Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."Within three or four days, we have complete visibility of your infrastructure on the network. Compared to other solutions, the deployment of the solution is easier and we can close the project quickly."
"Forescout Platform has made it possible to block people working near our construction sites who should not have access to our network."
"Its feature that I have found most valuable is that it is very granular. You can configure granular controls just as you want those policies to be implemented. It gives you that flexibility to go granular in how you want your controls to be implemented. That's something I like about it."
"The user interface is quite simple."
"The plugins are very robust -- the ability scanner, patch management system, and SQL integrator."
"Being able to actively identify the client without a certificate allows you to control every device on your network regardless of the make, model, and software running. This allows for end-to-end security."
"It's one of the tools that has given the federal government visibility into network devices and everything."
"Provides a good overview of all devices on a network."
"Support is knowledgeable."
"The most valuable features of Tenable SC are scanning, reporting, dashboards, and automation."
"The product is our second solution, and we are happy that it meets our requirements."
"Tenable's most valuable features are the credential scan, vulnerability reports, and vulnerability ratings (VPR)."
"The most valuable features in Tenable SC are scanning and analysis."
"The tool gives us fewer false positives. Compared to its competitors, the solution’s reports are more accurate."
"Compared to other products, the most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and ability to provide visibility over scan results while providing many templates to users, making it a helpful tool."
"Tenable SC is good for reporting and alerting. The filtering feature is also very valuable. Its integration with multiple vendors is quite good. It can be integrated with SIEM solutions and PAM solutions such as Thycotic, which is very helpful."
"Forescout needs to improve its cloud management and remote connectivity."
"Forescout Platform needs to improve how the device works in preventing rogue servers."
"Forescout Platform isn't flexible with connections to devices like printers and forces you to re-enter details like the MAC address after any breakdowns."
"The reporting feature needs improvement."
"The biggest disadvantage is the pricing."
"Forescout Platform sometimes returns false positives, so there's some fine-tuning to be done there."
"Multitenancy should be included in the next version so it could be used as a managed service provider."
"The solution needs more definitive pricing. The costs are hard to nail down."
"The solution should provide better web application features and support."
"Additional costs are associated with using the solution, as additional scanners are required for different endpoints connected to the Tenable Security Center. If Tenable Security Center could extract information from these scanners automatically rather than manually, it would enhance user-friendliness for customers."
"Tenable SC could be improved with additional connectivity to external company postures and the capability of managing and sustaining agents in the systems directly without additional platforms in the middle."
"The solution's user interface has some issues."
"Though the solution's technical support is responsive, they do take a lot of time, making it one of the solution's shortcomings that needs improvement."
"Current web page needs improvement, slows down processes."
