Hi,


The NAC can operate without the 802.1x mechanism on the switch side. Also, I think you are making a very wrong comparison on the basis of the class it belongs to(FortiNac vs FortiAuthenticator).

Here is a comparison of the two solutions, FortiNAC and Huawei NAC, which are both network access control (NAC) solutions: FortiNAC Pros: Wide range of features, including endpoint compliance, posture assessment, and threat detection Easy to deploy and manage Scalable and can meet the demands of large organizations Cons: Can be expensive Not as well-known as some other NAC solutions Huawei NAC Pros: Affordable Easy to deploy and manage Good integration with other Huawei security solutions Cons: Limited feature set Not as scalable as FortiNAC Some prefer FortiNAC over Huawei NAC because it is more scalable and has a broader range of features. On the other hand, some recommend Huawei NAC over FortiNAC for affordability and ease of deployment and management.

It was interesting not to see Okta on this list. Did it make a broader list, but not the top tools?   I have implemented Okta, and I have implemented a dual-headed Okta in the past with ease, so I was a little surprised. The other tool I use is Thycotic Secret Server for Admin passwords, though they are now part of a new company.

As a user of Cisco ISE, I am completely not trusting this review. Cisco ISE is a buggy immature solution.
