"The most valuable features of the Forescout Platform are NAC for sharing, Network Access Control, and port sharing of the devices."
"The initial setup is easy, taking no more than two or three weeks."
"Forescout CounterACT has allowed us to better open our access and control wireless access globally from our HQ. This allows us to monitor the network access for every office globally. This has improved overall security, reducing risk and opening up the opportunity to provide greater end user flexibility."
"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."
"This is clearly the best product for the NAC use cases in this field for Forescout."
"The initial setup is quite simple. It's not too complex or difficult to set up."
"The user management has been very easy for the most part."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."
"Intune device restriction policies enable me to enforce limitations on the device, like blocking the mobile camera or restricting the employees from using and inserting USB devices, including thumb drives and flash drives."
"We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere."
"It is a stable solution."
"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
"If you need only to load a specific profile and you don't have deep security functionalities, et cetera, Intune is very nice and good."
"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."
"Custom integrations need to be better."
"For the user, the policy that they have implemented sometimes needs adjustments. Sometimes the features that the customer asks for aren't involved in the main installation, and I need to bolt an add-on in. However, I never know if this policy is the right one when I do this."
"In the next release of the solution, it could benefit from being more flexible to allow for more freedom."
"The biggest disadvantage is the pricing."
"This solution is not that easy to scale but this depends on a company's needs."
"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 initial setup is a bit complex."
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."
"Intune's areas for improvement revolve around security and certificate management."
"There are some issues using the solution with macOS and iOS, and it offers limited granular control with them. Intune works better on Windows and Android."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
