Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Forescout and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."Using this solution gives us the ability to allow proper access to the network."
"There are a lot of integrations available with multiple vendors. This has made the solution easier to work with."
"ISE's most valuable feature is integration between IT and OTs."
"It has allowed us to pull in multiple authentication databases, then centralize them into a captive portal system."
"For us and our clients, the most valuable features of Identity Services Engine are really around the rich contact sharing that ISE gives you."
"The most valuable features are the ability to retrieve information about Active Directory user names, viewing the log files to see which MAC address tried to connect with the created SSIDs, portal designing for your company, hotspot tools, and creating network rules for WiFi access."
"The RADIUS Server holds the most value."
"The ability to integrate our Cisco AnyConnect connections to the active directory has been great."
"The most valuable features of SAP Identity Management are business roles and automated user provisioning."
"Rather than implement a basic SSO, this solution assisted us with setting up two-factor authentication."
"What I found most valuable in SAP Identity Management is process automation. The solution also gives transparency about what is happening and why which I find beneficial. Another feature I found valuable in SAP Identity Management is integration. It has very good integration."
"What I like about SAP Identity Management is that it's stable for experienced users and suitable for access management, not just for SAP accounts, but for Active Directory, including file sharing and process sharing."
"What's most valuable in SAP Identity Management is that it's easily an out-of-the-box solution for connectivity with SAP applications. We do not have to do any customizations, and this makes the solution very compatible with most SAP applications. SAP Identity Management is also very user-friendly."
"The tool's most valuable features are its access control and approval of access requests. The self-service password reset feature is efficient. Role management capabilities streamline user access by assigning and revoking roles."
"The setup process is straightforward."
"It provides basic automatic user administration and role provisioning to save time."
"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."
"Support and integration for the active devices needs to be worked on. Their features mainly work well with Mac devices. If we use an HP the Mac functionalities may no longer be able to deliver."
"Cisco ISE has almost all the features we are looking for now, but sometimes the configuration, such as the conditions, is a little difficult to understand and not so easy to navigate."
"Cisco ISE's performance could be better, faster, and more robust."
"In a future release, I would like to see network access control. That is something that customers seem to be looking for."
"The upgrades could be better. Every time we try to do an upgrade, we have problems. It's a pain."
"There are issues with respect to the posture assessment function. It's been observed that customers are not receiving total access to the network because the assessment agent is glitchy and malfunctions from time-to-time. I would like to see refining of the compliance assessment and adding more detailed compliance of endpoints on the user end."
"In an upcoming release, it would be nice to have NAC already standard in the solution."
"SAP Identity Management can improve risk analysis and authority checks."
"I have encountered issues with the host authentication feature."
"The pricing could be better."
"One of the areas for improvement in the solution is its user interface which needs to be up-to-date and fancier, in particular, have better visualization in terms of the tabs and buttons. The user interface of SAP Identity Management should be improved based on the latest trends."
"I find SAP Identity Management complicated to use. Maintaining it is also complex."
"A lack of startup connectors to different systems, and could have better connectors for SAP IDM."
"Research and marketing need to be improved."
"What needs improvement in SAP Identity Management is its compatibility with third-party applications. We'd like to get connectors or plugin settings to make it easier to manage other applications, whether SAP or non SAP applications. As SAP Identity Management is not compatible with non SAP applications, some of the clients are looking for other IDM applications such as SalePoint and Saviynt, so this is an issue we've observed in the solution."
