Portnox Demo - Portnox Cloud Dashboard
This dashboard shows an overview of your connected endpoints and accounts. You can see the total number of devices in your organization, accounts, and devices that have been authenticated in the last 90 minutes. The map on the left shows where users are connecting from.
Portnox Demo - Risk Assessment
You have many options for risk scoring across multiple devices types - make sure everyone's phone has a passcode, is up to date, and is not rootkitted/jailbroken. Risk is constantly evaluated, so any changes will be immediately factored into the device's risk score.
Portnox Demo - Automated Risk Remediation
This shows an example of just some of the options you have for automated remediation based on device risk score. Beyond the simple Quarantine/Allow/Deny, we can take actions like removing applications, updating anti-virus, and more!

"Effortless Cloud Network Control with Zero Maintenance"
What do you like best about Portnox?

It provides very good Network access control in the Cloud with no maintenance needed by my team. This gives us the visibility, controls and management needed to secure our internal networks. very easy deployment via a push of the agent to all our machines. The support has been fantastic. This has been very reliable from day to day perspective and helped us with our security posture reviews. Integrating into our network stack was seamless as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Portnox?

We had some issues initially setting it up and also for our laptop deployments, it creates more work since we have our techs login and then have to reset or flush the agent cache. Every once in a while, we have an issue with a port being blocked but have been able to uninstall and reinstall the NAC agent to get around this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Integration and Outstanding Support Across Multiple Sites"
What do you like best about Portnox?

Very easy to implement, agent is very lightweight and the customer support is fantastic. Whenever weve had issues with our obscure hardware and weird radius requirements theyve always managed to get us up and running. We use this across many sites across the UK and it works seemlessly. was very easy to integrate as any other 802.1x provider would be on a network level Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Portnox?

It is more expensive than other NAC providers, but you get what you pay for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Deployment with Top-Notch Support"
What do you like best about Portnox?

I appreciate Portnox for its lightweight agent that requires no user interaction, making it efficient and user-friendly. What I found most valuable was how Portnox support guided us through the initial setup process, turning what initially seemed daunting into a seamless deployment experience. Their involvement and support during the setup highlighted their commitment to customer satisfaction. This ensures that even as technology deployments can be challenging, Portnox stands by its users to make transitions smoother. The tool's capability to lock down all physical ports across various offices with minimal footprint is also impressive, enhancing our network security architecture. These aspects collectively contribute to the high regard I hold for Portnox and my willingness to rate it highly on a recommendation scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Portnox?

I would like Portnox to automatically parse old devices that have not been seen on the network for a period of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"RADIUS for the admin that doesn't want to manage RADIUS."
What do you like best about Portnox?

The platform is purpose-built to handle RADIUS. Setup is really fast, works almost right away, and has been seamless in functionality. The platform includes certificate management and we were able to integrate it into WorkspaceOne so we are able to revoke certs as part of our workflow shoudl the need arise.

Presales was a good experience, with knowledgeable individuals rather than pushy reps and a fully functional pilot program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Portnox?

Some errors are difficult to pinpoint, possibly because we are using WorkspaceOne for cert deployment, and there doesn't seem to be a lot of experience with that on the Portnox side. Troubleshooting requires four different parties (Internal network, internal endpoint, Portnox, WS1) to coordinate and collaborate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Game-Changer for Network Access Control"
What do you like best about Portnox?

I love how Portnox serves as a robust network access control solution at my company, providing reliable tools and the flexibility of remote endpoints and cloud infrastructure. Its cloud-native NAC platform stands out as incredibly valuable, offering centralized visibility and control without the necessity of on-premises hardware, which is essential given our multiple locations across the US. I appreciate the ease of initial setup with Portnox, highlighting our ability to jump right in and begin our operations efficiently. The centralization of managing both managed and unmanaged endpoints is a breeze, especially with the cloud-native approach reducing operational overhead. Integrating Portnox with Okta ensures that we enforce conditional network access based on identity and compliance posture, adding a significant layer of security. Furthermore, connecting it with Meraki for our network infrastructure has streamlined management and simplified the process considerably. The reliability, scalability, and low operational overhead of Portnox make it a compelling choice that I would definitely consider repurchasing. Overall, everything is currently meeting our standards, and I find great satisfaction with the solution as it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Portnox?

I find it challenging to identify which devices belong to us versus personal devices brought in by individuals. This identification and ensuring that devices connect to the correct Wi-Fi is time-consuming and requires careful switching to ensure proper access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Network security that works"
What do you like best about Portnox?

Ease of setup and rollout, we were up and running in a week. There are no complicated setup steps, no scripts to run, setup once and forget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Portnox?

There is nothing I can think of that I dislike about Portnox. It does all the things it supposed to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Secure and Efficient, GUI Needs Refinement"
What do you like best about Portnox?

I really appreciate the 'set it and forget it' nature of Portnox. Once it was set up, which admittedly took a bit of time, it became an integral part of our security measures that doesn't require constant attention. I love how efficiently it keeps unwanted devices and bad actors off our LAN, ensuring our network remains secure. Additionally, I find it incredibly useful that Portnox identifies the ports devices are connected to on our switches without needing to individually log into each switch, saving a significant amount of time and effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Portnox?

The GUI is far from perfect, and I find it problematic that the columns are not sortable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Security, But Sync Issues After Updates"
What do you like best about Portnox?

Portnox is a great tool that we are able to use for people to get dropped off or put on our corporate network Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Portnox?

The most common issue with Portnox that we run into is that occasionally after system updates it requires that agent to Sync and this does not always happen automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Portnox simple to use, which significantly enhances my user experience without any unnecessary complications.

I find the user interface of Portnox lacking and believe it could be improved. Additionally, I've experienced instances where Portnox has gone down and hasn't come back up immediately. Although the issues usually get resolved within twenty-four to forty-eight hours, it's still inconvenient and causes disruptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
