"The technical support is top-notch."
"The minute people have issues on their network, we can see what is happening right away."

"It would be good to integrate Portnox CORE with CLEAR."
"It could be a little cheaper."
"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."
"The solution did have some stability issues, however, all I had to do was restart it."
"The product should consider more integration with vendors like Huawei. It should also improve visibility. The solution should offer a partner portal that can provide customers training on the in and out of the solution."
"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 price could be better."
"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."
