"Compliance checks are a good feature. Compliance check is for windows updates and for antivirus updates, etc."
"The features are more expandable."
"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."
"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 technical support is top-notch."
"The Vidahost feature is currently in action, and it appears to be providing valuable data insights."

"Technical support was very helpful when we needed them."
"This solution could be more agile."
"One of the biggest issues with Fortinet FortiNAC is that it is not intuitive and has a high learning curve."
"Fortinet FortiNAC's documentation should be improved because there's not much debugging or troubleshooting documentation for the Fortinet FortiNAC."
"The training from Fortinet FortiNAC could improve. Fortinet has to plan for better training for its partners. Additionally, device management should have more integration with other devices, such as new and third-party devices."
"The product must make its UI similar to other Fortinet products."
"The dashboard needs to improve."
"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."
"Its technical support needs improvement."
"It could be a little cheaper."
"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 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."
"We have been having some issues with it. That's why we're considering migrating to Portnox Clear due to some limitations with CORE."
"The solution did have some stability issues, however, all I had to do was restart it."
"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 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 price could be better."
