Identify and Secure

  • September 27, 2019

What do you like best about the product?
ISE is the glue for everything else. It works easily with all of the various network hardware - where users would be connecting (wired or wireless), as well as Active Directory (or any other external authentication system). It works on its own to create a BYoD wireless network, with the switches to provide more isolation, or even with DNA, ACI, AnyConnect, and other Cisco solutions to gain even more insight into devices and allowing micro-segmentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is VERY complicated to initially setup. Get some training and you STILL want to hire someone to assist. But its complications are largely because of all the granularity and options that you have. Once it is setup, it is fairly easy to navigate around and find the answers you may be looking for. But any new features you may want to enable go back to the initial "complicated" process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've been using it for our BYoD Wireless network for years, as well as the Radius authentication for Production 802.1x WiFi users. This allowed us to migrate from ACS for the latter. For the BYoD, it permits us to have a single SSID for users to connect to -- with a corporate device there is a certificate along with the users' AD login that permits full access, personal devices lack the certificate but with AD credentials gain limited access to the network.

We are also working on enlarging the scope to include Wired NAC/segmentation. And future integration with Cisco DNA and ACI.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Trial it. POC. Whatever. Get help in implementing and designing from the beginning. Factor it into the cost.
In addition, be aware that there are open APIs and databases of devices (like medical devices) ALREADY OUT THERE that Cisco can provide (for free) to speed along much of what you may attempt to do.

Cisco ISE se mantiene a la vanguardia del mercado con sus nuevas propuestas

  • September 24, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
El producto funcionó como se esperaba cuando lo implementamos. Nuestros dispositivos Cisco existentes se integraron con una configuración e impacto mínimos. El Soporte de Cisco estaba dispuesto a ayudar con cualquier problema que nos encontramos. Cisco ISE ofrece un motor de registro muy bueno que facilita la resolución de errores. La configuración de la política también se puede hacer fácilmente en la interfaz de usuario. Cuando los usuarios tienen problemas para conectarse, proporciona pasos claros para la resolución.
What do you dislike about the product?
Las actualizaciones de los productos nos han llevado a encontrar errores con ganancias limitadas de nuevas funciones. La función de creación de perfiles automática de la herramienta podría mejorarse más para un descubrimiento más preciso. El modelo de licencia puede ser costoso si se implementa a gran escala.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cisco ISE nos proporciona control de acceso a la red en nuestras redes inalámbricas y cableadas. Se basa en políticas que nos permiten personalizar cómo se recogen los dispositivos cuando intentamos conectarnos a nuestra red. El producto ofrece múltiples formas de autenticar a los usuarios, ya sea que solo desee autenticación MAB, autenticación basada en nombre de usuario y uso de certificados. Nuestra implementación ha sido muy fácil y podemos aprovechar varias plantillas predefinidas proporcionadas por Cisco.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Esta solución es en general fácil de usar e implementar. Al considerar el producto, asegúrese de tener un recuento preciso de la cantidad de usuarios. Consideraría el gasto de este producto frente a los competidores para su nivel de usuario al hacer la selección del producto.

Cisco ISE

  • June 12, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It’s ability to handle AAA and radius configurations for remote devices.

Also it’s feature set when coming to dot1x and and policy creation allows for a lot of different customization for allow, blocking, or restricting access to your network with either BYOD or enterprise machines.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interactive is almost overwhelming when you first look at it. There’s a lot of different menus and a lot of hidden/unintuitive menus and settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ISE is handling our TACACS and radius requests. It’s also handing our wired access control policies.

Cisco ISE is built to solve business problems

  • May 08, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the flexibility within the system for meeting/solving complex business access challenges. On top of that the logging is excellent
What do you dislike about the product?
I preferred the old policy sets in ISE 2.2 and below compared to the new look/feel in 2.3 and above.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can solve complex access scenarios and micro segmentation on the LAN
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Plan what you would like to accomplish with the product first then begin configuration.

Secure solution Identified

  • April 25, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to tailor rules of what connects to our networks. We can define state of the machine policy meets exact requirements to identify who or what is connecting to our network via Network Access Control policies. We can adapt different policies for different networks and where able to migrate from ACS. ISE Api allows developers to create self service portal for other engineers with little overhead learning another system to keep new device secure.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently our implementation has a few issues with High availability so we have a staged solution that causes some delays in onboarding new devices. This is possibly just our design implementation can be improved but having not designed it I do not have specific details and may not be an issue with the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are identifying who is accessing systems and the network. We are able to control the level of access and how long access can be used.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out in a POC or demo.

Feature Rich Product

  • December 29, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to implement if you have already used Cisco ACS before. Works very well with Cisco products and has great support from the Cisco TAC and user community.
What do you dislike about the product?
Works well mainly in a Cisco environment or with very specific nonCisco vendors
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security compliance
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ensure that the environment fully supports Cisco ISE e.g. IOS versions and hardware versions.

With proper training it’s a good tool

  • December 12, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The easy volume controls! When answering on a wired phone you never know if the person on the other end will be loud or quiet. So, the easy access volume is nice
What do you dislike about the product?
The complexity of forwarding calls... it took me a few times to read through the instructions to figure out how to forward calld
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy and clear communication
