We performed a comparison between Forescout Platform and Portnox CORE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Access Control (NAC) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"The most valuable feature is the blocking of USB devices."
"Forescout Platform has made it possible to block people working near our construction sites who should not have access to our network."
"The most valuable feature of the Forescout Platform is the large capacity it can handle. Additionally, the interface of the platform is good."
"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 user management has been very easy for the most part."
"Emergency response, risk assessment information to get a view of the of the vulnerability."
"Ease of deployment There's a great support team that becomes actively engaged whenever we encounter issues. Their technical support is amazing. Good documentation is available. The product is stable. The solution is highly scalable. I recommend using the solution because it gives verified control over the environment. It has a great visibility feature."
"Previous to the deployment we didn't have complete visibility of all the endpoints, all the devices that are connected to the network. But with the deployment of portnox, we could see all the devices and where they're connecting. We can equally segregate and apply different rules, policies to each location that we didn't monitor specifically."
"This is a self-sufficient network monitoring and security product that saves time and employee resources."
"There is an add-on feature for application control to kill unwanted applications when launched on a user's device."
"The technical support is top-notch."
"It's a stable product."
"The most important feature is that this solution is agentless. So, you don't have to install any agents on endpoints."
"The product is a valuable solution within zero-trust architecture, enhancing network security and visibility."
"Technical support was very helpful when we needed them."
"This solution is not that easy to scale but this depends on a company's needs."
"I should be able to integrate my Forescout with any other third party security technology, to build that connected security strategy."
"Forescout Platform could improve the integration or compatibility with other solutions, such as Chinese-made solutions. They do not have any integration with S33 which is a switch. They do not have good integration with new solutions in the market. They do integrate well with Rocket, Cisco, Juniper, and quite a few more but they could expand the integration."
"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."
"The cost is too high."
"When adding what is in scope to a policy, it would be nice if you could select multiple policies instead of one policy at a time to add what is in the scope for network segmentation. I have found that during the install and configuration of the policies that if you want to modify multiple policies or enable multiple policies that you need to define what is in the scope (IP range or segments) one rule at a time. This caused some slow downs when implementing policies."
"In the next release of the solution, it could benefit from being more flexible to allow for more freedom."
"Forescout needs to improve its cloud management and remote connectivity."
"It would be good to integrate Portnox CORE with CLEAR."
"The price could be better."
"The solution did have some stability issues, however, all I had to do was restart it."
"The licensing is based on a per-port price, even when you are not using all of the ports, and this is something that could be improved."
"It could be a little cheaper."
"Now, the way security is viewed, maybe including something like AI, to automate some of the things that are required to be done would be great."
"We have been having some issues with it. That's why we're considering migrating to Portnox Clear due to some limitations with CORE."
"The product should consider more integration with vendors like Huawei. It should also improve visibility. The solution should offer a partner portal that can provide customers training on the in and out of the solution."
