Do you use the native OS supplicant or a 3rd party one like Anyconnect?

Please share your experience..

We use native.  It works pretty well on our client OSes (Win 7/8, Mac, etc).

Ok, sweet. Were about to implement ISE so im curious about it for the wired part.. Been hearing mixed reviews esp about windows.

Did a deployment a couple of years ago in a  mixed WinXP/7 environment and choose Ciscos supplicant to get the same behavior independent of OS.

The Cisco client makes the ISE client side much, much, much easier. I would consider it indispensable to a rollout.

The Windows supplicant behavior can be erratic.

Also, be sure to set up the ISE as a trust point for CA in your PKI system. If you use Windows Server as a CA, this can be done in AD.

I used the native client so far.
Currently it's stable. Currently... Because we've twice had a wave of "no connection" issues after Windows updates, that disappeared after a new update.

Windows updates can really ruin a guy's day when they crash the app he's in charge of.
