Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."It's one of the tools that has given the federal government visibility into network devices and everything."
"I can integrate Forescout with products from multiple vendors in my environment, and also, the integration is searchable. It can be used with 802.1X and non-802.1X to integrate with my existing network. I don't need to upgrade any existing networks in my system, and I don't need to replace existing devices to integrate with Forescout. I find value in not having to spend money upgrading existing devices and networks."
"Forescout is easy to integrate with a lot of end systems."
"It allows for good detection of all the vendor products we have on-site."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment, which does not require the use of an agent."
"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."
"Forescout Platform is stable, it is great."
"The product is very easy to work with and easy to deploy."
"Users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS."
"One of the standout features of Intune is its seamless accessibility to work data, eliminating the need to be tied to an office or a desktop."
"Great for software update needs, operating system version updates, and security policy enforcement."
"The ability to wipe data from and reset devices is one of the most important and valuable features. If a device is reported stolen, we can freeze it or wipe the data from it, preventing data leakage."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune."
"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."
"The policy and compliance monitoring of devices and the software deployment are most valuable."
"The solution could always improve by adding more features to make it more robust."
"The reporting feature needs improvement."
"Logging would be one area for improvement. When we're troubleshooting, there are not a lot of clear things on Google that we can look up for ourselves. When we have an issue with it, we have to call the company to get the vendors involved. The logging of Forescout is horrible compared to other things that we've used."
"The solution's customer support is bad and should be improved."
"We experienced some detection issues when checking compliance for the Sophos agent."
"They should improve features related to IT security. ForeScout should analyze behavior to see if the behavior is malicious behavior and block this device. They should develop the ability to analyze the behavior of the device in my environment."
"When we automate an email to send to a user, sometimes it gets blocked, but that has nothing to do with Forescout. It depends on the mail gateway that we use or integrate with."
"The installation is not secure because it takes high admin privileges."
"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."
"It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy. I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise."
"The UI is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."
"It would be helpful if there was proactive remediation."
