"The most valuable features are usability and security."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the user-friendliness, the graphical interface, and the technical support. The interface is very nice and the customization is good."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiNAC are user device management and there are plenty of policies."
"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."
"The ease of deployment is valuable."
"The device fingerprinting feature allowed for easy creation and enforcement of access policies."
"It effectively addresses issues arising from endpoint connections to the network, contributing to an enhanced overall security solution for our clients."
"For the information security team, the security level was improved because it helped to manage and prevent rogue devices from connecting to the corporate network. The reporting was granular, and reports we scheduled for delivery on Portnox were useful during investigations and audits, especially in cases where the IP address changed."
"The technical support is top-notch."
"The Vidahost feature is currently in action, and it appears to be providing valuable data insights."
"I am impressed with the solution's voucher capability and authentication. The tool is integrated with Active Direct storage."
"It's a stable product."
"It's so easy to set up, you don't need outside assistance."
"The minute people have issues on their network, we can see what is happening right away."
"There is an add-on feature for application control to kill unwanted applications when launched on a user's device."
"The product must make its UI similar to other Fortinet products."
"The interface works fine, but it could be better."
"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."
"I hope that Fortinet can add a feature with a remediation mechanism when you find a broken piece so that you can click on something and download the needed update or resolve the firewall issue more easily. Currently, we have to use an external remediation server to download updates."
"The deployment of Fortinet FortiNAC could be better. When we are deploying the solution we have some level of dependencies with other vendors for their connection to Fortinet FortiNAC. Without these dependencies, it would be better."
"This solution could be more agile."
"Keeping the hard disk on the one series will be easier for the distributor and will keep the prices lower for the customer."
"The course content could be improved, it's not that simple to work through."
"One of the things for the on-premise is that sometimes you click on it and it takes a while for it to respond."
"The solution did have some stability issues, however, all I had to do was restart it."
"It would be good to integrate Portnox CORE with CLEAR."
"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."
"Now, the way security is viewed, maybe including something like AI, to automate some of the things that are required to be done would be great."
"The licensing is based on a per-port price, even when you are not using all of the ports, and this is something that could be improved."
"It could be a little cheaper."
"It might be beneficial to improve the ease of integrating the product with firewalls."
