NAC comparison

Your title mentions Microsoft's NAC product as being the best yet your NAC comparison page doesn't even list them. What's going on?

Misleading article

0

After reading through the report, your article and title is very misleading. In terms of current offering, Juniper seems to have the edge. In terms of strategy, Bradford seems to be leading. In terms of market presence, Cisco seems to be leader. Your article seems very biased. Expect better from networkworld.

Report is misleading

0

Are people using NAC and NAP components or has Cisco and Microsoft counted the number of capable devices shipped? I thought I heard that Bradford really only works in a NAC environment. I talked to someone at a recent show and got that impression. Same for ForeScout. Avenda seemed to support more frameworks and they said they are a MS partner. Are you comparing smaller company products any time soon?

Folks this article is just highlighting the Forrester report. Read the Forrester report for the details!

Microsoft NAP will win the battle for the endpoint

0

I think Forrester got it right - as they said, Microsoft is 'near-ubiquitous' in the large enterprise which this report covers.

When one of the enterprise NAC challenges is deploying a vendors big ugly NAC client, Microsoft clearly has the advantage with NAP and they have already surpassed anyone in terms of number of client deployments.

Cisco's NAC deployment assumes a Cisco Powered Network which is a non-starter for many companies.

I disagree with Forrester on one point which is that software based NAC will be successful. It's pretty clear to me that the last thing any customer wants is Yet Another Agent.
