Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."The most valuable feature of Forescout Platform is that it has everything that Aruba has at significantly less cost."
"The product is very easy to work with and easy to deploy."
"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."
"The interface is easy to use."
"It has helped with improving our security posture in terms of controlling the access of rogue devices into our network through identification. We have been able to prevent rogue device activities on the network, check the health of the system, and ensure remediation."
"Forescout Platform has made it possible to block people working near our construction sites who should not have access to our network."
"Provides a good overview of all devices on a network."
"The ease of deployment and configuration allows users to onboard quickly."
"I have been in contact with technical support and they are not bad."
"I liked the dashboard on it. I could customize my dashboard with different widgets and different heat maps."
"This solution's most useful feature is that it is entirely a single-page application."
"Rapid7 have a good distribution network with good support and market presence."
"NeXpose is a pretty good vulnerability scanner... There's a nice dashboard."
"The most valuable feature is the vulnerability scan."
"The remediation project is a pretty effective because it allows us, as clients or countries, to choose specific assets and set limitations on them for a certain period which allows us to track and follow up on those limitations. However, when it comes to real-time monitoring and live dashboards, InsightVM doesn't quite fit the bill. It's not a real-time solution and is not instant."
"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."
"The ability to block external devices in Mac is lacking and needs to be added."
"Forescout Platform's technical support is slow to respond and could be more knowledgeable."
"The biggest disadvantage is the pricing."
"As a product, there is nothing to complain about. However, they should improve their overall support. You need that level of knowledge, that level of information is clearly not available. First and foremost, that information is not accessible. The second point to mention is that once you purchase the later support and services. That is, they will continue to charge you for every service."
"The system controls could be better."
"Custom integrations need to be better."
"Forescout Platform could improve the integration or compatibility with other solutions, such as Chinese-made solutions. They do not have any integration with S33 which is a switch. They do not have good integration with new solutions in the market. They do integrate well with Rocket, Cisco, Juniper, and quite a few more but they could expand the integration."
"I would like to see more integration."
"They should improve the cybersecurity feature of the solution."
"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."
"The on-premise updates could improve from Rapid7 InsightVM."
"It would be great to have a mobile application client. Currently, you have to use a mobile web browser on a device, but it is not similar to the desktop web browser in terms of user experience. It would be nice to have a mobile application to access the platform."
"We have some issues with how it scans patches."
"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."
"Rapid7 InsightVM could be easier to use for those who are using it for the first time."
