We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiNAC and Portnox CORE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Access Control (NAC) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."FortiNAC has enhanced our network visibility because FortiNAC monitors MAC addresses and other network devices, like Cisco, Catalyst, or HPE switches."
"The device fingerprinting feature allowed for easy creation and enforcement of access policies."
"Fortinet FortiNAC has good user account customization."
"When it works, it's great. It keeps things off the network which are supposed to be off the network."
"It's a very good solution and one thing I have noted is its simplicity and the ease of the set-up process."
"The interface is good and simple to use."
"Fortinet FortiNAC offers several valuable features, including data security, 99 percent uptime with VPN connections, MAC filtering, and traffic prioritization."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiNAC is compliance, which we can do with the clients and the endpoints on the network."
"The Vidahost feature is currently in action, and it appears to be providing valuable data insights."
"The most important feature is that this solution is agentless. So, you don't have to install any agents on endpoints."
"It's a stable product."
"The minute people have issues on their network, we can see what is happening right away."
"Previous to the deployment we didn't have complete visibility of all the endpoints, all the devices that are connected to the network. But with the deployment of portnox, we could see all the devices and where they're connecting. We can equally segregate and apply different rules, policies to each location that we didn't monitor specifically."
"There is an add-on feature for application control to kill unwanted applications when launched on a user's device."
"The product is a valuable solution within zero-trust architecture, enhancing network security and visibility."
"It's easy to manage and troubleshoot thanks to the lightweight components."
"There could be better integration with legacy equipment. It integrates perfectly with all Fortinet solutions, but if you look at other third-party integrations—not on the networking part; but more on the security infrastructure part—it's more limited."
"Its technical support needs improvement."
"The reporting capability needs to be improved."
"Classifications and visibility need to be improved a lot. They have to start work on being agentless. Agentless means they need to have strong integration with Windows."
"Technical support could improve their response times."
"The GUI is a little bit strange — different than other Fortinet products."
"The course content could be improved, it's not that simple to work through."
"Fortinet FortiNAC's documentation should be improved because there's not much debugging or troubleshooting documentation for the Fortinet FortiNAC."
"The solution did have some stability issues, however, all I had to do was restart it."
"The price could be better."
"Portnox CORE can improve on support for unmanaged switches (or hubs) and other brands of network devices. These kinds of devices are still in use in organisations, especially SMEs who cannot afford to buy a managed switch."
"It could be a little cheaper."
"It would be good to integrate Portnox CORE with CLEAR."
"It might be beneficial to improve the ease of integrating the product with firewalls."
"The product should consider more integration with vendors like Huawei. It should also improve visibility. The solution should offer a partner portal that can provide customers training on the in and out of the solution."
"We have been having some issues with it. That's why we're considering migrating to Portnox Clear due to some limitations with CORE."
