Aruba ClearPass Reviews

We are a solution provider and this is one of the products that we implement for our clients.

The most valuable feature is flexibility as it supports solutions from multiple vendors.

The interface could be made easier and more intuitive.

We have been using Aruba ClearPass for about four years.

This is a stable product.

The technical support is very good. When you have an issue they respond very, very quickly.

We have qualified and certified engineers who implement and deploy this solution.

The price is not an issue for us.

Overall, Aruba ClearPass is a very good product, we feel very confident using it, and it is a product that I would recommend. That said, it is not perfect.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

The most valuable feature is the guest on-boarding (BYOD provisioning, centralized access policies, posture assessment, etc.)

It has improved WiFi security and guest on-boarding to our networks.

It could be more vendor independent.

I've used it for one year.

I have had issues in regards to the stability.

The technical support is satisfactory. However, there is a room for improvement.

I did not use any other similar product.

The initial setup was quite complex because of the lack of detailed documentation.

I implemented it in-house. My advice is to first set up the pilot for a small environment and then go all out.

There are several valuable features, and the two most valuable to use are--

• ClearPass Policy Manager 
• ClearPass Guest

ClearPass Guest allows us to build a structured external captive portal with customized landing page for each customer.

ClearPass Policy Manager has to be easier to configure. Now, it is very powerful but very complex when you want to set some “profile enforcement” only for some type of guests or a disconnection policy with Radius COA.

We've had no issues with deploying this solution.

It's a very stable product and we haven't had any issues with instability.

It's scaled for our needs.

Plan very carefully your final configuration or you can lose yourself in the configurations phase.

Our company provides professional services and we implement the features based on the customer requirement. All the features in ClearPass are good and work the way they need to.

Based on our implementations for many customers, it seems that they're most interested in the OnGuard feature that checks the compliance of corporate laptops and which restricts network access for users who are not compliant with security policies.

The reporting feature in ClearPass has found devices that are non-compliant had has addressed issues during the initial implementation phase.

Our customers also often request the guest feature, which they find very useful.

The OnGuard agent requires some enhancements.

We've used it for the last three years.

It works best when you plan deployment according to device behavior while integrated in the network.

It's been generally stable.

It scales well in our customer network environments.

Our TAC is very responsive and very helpful. They are able to provide solutions for all the new requirements by creating customized SQL queries and configs.

I worked initially with Cisco ISE, but I didn't really get to know it well. My company currently provides ClearPass solutions only.

We plan deployments considering all the configuring that needs to be done on the other integrated devices. The setup always ends up smooth and straightforward.

You should test all the requirements during the PoC itself so that the planning and deployment will be smooth.

The policy manager is the most valuable feature for us because it allows us to manage every client request in the way we want.

For an international big Italian fashion customer, we have deployed the WiFi network worldwide, including the hotspot network for serving the customer’s demand of a free connection in its stores.

I would like for Aruba to make it easier to configure. They could integrate the different engines (Policy Manager, Guest, Onboard) into one single product.

We've had no problems with deployment.

It's been stable for us.

It's scaled for our needs.

Attend first a ClearPass course as it’s very important in order to understand the product deeply.

ClearPass offers a complete NAC solution including standard AAA functions with advanced policy enforcements for multi-vendor wired and wireless networks.

It has automated the bring-your-own-device process through the Onboard feature and posture health check validation through the OnGuard module, plus it has a robust and customized guest management experience.

I’ve designed and implemented ClearPass for several enterprises that were looking for a compete NAC and guest management solution. ClearPass was the best fit to address different client requirements and tailor the security access policy based on their needs.

Reporting module has room for improvement. It also need integration with SIEM solutions and Next Generation Firewalls.

We've used it for three years.

There are a few issues here and there but they're not worth mentioning.

It's very good.

It depends on the scenario, but if the use cases and prerequisites were defined correctly before the implementation then it will be easier to implement.

I started with an in-house implementation and consulted the vendor team when it’s required.

ClearPass has competitors, but it has kept its leadership position within the Magic Quadrant for the last three years.

I would advise you to at least include ClearPass in any PoC.

Aruba Clearpass has a great set of networking securing features and, with its four modules policy manager, guests, onboard, and insight, it will give you the best NAC solution along with AAA, RADIUS, TACACS+ and BYOD features, which will help you to have a robust security on your network.

Actually with many projects, I implemented it to make all authentication centralized and all vLAN assignments automated along with health checks to make network security much easier.

We've been using it for over three years.

No issues encountered.

It's excellent.

It's excellent.

Compared with all NAC vendors, it is the best.

It is complex in a good way that gives you full flexibility to do a lot of scenarios.

It has the best ROI as it will secure all critical data.
