Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."Forescout Platform has granular features and one of the most impressive features is the agentless feature."
"This solution can be used to organize guest portals, integrate switches, and create policies. Some of its standard use cases also include completing key process upgrades and anti-virus of Windows OS."
"The visibility is the main benefit. We now know how many devices are connected, what the use for each device is and what kind of devices we have in our environment."
"Forescout Platform is stable, it is great."
"It's one of the tools that has given the federal government visibility into network devices and everything."
"The most valuable feature of the Forescout Platform is the large capacity it can handle. Additionally, the interface of the platform is good."
"This is clearly the best product for the NAC use cases in this field for Forescout."
"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 solution is automatically scheduled so it runs by itself."
"The cost is what is most valuable. Compared to the other products on the market, the cost is more palatable."
"The product is scalable."
"It is good and fits well with pretty much all of our use case needs."
"InsightVM's best features are the vulnerability database and remediation steps."
"The main functionality of identifying item endpoints that weren't properly patched or had vulnerabilities is the solution's most valuable feature."
"This solution's most useful feature is that it is entirely a single-page application."
"We feel the interface is very good. It is very easy to use, even a nontechnical person can use it."
"The biggest disadvantage is the pricing."
"Search - needs boolean functionality (or pseudo operand now working)."
"Better integration with third-party vendors is needed because as it is now, the list of third-party solutions that we can integrate and automate is quite limited."
"The system controls could be better."
"Can be expensive if it's only being used for one feature."
"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."
"The reporting feature needs improvement."
"The product needs to improve its support. I know a case that dragged on for about one and a half years. They eventually suggested professional services and closed the ticket. We followed their advice, engaging the account manager and professional service team, only to discover that the issue was a bug. After reopening the case, it's been about six months, and the problem still hasn't been resolved."
"The on-premise updates could improve from Rapid7 InsightVM."
"InsightVM is getting a little stale and is in danger of falling behind its competitors."
"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."
"We found that after you passed an endpoint, it didn't always reflect it in the next scan. I'm not sure if it was a glitch or some issue with the product's software. That was never clear. That was always an issue and something that definitely needed improvement."
"We are a registered reseller and a trusted partner. However, for us to get any support from them I can't log a call directly with Rapid7 InsightVM. I have to work with the distributor to log the call for me."
"I would say that it improved our visibility, but it left things open."
"This solution creates false-positives which can cause issues with reporting."
"One area I would like to improve in InsightVM is its integration with other solutions."
