We performed a comparison between Portnox CORE and Tenable Security Center based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."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."
"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 Vidahost feature is currently in action, and it appears to be providing valuable data insights."
"The minute people have issues on their network, we can see what is happening right away."
"I am impressed with the solution's voucher capability and authentication. The tool is integrated with Active Direct storage."
"This is a self-sufficient network monitoring and security product that saves time and employee resources."
"There is an add-on feature for application control to kill unwanted applications when launched on a user's device."
"The most important feature is that this solution is agentless. So, you don't have to install any agents on endpoints."
"Feature-wise, Tenable Security Center is a very fast tool with many dashboards and reports, and it covers all our systems."
"One of the most valuable features is their distributed scan model for allotting engines to work together as a pool and handle multiple scans at once, across multiple environments. Automatic scanning distribution is a distinguishing feature of their toolset."
"The most valuable feature of the product is the Assurance Report Card, which gives us an overview of the security poster in just a simple glance."
"The solution is completely stable and operation is user-friendly."
"Tenable Security Center scans networks and gives reports."
"The product is our second solution, and we are happy that it meets our requirements."
"The solution is one of the most, if not the most, stable product available."
"The scans are the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"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."
"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."
"The solution did have some stability issues, however, all I had to do was restart it."
"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 price could be better."
"We have been having some issues with it. That's why we're considering migrating to Portnox Clear due to some limitations with CORE."
"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 solution should include compliance-based scanning."
"Its reporting can be improved. It is not easy to generate a scan report the way we want. The data is okay, but we can't easily change the template to make it look the way we want."
"We are facing some challenges related to our channel."
"The product should provide risk-based vulnerability management."
"A good plugin editor would be a good additional option for the Security Center."
"The biggest issue I have with the solution is when I'm using the scanning it picks up the original DNS of that device. That means, before we image it and actually change the DNS to something within our company structure, it'll just be random numbers and letters and Tenable will stick to that DNS for a long time."
"Current web page needs improvement, slows down processes."
"The integration is very good, although it still needs to improve."
