For us and our clients, the most valuable features of Identity Services Engine are really around the rich contact sharing that ISE gives you.
Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) offers centralized access control with seamless integration across Cisco devices, featuring multifactor authentication and scalability for thousands of users. Although it provides strong user visibility and straightforward integration with third-party systems, ISE has a steep learning curve, complex setup, and challenges with upgrades. Limited compatibility with other vendors and instability in features like posture assessment may affect network access; future enhancements are needed for improved network access control.
