Aruba ClearPass

Configuration is simple, it also works with the iPhone app.

Comments: We switched to this secure connection product when we started working from home. We were concerned about the initial setup because it is a commercial product, but it was simple to set up with the iPhone app and I was able to start using it within 10 minutes of setting it up. I liked it from the start; the video conferencing has been comfortable and uninterrupted. Furthermore, the connection status can be viewed, and we were able to replace security with peace of mind. Previously, when adding access points, settings had to be configured individually; however, with this product, settings are made automatically when connecting to the company LAN, so no time is wasted on setting up or troubleshooting. The guest Wi-Fi feature is extremely useful.

Pros:

The setup and operation were simple, and we were able to use them right away because the instructions were brief and easy to follow. There was a time when I couldn't connect, but I quickly identified and resolved the issue.

Cons:

When using it, there are no operational issues. If possible, set the SSID as the default access point to broaden the range of protection.

NAC that is getting something more...

Comments: NAC,
Guest authentication
"Colorless wired port setup"
Reporting
Network inventory as side-effect

Pros:

Features, stability, interoperability, security

Cons:

Price, different speed in terms of evolution between different modules

Aruba ClearPass

Comments: More good than bad - allowed us to expand our internal wireless options that we were withholding without additional security. Would consider using for port security as well, but cost prohibitive for us.

Pros:

Granular control - very easy to specificy multiple criteria for securing your assets. Vendor agnostic - works across many other brands of network gear.

Cons:

Steep learning curve, although support can assist. Some support ventures has taken too long to resolve, which seems to be due to complexity of the product.

ClearPass - Easy NAC and piece of mind

Pros:

The support we have received from Aruba and the vendor for this product has been amazing. They helped with implementing and customizing the platform so that we had a worry free roll out to our production platform.

Cons:

Cost and the learning curve of how to set the policies.

ClearPass as overseeing the LAN/WiFI ecosystem

Comments: I mainly use CelarPass to authenticate devices on wired and wireless networks. My overall impression is very positive. I solve business problems such as secure connection to the wifi network of company mobile phones or authentication of guests in the wifi network.

Pros:

Extensive functionality of the radius server and creating a guest captive portal.

Cons:

Relatively difficult for novices, but ASP Aruba provides guides.

Game Changer

Pros:

Aruab Clearpass integration with RADIUS is unmatched. Mac Auth'ing has never been easier. Set it and forget it type of configuration.

Cons:

I have used Clearpass PM and Guest services for 2 years now and no cons to list.

Clearpass, Find out what's locking your AD account

Pros:

What I like best is a quick and easy interface that allows me to see what device is sending bad passwords to the wireless network.

Cons:

What I like least is likely not a problem with Clearpass but with the device communicating to the network, but when there is no data as to what the device is it makes it a lot harder to see what is locking someone.

Making Network security easy.

Comments: Overall ClearPass is a great tool to the network engineer and though can take a while to set up and implement, saves a lot of time in the long run.

Pros:

ClearPass offers a lot and is highly customisable. It makes network security a lot more seamless and saves a lot of time and work.

Cons:

It's not the easiest software to use our of the box and if you're not in and out of it regualry, it's easy to forget where everything is.

Clearpass is a great NAC solution

Pros:

I like how the monitoring tool provides great detail for troubleshooting login issues. I also like how I have the ability to control Airplay services with Airgroup with my Aurba APs.

Cons:

There is a bit of a knowledge curve, but Aurba's support and Airhead community are a great help to finding solutions and answers to questions.

Aruba ClearPass Review

Pros:

Clearpass is very good software because 3rd party switch vendor supported and very usefull web gui.

Cons:

this software not working agentless full feature properties and 802.1x does not work independently.

Pretty Easy To Use

Comments: Overall it is a good product just a little tweaking her and there and it would be perfect.

Pros:

I like that you can decided to setup multiple accounts at the same time making it easy to get wireless access to guest fast to a lot of guest at a momnets notice.

Cons:

Only thing I am finding is the editing when I create multiple accounts to extend the days.

Makes network management a Breeze

Pros:

Clearpass has allowed for single step policy management and has made it an absolute breeze. It simplified the whole process and allowed for a 1 stop shop.

Cons:

The initial setup is a bit complicated but after its operational, it almost runs itself.

Aruba ClearPass, una soluzione ideale per chi lavora sul web

Pros:

La grande capacità di offrire dei report immediati e costantemente aggiornati su problemi, minacce e possibili dati utili per il proprio lavoro, con possibilità di intervenire nell'immediato

Cons:

La rete di servizi è particolarmente settorializzata e spostarsi da una sezione all'altra appare macchinoso
