Riemann vs Cisco ISE: What are the differences?

Developers describe Riemann as "A network monitoring system". Riemann aggregates events from your servers and applications with a powerful stream processing language. Send an email for every exception in your app. Track the latency distribution of your web app. See the top processes on any host, by memory and CPU. On the other hand, Cisco ISE is detailed as "A network administration product that enables the creation and enforcement of security and access policies". A critical component of any zero-trust strategy is securing the environment that everyone and everything is connecting to: the workplace. It enables a dynamic and automated approach to policy enforcement that empowers software-defined access and automated network segmentation within IT and OT environments.

Riemann and Cisco ISE can be primarily classified as "Network Monitoring" tools.

Some of the features offered by Riemann are:

• See your system at a glance with a Sinatra app
• Throttle or roll up multiple events into a single message
• Forward any event stream to Graphite

On the other hand, Cisco ISE provides the following key features:

• Gain visibility with context and control
• Extend zero trust to contain threats
• Accelerate value of existing solutions
