Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Forescout and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."Forescout Platform is stable, it is great."
"The most valuable features of the Forescout Platform are NAC for sharing, Network Access Control, and port sharing of the devices."
"The scalability is good."
"It's one of the tools that has given the federal government visibility into network devices and everything."
"Within three or four days, we have complete visibility of your infrastructure on the network. Compared to other solutions, the deployment of the solution is easier and we can close the project quickly."
"Being able to actively identify the client without a certificate allows you to control every device on your network regardless of the make, model, and software running. This allows for end-to-end security."
"The plugins are very robust -- the ability scanner, patch management system, and SQL integrator."
"The most valuable features are remote access and administration scripts."
"The solution is one of the most, if not the most, stable product available."
"The Auto-Remediate feature is good."
"I find Tenable SC to be a very scalable product."
"The most valuable features in Tenable SC are scanning and analysis."
"It's a very useful tool."
"We really love the Security Center dashboard. It basically performs vulnerability scanning and then outputs a vulnerability data."
"The solution is completely stable and operation is user-friendly."
"Tenable also helps us to focus resources on the vulnerabilities that are most likely to be exploited. And since it is continuously updated, it allows us to reevaluate quickly if there are new vulnerabilities found..."
"The ability to block external devices in Mac is lacking and needs to be added."
"They should improve features related to IT security. ForeScout should analyze behavior to see if the behavior is malicious behavior and block this device. They should develop the ability to analyze the behavior of the device in my environment."
"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."
"Search - needs boolean functionality (or pseudo operand now working)."
"Forescout Platform isn't flexible with connections to devices like printers and forces you to re-enter details like the MAC address after any breakdowns."
"As a user, if I am using a laptop that is Wi-Fi connected, Forescout identifies my port connectivity as one user license, and if I take that same laptop with the same username to a wired network, which is also the same network that is used for the Wi-Fi connection, Forescout detects it as a separate license."
"Forescout needs to upgrade its development in the future."
"Forescout needs to improve its cloud management and remote connectivity."
"Tenable's reporting engine needs improvement. It needs to be more efficient and add more features."
"Tenable.sc's user interface could be improved."
"Certain aspects require manual effort, such as exporting and analyzing data for our dashboards. The built-in components of the Tenable solution are somewhat clumsy that require external tools. So, this is an area of improvement."
"The solution should provide better web application features and support."
"The integration is very good, although it still needs to improve."
"Its reporting can be improved. It is not easy to generate a scan report the way we want. The data is okay, but we can't easily change the template to make it look the way we want."
"The product should provide risk-based vulnerability management."
"The web application is not very functional."
