Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE)

Used for TACACS and wireless .1x authentication for users and guests. Addresses authentication and authorization of wireless clients and administrators for TACACS devices like switches, routers. Our use cases are currently just NAC for wireless users but looking forward to using it for wired users and remote users as well.

Pros

  • Authentication and authorization
  • Detailed logs and accounting
  • Wide support for many different endpoints

Cons

  • More robust reporting
  • Customization of dashboards
  • Easier monitoring through single pane of glass dashboards
  • Made authentication more consistent and quicker.
  • Very granular when it comes to authorization and auth policies.

SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (npm), Cisco Catalyst Center
Authorization and authentication work very well, the profiling and posturing as well. Interoperability with other Cisco products like firewalls and Catalyst Center are also really good. Currently reporting and visibility on the device are not as good. Scheduled reporting still needs to be more reliable.
