It solved our need for a 100% cloud-based solution to securing Wi-Fi for our customers. We will continue to encourage our clients to deploy this solution. Pros Easy to implement, great customer service, and fully SaaS based solution to improving our client's wireless security with 802.1X based certificate Wi-Fi. Cons Their product documentation could be better. It needs to be updated a bit and could go into more depth.

The system has very good up time where we have yet to experience down time with our wireless network. And, they are very responsive when we reach out to them. Pros Integrated well with MS Intune and Okta, a very stable platform, and support tends to be very responsive. Cons They need to have an additional instance in the US East. They do though have instances in the US West and in Europe which is satisfactory.

November 1, 2024 2.0 If I had the chance to choose again, I would choose a RADIUS auth vendor that used Unique Identifiers for endpoints and could automatically remediate license issues. Pros It scales well. No issue with adding more devices. Cons Integration is lackluster. Documentation is bad. Review Source ST Shamyog T. Senior IT Engineer Biotechnology Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Secured, complex but easy access to the Wi-Fi on endpoints devices." June 4, 2025 4.0 Since implementing the SEcureW2 RADIUS Server with cloud PKI, our devices have connected seamlessly to the Wi-Fi without any issues. The system enables us to identify devices with company issued certificates and manage Wi-Fi access through the dashboard, which also allows us to review logs to ensure unauthorized devices are not granted access. Pros It delivers seamless Wi-Fi access to corporate devices with robust security, achieved through integration with other tools like Intune, Meraki, etc. Cons Its complex architecture makes self-configuration challenging without thoroughly reviewing the knowledge base or seeking support from the vendor.

The onboarding engineer was very knowledgeable with the product was able to answer all of our detailed technical questions quickly. We were deploying certificates to our devices within the first day and has become a set it and forget it tool for us. Pros SecureW2 works as expected and has mostly become a set it and forget it solution for us. We use SecureW2 for wireless and wired 802.1x authentication which greatly increased our network security posture and allowed us to eliminate corporate wireless passwords for all of our office locations. Cons The reporting is unintuitive. I needed to open a support request in order to extract the data that I needed. The team responded quickly and was able to help me. Alternatives considered [Microsoft Intune](https://www.capterra.com/p/230703/Microsoft-Endpoint-Manager-MEM/) Reason for choosing SecureW2 JoinNow Platform SecureW2 has excellent support and customer service that Microsoft cannot compete with.

It's a simple cost effective piece of software that I don't need to think about. Pros As simple as 1, 2, 3, presto. A simple point and click certificate based authorisation system that you could simply push out via your intune and Azure portals. We don't need to baby sit the service and essentially let it run autonomously for 12 months at a time without having to change a thing. Cons Manging multiple tenants/configurations is a bit clunky, but works and is getting better all the time Alternatives considered [Portnox CLEAR](https://www.capterra.com/p/196544/Portnox-CLEAR/) Reason for choosing SecureW2 JoinNow Platform The cost to get running was significantly cheaper than Portnox Review Source DN David N.

When we added another MDM platform and new office site, their support was able to assist us and get everything working as expected. The platform overall works well if RADIUS authentication is your end goal and their support is fantastic. Pros The solution works and is compatabile with Windows and macOS devices. Deployment is easy and can be configured to work with most MDM platforms such as Intune, JAMF, or Kandji. Support if needed is excellent as well. Cons The administration portal seems a little outdated and could use a refresh. The device authentication history/event log could be a little easier to parse through and have some additional filters.

Pros With their PKI services, JoinNow is a turnkey approach that unifies the onboarding of both BYOD and institution owned devices to campus wifi.

It’s a reliable, secure solution that has saved us time and effort. Once it’s set up, it just works in the background, which is exactly what we needed. I’d recommend it to anyone looking to boost network security. Pros What stands out most is the level of security JoinNow Cloud RADIUS provides. Using certificate-based authentication has made network access control much easier for us, and it’s perfect for our zero-trust setup. Another plus is how well it integrates with our existing systems, which makes it a flexible solution. Cons Setting everything up initially was challenging, especially without much experience, so their guidance was a big help. The admin portal could also be more modern and user-friendly, and it would be great if the reporting tools were a bit easier to work with for tracking licenses and stale devices.
