1. The visibility into identity risk across hybrid environments is genuinely useful - surfacing dormant accounts, excessive permissions, and unusual authentication patterns in one place has helped close gaps that were previously invisible. 2. Integration with the broader Cisco security stack is seamless - identity signals feed into existing workflows without requiring significant additional configuration or custom connectors. 3. Risk scoring applied to identities and behaviors helps prioritize which alerts actually need attention, keeping the team focused on what matters rather than chasing noise.
It's nice having everything in one place, it's easier to see what is going on. Also, it works well with other tools that I already use.
Honestly for me the access feature is the best one. I am working in the travel sector where keeping records and data of customers is really crucial and earlier we used to manage the hotel booking system where every room, guest, employee was tracked in a different way like a notepad that really made a mess and it was a complete headache. But now after we started using Cisco Identity Intelligence it saves us a lot as well as our data is absolutely secured too.
1. The analytics and investigation experience could be deeper - drilling into specific identity incidents sometimes hits a ceiling where the available context isn't quite enough to complete the picture without switching to another tool. 2. Coverage for non-Microsoft identity sources feels less developed - environments with a mix of directory services and cloud identity providers require more manual configuration to get full visibility. 3. The platform is still evolving and some features feel earlier-stage than the overall product positioning suggests - a few workflows that should be straightforward require more steps than expected.
Timely set up, the interface isn't very intuitive until you get the settings, and there's a bit of a learning curve. Overall, it works well once get the set up completed, little clunky until I got fully comfortable.
Honestly, the biggest day-to-day benefit is just having a single source of truth. In the travel industry, our identity stack is usually a complete mess. We have legacy booking systems that predate my time here, modern cloud CRM tools and a huge revolving door of seasonal employees. As in our travel industry we have our employees logging in from different parts of the globe to sometimes it crashes while detecting the different time zone logins.
