Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE)

IBM is a Cisco partner and therefore sells solutions based on Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE).

It is also used internally for the authentication of users on the network from laptops to cell phones, obtaining maximum security at the authentication and authorization level of devices.

This solution is very important to prevent people from the network from being able to log in.
  • The solution cuts down on the repercussions of getting malware or ransomware.
  • The ability to integrate our Cisco AnyConnect connections to the active directory has been great.
  • It would be nice if it could be configured easily by default.
  • Could be integrated with social networks for guest authentication.
  • Price/cost/licensing
  • Feature D\documentation--how things should work--could be improved.
  • Device/network authentication
  • Device/network authorization
  • Device/network accounting
  • Adds another layer of security on the LAN and wireless networks
  • Once it is deployed and configured, it seems like there isn't much upkeep, so we don't have to hire someone to manage it; we do it by committee.
Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) stacks up well against other systems because it does what it says and is stable. For us, Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) is great for managing access to our network devices and systems.
