Symantec and their partner attempted to deploy Symantec Network Control Enforcer 6100 appliances and using 802.1X. At that time many of the devices on the network were not compatible with 802.1X and deployment was stopped. We moved to Symantec DHCP Enforcer software on our Domain controllers. The DHCP enforcer works in tandem with Symantec Endpoint Protection's "host integrity" services for NAC. Worked well for Windows clients - no so much for MacOS, iOS and Android devices. DHCP NAC enforcement has been deprecated. We have stopped NAC in our environment. We are relying on domain authentication and NPS for access to our production networks today. I'm now managing Apple products with CasperSuite MDM from JAMF Software

The most valuable feature was the 802.1x support (port base control). Also, we used to host integrity policy, and it was really useful. We could control almost all the properties of the clien. Host integrity policy feature is part of the SEP antivirus, but if you use with NAC it is the best solution.

Symantec Network Access Control comes with a suite of Symantec Endpoint Protection. You can think of any secured method of access control, and SNAC provides it in a better way. Basically, it provides 802.1x enforced access control, DHCP enforced access control, and gateway enforced access control. If you have a multi-layered VLAN structure on your network, then SNAC is the best choice because any of these three types of access control can be enforced with SNAC. In a domain based environment, you can also enforce various desktop policies through it. It has its own firewall architecture which can help you control the access methods of your network in a better way. SNAC also provides MAC based authentication features.

Symantec Network Access Control [EOL] Reviews Summary
Author info	Rating	Review Summary
Technology Specialist: Enterprise Technology Management at a educational organization with 1,001-5,000 employees		We attempted Symantec NAC, first with 802.1X, then DHCP Enforcer, but it failed for non-Windows devices. Symantec deprecated NAC, so we stopped using it. It didn't improve our organization, and we now use domain authentication and MDM.
Assistant Manager - IT (System and Network Management Department) with 1,001-5,000 employees		We found Symantec NAC valuable for its 802.1x and host integrity, enhancing our security. Setup was easy, offering good ROI. We encountered agent conflicts and support issues, and the product is now end-of-life.
Manager of Operations at a tech company with 51-200 employees	4.0	I found Symantec Network Access Control offers robust features for access control, including 802.1x and VLAN support. However, its installation is complex, online documentation is insufficient, and the price is high, despite good customer support.
