I would rate Portnox an eight out of ten. Operational efficiency has become more complex and time-consuming due to increased security measures. While previously devices could easily connect to the network, now a more rigorous procedure is required to ensure security. This involves a help desk ticket and MAC address bypass to properly document and allow devices, which are often more than just employee laptops, onto the network. Although this process increases complexity and workload, it significantly enhances security. The maintenance is managed by Portnox. While cloud security is a valid concern, Portnox prioritizes security as a network security company. Their practices align with industry standards, even with the increased exposure of a cloud-based system. For global companies, the centralized management platform offers significant advantages.
I would advise having templates ready for your switch configurations with Portnox config integrated into them so they're easy to replicate across your network. If you use a cloud-based switch to propagate the configuration, it’s very easy. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
As far as I know, I don't think that maintenance is required for Portnox Clear, as it is a solution that gets updated from time to time. If there is a maintenance requirement, it may lead to the product having some downtime, but I am not aware or sure if it will happen the way I think. I recommend people use Portnox Clear as it is a cloud-based product. Apart from the value users get from the solution in the area of network access control, users also get value from its in-built cloud, making it a very scalable tool that is very easy to manage from any location. You just need to log in to the portal and then carry out whatever activity you want to carry out. I want others to buy Portnox Clear, as it is a cloud-based solution, making it a tool that is very easy to implement, support, and deploy. If I don't consider the issue with the solution around the area of agents, then I can say that it is a good solution, but because it is an agentless product, my company needs to provide a lot of explanation to ensure the conversion of prospects into customers. Portnox Clear is a very solid solution to work with, especially when considering the ease of deployment it offers. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

I think while Portnox provides wonderful technology, the support and maintenance agreements are problematic. In particular, when they're dealing with a local partner. Partners really need to be skilled and knowledgeable. I rate this solution eight out of 10.

If you want scalability and have many different vendors in your environment, you must first ensure that they are compatible with those devices. However, if you're looking for pricing, they're quite reasonable when compared to other vendors. In addition, installation is less complicated when compared to other vendors. I would rate Portnox Clear a seven out of ten.
