We performed a comparison between Forescout Platform, Fortinet FortiNAC, and Portnox CORE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Forescout and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."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."
"The interface is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Forescout Platform is that it has everything that Aruba has at significantly less cost."
"Emergency response, risk assessment information to get a view of the of the vulnerability."
"The user management has been very easy for the most part."
"We really like that we get full visibility of devices in the local network."
"The product is very easy to work with and easy to deploy."
"The best parts of Forescout Platform are its orchestration features, discovery capabilities, classification buckets, and flexibility in creating policies."
"The ease of deployment is valuable."
"Fortinet FortiNAC is both scalable and stable."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiNAC is compliance, which we can do with the clients and the endpoints on the network."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiNAC are access control, automation, artificial intelligence, analysis, and security, and it is a unified solution. You can combine a lot of features within the solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the user-friendliness, the graphical interface, and the technical support. The interface is very nice and the customization is good."
"FortiNAC has enhanced our network visibility because FortiNAC monitors MAC addresses and other network devices, like Cisco, Catalyst, or HPE switches."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is having visibility over the IoT devices on the network."
"Compared to other NAC vendors, Fortinet’s user interface is more user-friendly."
"The product is a valuable solution within zero-trust architecture, enhancing network security and visibility."
"The most important feature is that this solution is agentless. So, you don't have to install any agents on endpoints."
"It's agentless, and it's scalable."
"The technical support is top-notch."
"There is an add-on feature for application control to kill unwanted applications when launched on a user's device."
"Technical support was very helpful when we needed them."
"This is a self-sufficient network monitoring and security product that saves time and employee resources."
"It's so easy to set up, you don't need outside assistance."
"The solution needs more definitive pricing. The costs are hard to nail down."
"Can be expensive if it's only being used for one feature."
"It's scalable, but not without a big investment. It doesn't do so well at the branch. At the home office, it does okay and not so well at the branch."
"If older network devices are used there can be some compatibility issues while using the Forescout Platform. Additionally, if the switches that are deployed in your infrastructure are not captured properly to the endpoints there might be some difficulties with Forescout Platform trying to monitor the network traffic. Traffic management is an area the vendor should work on."
"Other solutions have TACACS+, but Forescout does not. In the next release, I would like to see Forescout have accounting."
"When we automate an email to send to a user, sometimes it gets blocked, but that has nothing to do with Forescout. It depends on the mail gateway that we use or integrate with."
"Forescout Platform needs to improve how the device works in preventing rogue servers."
"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 training from Fortinet FortiNAC could improve. Fortinet has to plan for better training for its partners. Additionally, device management should have more integration with other devices, such as new and third-party devices."
"They need to change or upgrade the technology in the product."
"There could be better integration with legacy equipment. It integrates perfectly with all Fortinet solutions, but if you look at other third-party integrations—not on the networking part; but more on the security infrastructure part—it's more limited."
"For our organization and our clients, the price is the main concern. They should work to make it more competitive."
"The response and resolution time for technical support issues need to be improved."
"Fortinet's local support could be improved."
"I hope that Fortinet can add a feature with a remediation mechanism when you find a broken piece so that you can click on something and download the needed update or resolve the firewall issue more easily. Currently, we have to use an external remediation server to download updates."
"The automation in Fortinet FortiNAC could improve."
"It would be good to integrate Portnox CORE with CLEAR."
"It might be beneficial to improve the ease of integrating the product with firewalls."
"It could be a little cheaper."
"We have been having some issues with it. That's why we're considering migrating to Portnox Clear due to some limitations with CORE."
"Portnox CORE can improve on support for unmanaged switches (or hubs) and other brands of network devices. These kinds of devices are still in use in organisations, especially SMEs who cannot afford to buy a managed switch."
"One of the things for the on-premise is that sometimes you click on it and it takes a while for it to respond."
"The solution did have some stability issues, however, all I had to do was restart it."
"The price could be better."
