Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE)

We have been using Cisco Identity Services Engine in our organization for more than 6 years since it was version 2.1. This product has been our AAA server for all our wireless devices throughout our local and remote branches. We also use this for authenticating BYOD devices (non-corporate owned) and we are able to scale up our deployment to handle more than 50,000 devices each day.

Pros

  • Reliability
  • Stability
  • Easy to upgrade

Cons

  • May need to improve the guest wireless authentication experience
  • Licensing price is pretty reasonable for our authentication and accounting use case
  • Applying policy based vlan assignment is our goal and was very successful with our deployment and money was well spent
Each product does the same basic AAA features however Cisco Identity Services Engine provides more features that are way beyond what a windows NPS server can offer.

The nice thing about Cisco Identity Services Engine is it can be deployed as a multi node server deployment that can easily scale up or down depending on the load of the organization. Upgrading/patching is not an issue to business continuity as the multi server architecture allows the administrator to keep all services running while applying patches/upgrade during business hours.
