Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE)

We are using ISE for the Endpoint authentication and authorization. It solves the Task of authenticating our wired and wireless clients that are trying to access the network and giving them different access rights. Also, we are using ISE as a part of the DNA Center ecosystem and also as a Tacacs server for different network components.
  • EP Authorization.
  • EP Authentication.
  • Tacacs server.
  • Give information to the DNA Center.
  • DNA Center Integration stability.
  • Cisco license server communication.
  • Handling of CA and Certificates.
  • ISE has improved network security.
  • Make it easier to manage TAcacs profiles.
  • Improves network segmentation.
We are using a lot of other Cisco solutions, so the integration between them became much better and easier and also gave us a relatively easy way of implementing network automation. We have planned to implement Software define network with the Cisco DNA Center, so Cisco Identity Service Engine was a pre-requirement for this implementation. And finally, Microsoft Access needs to be decommissioned because of the end of life.

Cisco DNA Center, Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI), Cisco Nexus Dashboard
For the Cisco infrastructure, it is a must-have solution for handling TACACS authentication with all network devices. Also, it is one of the best solutions that I have seen for the network admission in control, identifying, and authentication of the end device that is trying to access the network. And it is a part of the DNA center automation.
