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."It's a very good solution and one thing I have noted is its simplicity and the ease of the set-up process."
"Provides good performance, is easy to use and configure."
"I like FortiNAC's integration with other Fortinet devices. They work together well, but the solution also works with other network devices."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is having visibility over the IoT devices on the network."
"Fortinet FortiNAC is both scalable and stable."
"The solution is good at giving a deep dive into each product. It tells you, for example, what is connected to the network. It gives us good reporting tools."
"FortiNAC has enhanced our network visibility because FortiNAC monitors MAC addresses and other network devices, like Cisco, Catalyst, or HPE switches."
"The most valuable features are usability and security."
"The biggest improvement has been knowing that something unauthorized isn't going to get installed on anyone’s machines."
"Feature-wise, the learning mode and the fact that it's blocking everything are the most valuable. I don't see why more companies don't use the type of product."
"The most valuable feature is selective elevation, which allows elevating an individual process to admin privilege without granting admin privilege to that user, which has been by far the most useful feature outside of the overall solution itself."
"Every single feature has been invaluable."
"ThreatLocker Allowlisting has all of these features integrated into one console, making it effective."
"The great thing is that if you get a malicious email and you try to run something, ThreatLocker is not going to let it do anything. It is not going to let anything infect your network."
"Application control, ring-fencing, and storage control are the most important features, followed closely by elevation."
"The sandbox functionality is fantastic."
"The user interface and the product's intuitiveness could be improved."
"The product must make its UI similar to other Fortinet products."
"Fortinet FortiNAC could improve its hardware for use with cloud-based firewalls."
"We have some stability issues with the solution, the network drops out too often."
"The reporting can also use improvement."
"FortiNAC could be more scalable."
"This solution could be more agile."
"FortiNAC could improve integration with other vendors."
"We identified several areas that we would like to see improved."
"The snapshots used in the ThreatLocker University portal are outdated snippets and have not been updated in conjunction with the portal itself."
"The portal can be a little overwhelming at times from an administration point of view. It displays a lot of information, and it's all useful. However, sometimes there is too much on the screen to sift through, especially if you're trying to diagnose a client's problem with a piece of software. Maybe something has stopped working since they updated it, and we need to see if ThreatLocker is blocking a component of that software."
"Adding applications to the allowlist can sometimes feel overwhelming."
"One area I see for improvement is in the visibility of support tickets within the ThreatLocker ticketing system."
"Something we have come up against a couple of times is that we have two clients that are software developers. They create software that doesn't have digital signatures and that's not easy to categorize or whitelist with ThreatLocker. We have to go in and make custom rules to allow them to do their work and to be protected from malicious threats."
"More visibility in the built-ins would be nice."
"The reporting could be improved."
