Request a Portnox demo today and discover the many capabilities of our cloud-native zero trust access control and security platform.
Connect your network access layer, configure your access and risk policies, and begin testing.
Most Portnox demos are 30–45 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of your environment. We tailor the session to your needs, so smaller environments may require less time, while larger or more complex deployments may benefit from a deeper discussion and walkthrough.
No. There is no cost to schedule or attend a Portnox demo. It’s completely free and comes with no obligation to purchase. The demo is simply an opportunity to see the platform in action, ask questions, and evaluate whether Portnox fits your organization’s needs.
Before a Portnox demo, come prepared with an overview of your environment (number of users and devices, and key vendors), your current challenges (such as visibility gaps or compliance needs), and the specific use cases you care about like passwordless authentication, BYOD onboarding, or zero trust. It also helps to involve both technical and decision-making stakeholders and have a few key questions ready around integrations, deployment, and pricing.
You’ll get the most value from a Portnox demo by including a mix of technical and decision-making roles. Ideally, invite a network or security engineer who understands your environment, an IT or security leader who owns strategy, and anyone involved in evaluating or approving solutions. This ensures the demo addresses both technical fit and business requirements in one conversation.
Yes. Portnox demos can be tailored to your environment and priorities, whether that’s replacing a legacy NAC like Aruba ClearPass or Cisco ISE, rolling out passwordless authentication, securing a distributed workforce, managing BYOD, or meeting compliance requirements like HIPAA, PCI DSS, or NIST 800-53. Let your Portnox rep know your focus when scheduling.
After the demo, you’ll sync with Portnox engineers to begin a proof of concept (POC) in your own environment. From there, you’ll connect your network access layer, configure your access and risk policies, and begin testing. Once testing is complete, you re-connect with Sales to formalize your subscription and fully deploy.
Yes. A POC is part of the standard demo-to-deployment flow. After the initial demo, Portnox engineers help you configure and test the platform in your own network before you commit to a subscription.
There isn’t a single fixed timeline, but most Portnox POCs are designed to be quick and low friction. Typically, they last about 2–4 weeks, depending on scope. Simpler evaluations, like testing a single use case such as RADIUS or device visibility, can be completed faster, while broader zero trust or NAC scenarios may take longer to validate across your environment.
A demo is a guided walkthrough of Portnox Cloud led by a Portnox expert, typically followed by a POC in your own environment with engineering support. A free trial is self-service, you sign up, verify your domain, and configure Portnox Cloud on your own network for 30 days with full feature access. Choose a demo if you want expert guidance and a structured evaluation path; choose the free trial if you’re ready to get hands-on immediately.
Portnox has worked with many organizations migrating from legacy NAC platforms. The demo can include a walkthrough of how Portnox Cloud differs architecturally from your current solution, what the migration path looks like, and how customers like AbsoluteCare and the PFCU Credit Union approached their transition from ClearPass to Portnox.
