Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE)

Cisco ISE creates a unified security ecosystem. We used across departments to enforce consistent access policies.
We are also managing guest WIFI using Cisco ISE. It provides customizable portals. Keeping guest traffic isolated from internal resources.
We are also using it for profiling & posturing of network devices

Pros

  • Profiling
  • Guest Access
  • Centralized policy management
  • Posturing

Cons

  • Non Cisco systems is less seamless.
  • Inconsistent Endpoint Detection
  • Better support for mobile and unmanaged devices
  • The licensing model is layered and often confusing
  • Operational efficiency, and security resilience
  • IT cost savings via automation 30%
  • Downtime reduction(Network segmentation and threat containment reduce downtime by 30, 50%)
Cisco ISE Leads in Certain Areas of integration with Cisco infrastructure (switches, firewalls, routers).Strong support for Zero Trust and regulatory compliance segmentation & dynamic access
