Not so much - we use ACS for TACACS services and proxy the TACACS via RADIUS for some application but Cisco ACS is now an appliance and on the close order of 8K + SmartNet so you are looking at 20K $US for a new solution.

RADIATOR is open-source but not 'free' it has 200+ authenticators and interfaces to billing systems built in and a basic license and support for 1 yr is under $2000 US

Nothing wrong with FreeRADIUS it's just you need to 'roll your own' for a lot of stuff, If your time is worth nothing or it's a hobby or experimental setup FreeRADIUS may be the better choice. But if you want someting with AD, LDAP, Kerberos, Unix, NTLM, SQL etc built in and ready to go RADIATOR is your tool.

Hi,
Radiator RADIUS server.   There are multiple versions of this software and 
support is available for a reasonable fee  runs on Windows/Solaris/Linux

with fear of pouring petrol onto a RADIUS flamewar I'd say if
the original post aint got funding for ACS then free open source is
pushing the answer to FreeRADIUS.
