Cons
"As there are no agents in Portnox Clear, the customers of the product cannot download any agents on their devices, making them unsure if the product offers proper security.""I believe there is a lot of room for improvement in terms of integration.""From a resource perspective, the OEM can do better in terms of resource utilization."

More Portnox Clear Cons →

"The tool needs to support multi-vendor environments. Currently, my experience with it has been primarily within Ruckus environments. However, I haven't explored it for multi-vendor scenarios. It would be great to see newer builds that are multi-vendor capable of full integration.""The hardest part we've had to deal with is trying to find some physical product recently as everything is going like hotcakes.""I believe the solution is missing some great features which are present in other solutions like Aruba, UiPath, and Cisco ISE.""The scalability could be better.""The setup process is a bit complex.""The solution could improve by adding more detailed information that customers have available on the dashboards."
