Just like the title states. Anyone have any opinions/insight on centralized remote management systems?

Yes, but RADIUS does the same thing.Looking for AAA. But I wouldn't mind using a comparative RADIUS solution.
Also, isn't using ACS a way to centrally manage the accounts your network engineers use to access network equipment like routers, switches, firewalls, etc?

Are you running any windows servers. I have a step by step on my blog (with screenshots) here that details exactly how to set up NPS on 2008 R2 and then part 2 shows you how to set it up on the cisco switch/router.
Part 1 : Use RADIUS to manage Cisco Devices
Part 2 : Cisco RADIUS Setup
RADIUS != TACACSI wouldn't say RADIUS does the same thing. You can definitely use it for authentication, but you can get much, much more granular for authorization when using TACACS.
So the scenario (real life), is I have a technical school environment, about 25 class rooms, 1,100+ students. We have 55 Catalyst Switches and 3 ISRs. It's such a pain to do remote administration, especially with personnel changes, as you have to remotely or physically go to each device and create accounts, change passwords, etc.
And all we would leave on the devices is a admin account in case of emergencies/loss of connectivity to the ACS and possibly a guest.
My management options are Active Directory 2008 R2 with:
Microsoft NPS
I haven't seen any issues.cyr0n_k0r, you put in one of the configuration steps to just use unencrypted PAP/SPAP, do you feel like using these protocols would be secure in a live environment?
