Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."Aruba has improved my organization because it supported me on my level of access."
"The support is top notch, expert, and very friendly. "
"Aruba ClearPass's most valuable feature is dynamic segmentation."
"I like the stability and the GUI, which is always improving."
"The customized modules for guests, the self-registration and login, one license for all, no license for guest users, and the self-integration of sandbox integration are the most valuable features."
"If you are looking at the base installation, then it was a very straightforward process, which I would rate an eight or nine out of ten."
"Aruba ClearPass's most valuable features are simple accessing, operating, and management. Additionally, the dashboard and performance work well."
"I would rate the stability a nine out of ten."
"It is a very good and user-friendly product."
"We use Tenable to scan all of our environments and plugins for vulnerabilities. Tenable helps us discover network vulnerabilities to threats and piracy."
"It's a very useful tool."
"The most important features are the dashboard and reporting. The dashboard provides statistics with graphs and bar charts for our management."
"What is useful to me is being able to fulfill very customized scanning policies. In the clinical environment, because of vendor control, we can't perform credential-vulnerability scanning. And network scans, which I've done before, can cause a lot of impact. Being able to create very customized policies to be able to routinely scan and audit our clinical networks, while simultaneously not causing impact, is important to us."
"Has a great advanced scanning feature."
"The scanning part, the agent part – that's the valuable aspect."
"The most valuable feature of the product is the Assurance Report Card, which gives us an overview of the security poster in just a simple glance."
"The solution should be more precise for VMs and allow for management of the entire system."
"ClearPass isn't hard to set up, but it takes a long time."
"I would like to see better integration with the firewall for zeroing out blacklisted users."
"I would like the area of managing wired technology to be improved. Wireless is very good but I'm still struggling a bit to do my end to end configurations in the wired technology area."
"Because some users use OS 10, it would be good if the solution could group its functions better."
"TLS authentication onboarding in Aruba ClearPass needs to be improved. The biggest problem we've seen in our environment is Huawei not being able to get onto Google Play. No Huawei device can be onboarded via Aruba ClearPass easily."
"Instructions on adding layouts are not as clear as they could be."
"It should be clearer in the pre-sales stage that clear, documented, executive-supported InfoSec policy is the key to success."
"The solution is expensive."
"At times we have had the typical bugs."
"I think the vendor training provided for Tenable.sc could be a lower price. It's quite expensive for the training."
"The GUI could be improved to have all concerns and priorities use the same GUI, allowing them to see all tickets, assign vulnerabilities, and assign variation failures to each member of their team."
"The solution needs to improve the vulnerability assessment because we have experienced some challenges with accuracy."
"It's good at creating information, it's good creating dashboards, it's good at creating reports, but if you want to take that reporting metadata and put it into another tool, that is a little bit lacking."
"The solution's user interface has some issues."
"Certain aspects require manual effort, such as exporting and analyzing data for our dashboards. The built-in components of the Tenable solution are somewhat clumsy that require external tools. So, this is an area of improvement."
