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."
"This is clearly the best product for the NAC use cases in this field for Forescout."
"The user interface is quite simple."
"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."
"The most valuable features are remote access and administration scripts."
"The 802.1X compliance authentication feature of this solution is very good."
"The actions that the agentless visibility, allow us to perform on the endpoint, are really amazing, especially in the way that it is done."
"This solution is very easy to use and easy to install."
"The most valuable feature is the vulnerability scan."
"The product is scalable."
"I have been in contact with technical support and they are not bad."
"InsightVM offers a robust platform for identifying, prioritizing, and addressing vulnerabilities across an organization's IT infrastructure."
"I rate InsightVM eight out of 10 for ease of setup. It takes two or three engineers to deploy. The solution requires some maintenance. It's mainly cleaning up data."
"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."
"I like Rapid7's scan optimization options."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"We have found that the agent-based authentication, available within this solution could be improved."
"The solution could always improve by adding more features to make it more robust."
"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."
"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."
"Forescout Platform could improve the costs of integrations."
"The biggest disadvantage is the pricing."
"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."
"Patch management is the only missing feature I can think of. Rapid7 detects vulnerabilities, but it should also help you manage patches."
"It is still not a fully cloud-based solution. It will be helpful for customers if it is a complete cloud solution. It is a hybrid solution at the moment."
"Rapid7 could be easier to manage."
"InsightVM could be improved by providing passive scanning as an option."
"Reporting could be expanded."
"The reporting is very bad when you compare it with other vulnerability assessment tools."
"This solution creates false-positives which can cause issues with reporting."
"In order to be able to properly test the solution and make a decision, I would like to receive the test license code instantly and eliminate the wait time."
