SonicWall Secure Mobile Access vs. Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE)

SonicWall Secure Mobile Access (SMA) is a unified secure access gateway that enables organization to provide anytime, anywhere and any device access to any application. SMA’s granular access control policy engine, context-aware device authorization, application-level VPN and advanced authentication with single sign-on enable organizations to move to the cloud with ease, and embrace BYOD and mobility in a hybrid IT environment.

Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) is a comprehensive network access control (NAC) solution that serves as the cornerstone of a zero-trust security framework. It enables organizations to enforce security policies, manage endpoints, and ensure that only trusted users and devices can access network resources. By integrating intelligence from across the network stack, ISE provides real-time contextual information, allowing for precise control over who and what connects to the network.
