We performed a comparison between Forescout Platform and Rapid7 InsightVM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."The best parts of Forescout Platform are its orchestration features, discovery capabilities, classification buckets, and flexibility in creating policies."
"The most valuable feature of the Forescout Platform is the large capacity it can handle. Additionally, the interface of the platform is good."
"The initial setup is quite simple. It's not too complex or difficult to set up."
"This is clearly the best product for the NAC use cases in this field for Forescout."
"It's one of the tools that has given the federal government visibility into network devices and everything."
"The plugins are very robust -- the ability scanner, patch management system, and SQL integrator."
"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 Platform's most valuable features are that it is very granular. We are able to cull out a lot of information about our particular device or endpoint. The configuration and the visibility are very seamless. Overall the solution is very easy to handle and it's very comprehensive."
"NeXpose is a pretty good vulnerability scanner... There's a nice dashboard."
"The cost is what is most valuable. Compared to the other products on the market, the cost is more palatable."
"I liked the dashboard on it. I could customize my dashboard with different widgets and different heat maps."
"Rapid7 have a good distribution network with good support and market presence."
"It's very scalable."
"InsightVM offers a robust platform for identifying, prioritizing, and addressing vulnerabilities across an organization's IT infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is the site scanning, where we can provide a complete subnet and what it is we need to scan on those devices."
"The main functionality of identifying item endpoints that weren't properly patched or had vulnerabilities is the solution's most valuable feature."
"Search - needs boolean functionality (or pseudo operand now working)."
"Forescout needs to improve its cloud management and remote connectivity."
"More detailed analysis during the authentication process, especially for troubleshooting access issues. We have found that troubleshooting RADIUS controls is quite arduous, as it is today. A trace function could easily resolve this by providing a means by which access issues from a certificate to passwords or accounts could easily be identified and remediated."
"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 does have a bit of complexity, and there's some complexity in the deployment. Users need to be trained before undertaking an initial setup."
"It does not support the TACACS+ protocol."
"The fact that Forescout Platform doesn't have a presence in the South African region is a weakness because of which you can't ask for help from them if you have any problems."
"Forescout Platform could improve the vulnerability management as well as the control on the endpoint, which needs to be connected to my network."
"The solution should include a tighter integration with third-party threat modeling and threat intelligence tools."
"They should integrate the solution with multiple products."
"Rapid7 InsightVM could be easier to use for those who are using it for the first time."
"The integration with other solutions like JIRA could be better. Perhaps there could be some additional updates in the next phase that could integrate with it, so then you can proceed with the VT much easier."
"We'd like the agent to cover more compliance issues."
"Reporting could be expanded."
"A definite improvement would be to make it easier to run ad-hoc scans without needing to assign the asset to a site or group."
"The team needs to improve the speed and focus on the new bandwidth feed. Sometimes, it takes a while to scan, especially with new updates."
