"Ease of deployment There's a great support team that becomes actively engaged whenever we encounter issues. Their technical support is amazing. Good documentation is available. The product is stable. The solution is highly scalable. I recommend using the solution because it gives verified control over the environment. It has a great visibility feature."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment, which does not require the use of an agent."
"Forescout Platform's best feature is plug-in integration."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is very lightweight."
"The Vulnerability Management and Patch Management features are the most valuable features of this solution."

"Qualys VM's best features are vulnerability management and customizable scoring."
"We also like the flexibility in their licensing."
"The most valuable feature of Qualys Container Security is the detailed information in the reports and the remediation. This is done to make sure there are no vulnerabilities."
"What I like about Qualys VM is the dashboard presentation. It's very good."
"The reporting functionality is great."
"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 could always improve by adding more features to make it more robust."
"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."
"I believe that the overall user experience has not always been preferable."
"Definitely, having more third-party integration would be an improvement."
"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."
"Better integration with third-party vendors is needed because as it is now, the list of third-party solutions that we can integrate and automate is quite limited."
"Forescout Platform sometimes returns false positives, so there's some fine-tuning to be done there."
"Finding things in management can be quite difficult."
"The only improvement I can think of is on the implementation side. At times it is a bit slow."
"I do not like that all of the data is stored on the cloud."
"Reports were lacking somewhat on the customization side."
"We are moving away from Qualys to Defender ATP because I find that Defender ATP is much better at prioritizing the vulnerabilities that I should be looking at."
"They have integrated with other third parties, but it is still not viable."
"Qualys could improve the inbuilt dashboards."
"I would like to see more accuracy in detections, better reporting capabilities, and better dashboard download capabilities."
