Cloudi-Fi Cloud NAC vs NACVIEW

Cloudi-Fi Cloud NAC runs network access control from the cloud for wired and Wi-Fi environments. Switches and access points remain enforcement points while the service handles 802.1X authentication and policy enforcement. It uses 802.1X, RADIUS, and EAP-TLS with one policy set across wired and wireless sites. Authentication can use EAP-TLS certificates, directory credentials, or MAC authentication bypass for endpoints without a supplicant. Policies support dynamic VLAN assignment, role-based access, and isolation or quarantine of unknown or unmanaged endpoints. Identity checks can use Microsoft Entra ID, LDAP, Active Directory, client certificates, or approved MAC addresses. Managed endpoints can receive certificates through an MDM such as Microsoft Intune. A cloud captive portal supports self-registration or sponsored access for visitors, contractors, and personal devices. Authentication results and session data remain available for audits across sites. Cloudi-Fi identifies multi-site organizations, IoT-heavy networks, SASE or Zero Trust programs, post-merger environments, and sites replacing end-of-life NAC appliances as intended use cases. Pricing is by request, with no displayed price.

NACVIEW controls which users and devices can access wired, wireless, and VPN networks. It detects connected devices in real time and can retrieve endpoint information from Active Directory, SQL databases, LDAP, and RADIUS servers. Access controls include 802.1X authentication, VLAN segmentation, captive portals, and guest and BYOD access. The system can identify unknown or misconfigured devices and quarantine infected devices. Device profiling uses DHCP Fingerprinting, HTTP/S, NMAP, DNS, and RADIUS. NACVIEW can exchange information with Firewall, UTM, MDM, SIEM, and other cybersecurity solutions; NV3 includes an API for automation and integration. Deployment is available as software for a virtual appliance or as a hardware appliance, with VMware and Hyper-V listed as virtual machine options. The 60-day trial provides full software functionality on a user's own network. The free NV-20 lifetime license is limited to 20 simultaneously authorized endpoint devices. Deployment requires at least one managed switch. Annual subscriptions include support; perpetual licenses require first-year support.
