NACVIEW vs SecureW2 Cloud NAC

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.

SecureW2 Cloud NAC is a cloud network access control service that manages access for users and devices through certificate-based 802.1X authentication and identity-provider policies. It supports wired, Wi-Fi, and VPN access, including passwordless 802.1X with EAP-TLS. Administrators can set role-, policy-, and attribute-based rules, with runtime VLAN segmentation. For guests and BYOD, it offers certificate enrollment and WebAuth captive portals, plus self-service or sponsored guest access. MAC-based authentication and filtering provide an option for IoT and legacy devices that cannot use 802.1X. Certificate enrollment, renewal, and revocation can be automated through APIs and protocols including ACME, SCEP, JSON, WSTEP, and EST. SecureW2 says its PKI and RADIUS controls do not require a persistently active endpoint agent. Integrations include Google, Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, CrowdStrike, Cisco, Jamf, and Intune. Pricing is available on request through a form asking for solution type, organization type, and device count.
