Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."The most valuable feature is the blocking of USB devices."
"The plugins are very robust -- the ability scanner, patch management system, and SQL integrator."
"The threat prevention feature provides complete visibility."
"Being able to sort on device types or devices with open ports is helpful when narrowing down assets of possible misconfigured devices that may be vulnerable on the network. We can take action on those devices based off of corporate policy."
"You can quickly filter your view of devices and zero in on the ones you want using a variety of tools, such as what subnet it is on or what it has been classified as."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the Forescout Platform it's highly customizable and flexible."
"The assessment is most valuable."
"Rapid7 have a good distribution network with good support and market presence."
"The solution is very user friendly and easy to manage."
"Rapid7 InsightVM has given us a practical view of the vulnerabilities present in our organization."
"The most valuable features of Rapid7 InsightVM are the accurate level of scanning and the workflows are good."
"When it comes to the process, installation is very easy and does not take long."
"It's a relevant management tool."
"It's very scalable."
"In the next release of the solution, it could benefit from being more flexible to allow for more freedom."
"Search - needs boolean functionality (or pseudo operand now working)."
"I should be able to integrate my Forescout with any other third party security technology, to build that connected security strategy."
"The solution needs more definitive pricing. The costs are hard to nail down."
"Forescout Platform could improve the vulnerability management as well as the control on the endpoint, which needs to be connected to my network."
"This solution is not that easy to scale but this depends on a company's needs."
"Other solutions have TACACS+, but Forescout does not. In the next release, I would like to see Forescout have accounting."
"The solution's customer support is bad and should be improved."
"There needs to be much clearer instructions surrounding scanning."
"We have some issues with how it scans patches."
"Rapid7 InsightVM could be easier to use for those who are using it for the first time."
"Patch management is the only missing feature I can think of. Rapid7 detects vulnerabilities, but it should also help you manage patches."
"It is still not a fully cloud-based solution. It will be helpful for customers if it is a complete cloud solution. It is a hybrid solution at the moment."
"The reporting is a little bit tricky because it can be difficult to exactly pinpoint some of the assets to filter them and generate a report."
"The product does not have the capability to do dynamic scanning of non-web applications."
"Within InsightVM, there is no feature to assign a ticket. If we can have more API calls, we can do that from InsightVM."
