RUCKUS Cloudpath Enrollment System vs SecureW2 JoinNow

RUCKUS Cloudpath Enrollment System manages secure access to wired and wireless networks for users and devices. It is available as a cloud service or as virtualized on-premises software for VMware or Hyper-V. Customizable self-service workflows let BYOD and guest users onboard without IT intervention; device checks can direct noncompliant devices to remediation before access is granted. Cloudpath supports WPA2/WPA3-Enterprise with 802.1X authentication and encrypts data in transit between devices and access points. Administrators can define per-user and per-device rules for roles, bandwidth, applications, and private networks using VLANs or VXLANs. The system includes a certificate authority and supports digital certificates and revocable, user-specific Dynamic PSKs. Guest credentials can be sent by email or SMS, or printed as vouchers, and portals can offer social login. Identity sources include Active Directory, LDAP-compatible directories, RADIUS via PAP, Novell, and Google. Subscriptions run for one, three, or five years, with support included; pricing is available on request.

SecureW2 JoinNow is a cloud platform for certificate-based authentication and access enforcement. It brings together Dynamic PKI and Cloud RADIUS, with policies shaped by identity, device posture, and risk signals.

Cloud RADIUS supports passwordless 802.1X authentication using EAP-TLS and is described as fully managed and high availability. MultiOS offers self-service certificate onboarding across iOS, macOS, Windows, Android, Chrome, Linux, and Kindle Fire. Listed integrations include identity providers such as Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, and Google; device tools including Intune and Jamf; and threat tools such as CrowdStrike, Defender, and Palo Alto. Managed-device provisioning APIs include SCEP, JSON, WSTEP, and EST. SecureW2 states that it is ISO 27001 certified and SOC 2 compliant, and that certificates are stored in hardware security modules. Its CertLock technology is described as keeping certificates on their devices. The platform serves education, commercial organizations, government, nonprofits, and MSPs or resellers. Pricing is on request and tailored to organization requirements and device count; the listed model charges per device per year when at least one valid client certificate is used.
