I am also on the lookout for a new NAC solution.
We were promised by Cisco that the "sign off" bug would be fixed four years ago, and its only been fixed in 4.8 BUT
we are running 3140's and they may or may not support 4.8 depending on my configuration, and so far Cisco hasn't been able to answer that question.
Unfortunately Bradford does not have an Australian agent let alone a local agent here and I really don't want to be caught in off shore support (again).... sigh
My best candidate at the moment is the Enterasys solution, it does out of band 802.1X and lets me use non Cisco or Enterasys edge switches.
Does anyone have any comments about the Enterasys solution?

Welcome to the group...I have done exactly the same thing about a year ago. I have been looking for a replacement that fits in our environment ever since. I have done approx 1/2 a dozen or so pilots on different products, and I would recommend that you look at Bradford Network as your move forward.

Well after five years of struggling to make Clean Access work in our
Active Directory environment I walked in this morning and nobody could
log in. The Single sign on service had quit and would not restart, not
even after a reboot. That did it for me. I uninstalled it from all my
switches and have turned the servers OFF. Forever.  Just too buggy.
Done. Finito.

I would like to thank all the people on this list for their help over
the years and wish you all luck with this system. I sure didn't have
any.
