National IT Director Medical Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent Alternative to the "Same Old NAC Solutions"" November 24, 2020 5.0 The solution is so simple to work with that we figured out 90% of it prior to our onboarding, which by the way was still very helpful. We have the same or better protection that the old solution because Portnox is easier to maintain and configure. Pros It is cloud based, comparatively easy to configure and use, reasonably priced, does not affect PC performance, and has all the features I require in a NAC solution. Requires less time, effort, expense, and expertise to maintain and operate than the typical enterprise level NACs that ruled the segment for so long. Cons Reviews like this are easy, I can honestly say that we have not run into anything that turns us off. Portnox continues to deliver. Review Source MB Matt B. IT Infrastructure specialist Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Works most of the time" June 1, 2022 4.0 Pros Very customizable and was able to authenticate devices that I wasn't expecting it to. Cons We have had a continued issue where docked laptops are not recognized as domain devices since they come onto the network before portnox is able to scan the computers registry to verify domain relationship. This causes the devices to be dropped from our network. Support has been working on it for several weeks with no clear solution. Review Source FM Felix M.
