
"The solution must allow users to filter files based on dates."
"The single sign-on process can be improved and the interface should be made more user-friendly."
"The service macmon offers is already great."
