For us and our clients, the most valuable features of Identity Services Engine are really around the rich contact sharing that ISE gives you.
Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) offers centralized secure access control, integrating with Cisco and third-party systems, but it has a complex setup and steep learning curve. It scales efficiently, supporting thousands of users and diverse authentication databases. Its profiling, NAC, and multifactor authentication enhance security. Although proficient in automation, licensing and non-Cisco integration need improvement. Upgrades are often problematic, requiring refinement for ease of use and effective compatibility.
