Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."This is clearly the best product for the NAC use cases in this field for Forescout."
"I have noticed that in the last year the license model has changed from licensing the whole appliance to licensing the number of devices. It's more simple for a large installation, or a user to have CounterACT as their peripheral site in the company. It's a good choice to have changed the license policy."
"We think it's simple. We think it's very useful and we really like reports and everything."
"The initial setup is quite simple. It's not too complex or difficult to set up."
"Forescout Platform has granular features and one of the most impressive features is the agentless feature."
"The most valuable features of the Forescout Platform are ease of management and outstanding visibility. The visibility is simple to obtain."
"The product is very easy to work with and easy to deploy."
"Vulnerability remediation is valuable. We can narrow down a system and its properties. We can go granular on the properties of each endpoint, such as which operating system you're using."
"It's very informative when there is an error. It allows us to backtrace where the error is and resolve that ourselves. It's a bit of a Swiss Army penknife. We find that it fixes most issues."
"It is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"Intune's unified endpoint management platform is invaluable."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions."
"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"Stable solution at a good price."
"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 biggest disadvantage is the pricing."
"The ability to block external devices in Mac is lacking and needs to be added."
"Forescout Platform could improve the vulnerability management as well as the control on the endpoint, which needs to be connected to my network."
"Two things can be improved in the Forescout Platform. First of all, the support for some certain proprietary protocols from other vendors, but they are very widely used. If the TechEx from Cisco, was added to Forescout, then it will be a full solution for me."
"It's scalable, but not without a big investment. It doesn't do so well at the branch. At the home office, it does okay and not so well at the branch."
"The reporting feature needs improvement."
"Forescout Platform needs to improve how the device works in preventing rogue servers."
"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"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."
"Areas for improvement in Intune include expanding support beyond Samsung devices to accommodate other Android manufacturers like Redmi and Motorola."
"Cost is the biggest factor for us right now. Microsoft Intune and AD P1 together in a bundle is a good thing to have, but it is very costly compared to other products in the market. Otherwise, Microsoft Intune is the best."
"Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
