We performed a comparison between Forescout Platform and Microsoft Intune based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."The most valuable features of ForeScout is the fact that it can do network access control either with 802.1x or without 802.1x."
"The most valuable features of the Forescout Platform are NAC for sharing, Network Access Control, and port sharing of the devices."
"The user management has been very easy for the most part."
"The most valuable feature of Forescout Platform is that it has everything that Aruba has at significantly less cost."
"The 802.1X compliance authentication feature of this solution is very good."
"Emergency response, risk assessment information to get a view of the of the vulnerability."
"The most valuable feature of the Forescout Platform is the large capacity it can handle. Additionally, the interface of the platform is good."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment, which does not require the use of an agent."
"We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera"
"The standout features of Intune are its excellent mobile device management and highly effective application management capabilities."
"It is a comprehensive security solution that not only controls access to enterprise resources but also tracks and prevents unauthorized access, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and preventing potential data loss scenarios."
"The solution is easy to use and it has good performance."
"We have not experienced any bugs or glitches with this solution."
"We have one MDM that works with Windows, iOS, and Android."
"We can securely manage both company-owned devices and personal devices enrolled in our BYOD program."
"A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution."
"They need to handle their Tier 1 cases differently. The biggest negative regarding Forescout is their support. Not having the ability to get instantly transferred to a support engineer for Tier 1 cases is pretty ridiculous."
"Forescout Platform could improve the vulnerability management as well as the control on the endpoint, which needs to be connected to my network."
"In the next release of the solution, it could benefit from being more flexible to allow for more freedom."
"The cost is too high."
"Initially, the implementation of the Forescout Platform took some time to figure out. The reason is we are a manufacturing unit and we have certain silos that are insulated areas where certain systems will not connect to the internet or to the LAN. Since there are many parts of it, we have to have an inclusive view of all those systems. It took a while for us to initially implement, but after a few months, everything worked well."
"The solution needs more definitive pricing. The costs are hard to nail down."
"The fact that Forescout Platform doesn't have a presence in the South African region is a weakness because of which you can't ask for help from them if you have any problems."
"Forescout needs to improve its cloud management and remote connectivity."
"It would be better if they can reduce the cost of the license."
"I would like to see micro VPN. I like the way that some of the other providers have done something similar where, as you open that app on an end-point device, it creates a micro VPN straight into your device, which is quite a nice little feature. Also, Microsoft Intune relies heavily on its fellow products in the suite. It would be nice if Microsoft Intune could stand on its own two feet."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."
"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer. You have to ask them a lot of questions. So, its initial deployment is the biggest challenge. They should make it easier to deploy with the use of Wizards or something else. During the deployment stage, there could be profiles for the customers who are particularly wanting to use certain feature sets of Intune."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"Onboarding of endpoint devices is not straightforward. The onboarding process was a little heavier than I thought it would be. That's the key improvement area. Obviously, the more control you have over the devices, the better it is."
"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users."
