Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Secure Access

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It's part of the proof of concept. We will use it as the network access control in our branches, campus networks and integrated with Catalyst Center.

Pros and Cons

Pros

I would say securing the local area network from unwanted endpoints that would like to access the corporate network. I would say that's the main feature and reason why we will implement that.

Cons

Tech service, which is a technical assistance cases. I am not very happy with it with the level of support we're getting when we open attack case. The product is a bit buggy. I think when the developers release the version, it's not well tested, but overall we're okay with the product and we're happy to use it.

Return on Investment

I would say very positive. So far the account and the company is very happy with logs and analysis that we have provided since we have implemented the product. They see real facts and real data. What do we have in the network and what shouldn't be there.

Key Insights

Do you think Cisco Secure Access delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Cisco Secure Access's feature set?

Yes

Did Cisco Secure Access live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Cisco Secure Access go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Cisco Secure Access again?

Yes

I think it's a good product for companies that has a lot of branches, not for small companies. I would say medium to large companies that need to have a good visibility. What do they have in the network and somehow interconnected with the security department that will also review the logs from ISE and make conclusions about what do they have in the network.
