Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Compliance solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Forescout Platform has made it possible to block people working near our construction sites who should not have access to our network."
"Obtaining visibility into the network and connected devices is very simple with this tool. It takes me three minutes to do a base deployment when all the parameters are available."
"Forescout Platform is stable, it is great."
"It allows for good detection of all the vendor products we have on-site."
"Vulnerability remediation is valuable. We can narrow down a system and its properties. We can go granular on the properties of each endpoint, such as which operating system you're using."
"You can quickly filter your view of devices and zero in on the ones you want using a variety of tools, such as what subnet it is on or what it has been classified as."
"It's one of the tools that has given the federal government visibility into network devices and everything."
"The best parts of Forescout Platform are its orchestration features, discovery capabilities, classification buckets, and flexibility in creating policies."
"The configuration is the most valuable feature."
"From Forticlient, the EMS, the central management is easy to use."
"The ability to reroute traffic from the user, connecting you to the internet rather than passing through our network area, is very useful."
"It is a feature-rich product that is easy to use and install without sacrificing security."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to deploy. Deployment, configuration, and troubleshooting are very easy."
"Fortinet FortiClient's scalability is very good because it has no limitations."
"When the user gets authenticated, I can assign a different VPN or network to each user."
"It seems to be more scalable than we thought."
"They need to handle their Tier 1 cases differently. The biggest negative regarding Forescout is their support. Not having the ability to get instantly transferred to a support engineer for Tier 1 cases is pretty ridiculous."
"Forescout Platform could improve the vulnerability management as well as the control on the endpoint, which needs to be connected to my network."
"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."
"We have found that the agent-based authentication, available within this solution could be improved."
"Definitely, having more third-party integration would be an improvement."
"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 licensing costs are quite high. With the amount of hardware we have, we need too many licenses to make the product effective and it's ultimately just too costly."
"Forescout Platform's technical support is slow to respond and could be more knowledgeable."
"The solution could be more secure. I would like to see more safety features."
"FortiClient is not communicating with the new version of the firewall."
"The memory check needs to be improved, giving better visibility into the run-time memory."
"We do not use the solution every day and there are times when the new users have trouble reconnecting. The technology itself works but our users getting adopted to it is a major problem. Having the user adapt to the desktop landing page that it begins on is throwing them off a bit."
"There is lagging in some of the authentication tools to support the newer versions, this is happening because they are not supported."
"The documentation could be improved."
"We'd like to see a deployment wizard to help implementation become streamlined."
"One area that could be improved is cost, but you've got to pay for what you get."
