Aruba ClearPass Reviews

There are several valuable features, and the two most valuable to use are--

• ClearPass Policy Manager 
• ClearPass Guest

ClearPass Guest allows us to build a structured external captive portal with customized landing page for each customer.

ClearPass Policy Manager has to be easier to configure. Now, it is very powerful but very complex when you want to set some “profile enforcement” only for some type of guests or a disconnection policy with Radius COA.

We've had no issues with deploying this solution.

It's a very stable product and we haven't had any issues with instability.

It's scaled for our needs.

Plan very carefully your final configuration or you can lose yourself in the configurations phase.

The most valuable feature is the guest on-boarding (BYOD provisioning, centralized access policies, posture assessment, etc.)

It has improved WiFi security and guest on-boarding to our networks.

It could be more vendor independent.

I've used it for one year.

I have had issues in regards to the stability.

The technical support is satisfactory. However, there is a room for improvement.

I did not use any other similar product.

The initial setup was quite complex because of the lack of detailed documentation.

I implemented it in-house. My advice is to first set up the pilot for a small environment and then go all out.

The policy manager is the most valuable feature for us because it allows us to manage every client request in the way we want.

For an international big Italian fashion customer, we have deployed the WiFi network worldwide, including the hotspot network for serving the customer’s demand of a free connection in its stores.

I would like for Aruba to make it easier to configure. They could integrate the different engines (Policy Manager, Guest, Onboard) into one single product.

We've had no problems with deployment.

It's been stable for us.

It's scaled for our needs.

Attend first a ClearPass course as it’s very important in order to understand the product deeply.

Aruba Clearpass has a great set of networking securing features and, with its four modules policy manager, guests, onboard, and insight, it will give you the best NAC solution along with AAA, RADIUS, TACACS+ and BYOD features, which will help you to have a robust security on your network.

Actually with many projects, I implemented it to make all authentication centralized and all vLAN assignments automated along with health checks to make network security much easier.

We've been using it for over three years.

No issues encountered.

It's excellent.

It's excellent.

Compared with all NAC vendors, it is the best.

It is complex in a good way that gives you full flexibility to do a lot of scenarios.

It has the best ROI as it will secure all critical data.

ClearPass offers a complete NAC solution including standard AAA functions with advanced policy enforcements for multi-vendor wired and wireless networks.

It has automated the bring-your-own-device process through the Onboard feature and posture health check validation through the OnGuard module, plus it has a robust and customized guest management experience.

I’ve designed and implemented ClearPass for several enterprises that were looking for a compete NAC and guest management solution. ClearPass was the best fit to address different client requirements and tailor the security access policy based on their needs.

Reporting module has room for improvement. It also need integration with SIEM solutions and Next Generation Firewalls.

We've used it for three years.

There are a few issues here and there but they're not worth mentioning.

It's very good.

It depends on the scenario, but if the use cases and prerequisites were defined correctly before the implementation then it will be easier to implement.

I started with an in-house implementation and consulted the vendor team when it’s required.

ClearPass has competitors, but it has kept its leadership position within the Magic Quadrant for the last three years.

I would advise you to at least include ClearPass in any PoC.
