Cisco ISE FTE Support Estimates

Hi all. We have been doing some analysis between NAC solutions and have landed on ISE as our preferred solution. We are in the budging process for next year and in addition to the ISE licensing we are wanting to bake in some headcount costs to support the system. Wondering what everyone’s real world experience is with the appropriate number of staff to supporting an install.

Here are some considerations to help compare scale: 1) ~22,000 LAN endpoints spread across 60 offices 2) ~1500 VPN endpoints 3) Would be enabling posture checking on VPN connections 4) Would be licensing Plus to allow for device profiling on LAN (I.e., expectation is we won’t need to look at every devices connecting but instead only review/approve outliers that don’t fit defines profiles). 5) quickly growing environment, fairly standard corporate hardware but probably have 100+ new devices at minimum added a month.

Let me know how you are compatible staffed to manage ISE in your world!
