Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE)

We use it for 802.1x to secure switch ports. We also use them for Meraki Access Point connections. The goal is to stop non employee devices from being plugged into the network. Increase the security to protect wired and wireless connections to the company network and reject random devices from the network.

Pros

  • Wired 802.1x
  • MAB
  • Wireless 802.1x

Cons

  • UI is not user friendly
  • Attributes are hard to find
  • Same menu options are available in different sections
  • Helps increase security
Cisco Identity Services Engine is designed for Cisco and Meraki use cases.
