Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) Reviews

My primary use case for this solution is as a server for my networking devices.

We have multiple metal devices from different places that use management, so we need to know who would be accessing all those devices and what changes are being done to those metal devices. With Cisco ISE we have visibility of all the changes happening on those devices.

The authorization feature is the most valuable feature. 

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.

It's not very stable. Product-wise, in terms of performance and in terms of stability, I don't experience any challenges.

It's highly scalable but it's challenging to scale-up non-Cisco products. We currently have around 50 users and 11 employees monitoring the device. We don't have any plans to increase usage. 

Their technical support is pretty good. They have a good database and knowledge space regarding this solution. You'll get the support that you need. 

We are also currently using ForeScout for another feature but we are facing multiple challenges with ForeScout implementation.

The initial setup was straightforward. The deployment and negotiating time depends on your network infrastructure and what kind of environment you have.

You should have a fair understanding of the kubernetes that have been used in their infrastructure.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. 

We are an ISP and we are working on providing ISP solutions for companies. For that reason, we are trying to deploy ISE or other technologies.

The benefit comes from the fact that all of our clients have Cisco products and we are looking for a tool that can integrate all the devices for a secure facility, monitoring, etc.

• MAC - Member Access Control
• Integrating all Cisco wireless, networking, switches, routers, firewalls for our customers.

In a future release, I would like to see network access control. That is something that customers seem to be looking for.

The solution is primarily used for authentification purposes. 

The solution is stable.

We have found the product to be scalable.

The device administration is great. 

It offers very good integrations and can easily be integrated with mobile devices.

The product works well with StealthWatch.

It's quite an innovative product.

Typically, the installation is pretty simple.

The solution isn't as dynamic as it could be. There are some limitations, specifically around switches. 

Deploying to a machine, as opposed to a dedicated appliance, can be a bit difficult. 

The network solutions need to be improved by Cisco.

I've been using the solution for three to four years. It's been a while at this point. 

The solution has been quite stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

The scalability is good. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so. It's not a problem.

We have this solution deployed to 6,000 or more users. 

An installation is pretty simple if it is on a dedicated hardware appliance. However, if someone chooses to deploy to a machine, then you can face certain challenges during the installation. On a dedicated appliance, you can deploy in two to three hours.

You only really need one person to deploy the product. You don't need to have a big team.

We are integrators and can deploy the solution for clients.

We are a systems integration company.

I'm using different versions of the solution, and not necessarily the latest one.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. It's worked well for us so far. We find Cisco to be innovative and to offer good products. 

I would recommend the solution to other users and organizations. 

We are a solution provider and we provide Cisco products, including ISE, to our customers.

This product is used to facilitate the connection of a local network to wireless access. This allows us to restrict users and their access.

This product allows them to see the traffic that is going through the network.

It is stable and easy to use.

The user interface can be improved.

I have been using Cisco ISE for approximately three years.

Cisco ISE is stable.

This is a scalable solution. There are more than 500 users in my client's organization.

The technical support from Cisco is very good

ISE is very easy to configure, although it takes time because we have to take input from the customer. It will take about two days to implement and deploy.

We have a consultant to assist with deployment. A team of four engineers is required for deployment and maintenance.

The price is okay.

As of now, this product is working fine.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.
