Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."The initial setup is easy, taking no more than two or three weeks."
"The most valuable feature is the blocking of USB devices."
"We think it's simple. We think it's very useful and we really like reports and everything."
"The best parts of Forescout Platform are its orchestration features, discovery capabilities, classification buckets, and flexibility in creating policies."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment, which does not require the use of an agent."
"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 it's highly customizable and flexible."
"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."
"When you connect any new device to the network, Rapid7 has the ability to detect the new device immediately. It can scan that device to detect if it has any vulnerability. It tells you what is vulnerable and what has been misconfigured. It also tells you what is the risk of that misconfiguration or lack of patches and how to resolve the problem."
"The most valuable feature for me is the risk calculation based on monthly effects."
"When it comes to the process, installation is very easy and does not take long."
"It is good and fits well with pretty much all of our use case needs."
"This solution's most useful feature is that it is entirely a single-page application."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its dashboards."
"We are very satisfied with the reports, as they provide us with the information that is required for our management."
"The most valuable feature for us is the different types of reporting it provides."
"Forescout Platform sometimes returns false positives, so there's some fine-tuning to be done there."
"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."
"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."
"Forescout Platform's technical support is slow to respond and could be more knowledgeable."
"Initially, the implementation of the Forescout Platform took some time to figure out. The reason is we are a manufacturing unit and we have certain silos that are insulated areas where certain systems will not connect to the internet or to the LAN. Since there are many parts of it, we have to have an inclusive view of all those systems. It took a while for us to initially implement, but after a few months, everything worked well."
"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 biggest disadvantage is the pricing."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"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."
"We have some issues with how it scans patches."
"There is room for improvement on its cloud side. In the next release I would like to see better reporting."
"There needs to be much clearer instructions surrounding scanning."
"Some of our customers want to be completely cloud based, and Rapid7 doesn't offer this as an option."
"The solution could improve by being more secure."
"It would be nice to have an additional feature that would provide reports on who has logged onto the console or who did what on the console."
"The solution should include a tighter integration with third-party threat modeling and threat intelligence tools."
