The only competitors we've been able to find in the past involves purchasing and deploying supplicants for each client.
Why not just use the CloudPath product itself? The other competitors are the OS companies, ie Apple and Microsoft. They seem to be getting better and better at figuring out how to auto-config when they first connect to the network.

However, in searching I have been unable to determine if there are any vendors offering a similar service. Does anyone know of a competitor to CloudPath in this area? Our current options are 1) writing our own application + all of the benefits and drawbacks that go with a homegrown solution, and 2) a vendor supported tool to configure client's machines. Any suggestions or alternatives are welcome.
