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."Fortinet FortiNAC is both scalable and stable."
"The initial setup was easy and straightforward."
"The network segmentation is the most important part of the solution. The integration with the Zero Trust Access solution is a crucial part of segmenting your network."
"The device fingerprinting feature allowed for easy creation and enforcement of access policies."
"Fortinet FortiNAC offers several valuable features, including data security, 99 percent uptime with VPN connections, MAC filtering, and traffic prioritization."
"It is a good product."
"Provides good performance, is easy to use and configure."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiNAC is compliance, which we can do with the clients and the endpoints on the network."
"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."
"It's easy to manage and troubleshoot thanks to the lightweight components."
"Technical support was very helpful when we needed them."
"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."
"The Vidahost feature is currently in action, and it appears to be providing valuable data insights."
"The product is a valuable solution within zero-trust architecture, enhancing network security and visibility."
"It's so easy to set up, you don't need outside assistance."
"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's local support could be improved."
"The solution's licensing price should be improved."
"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."
"Its technical support needs improvement."
"I would like to be able to compare the configuration backup before and after."
"Fortinet FortiNAC could improve its hardware for use with cloud-based firewalls."
"It might be beneficial to improve the ease of integrating the product with firewalls."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The integration between Portnox CORE and Portnox CLEAR can be better. These are two different systems, and there is no unique console for both devices. Portnox CORE is agentless, whereas Portnox CLEAR is not agentless."
"We have been having some issues with it. That's why we're considering migrating to Portnox Clear due to some limitations with CORE."
"It would be good to integrate Portnox CORE with CLEAR."
"It could be a little cheaper."
