Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Forescout and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."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."
"The most valuable feature of the Forescout Platform it's highly customizable and flexible."
"The most valuable feature of Forescout Platform is that it has everything that Aruba has at significantly less cost."
"The user interface is quite simple."
"The 802.1X compliance authentication feature of this solution is very good."
"The interface is easy to use."
"We think it's simple. We think it's very useful and we really like reports and everything."
"It has helped with improving our security posture in terms of controlling the access of rogue devices into our network through identification. We have been able to prevent rogue device activities on the network, check the health of the system, and ensure remediation."
"We mainly implemented UserLock for multi-factor authentication, but the user login insights are also nice."
"The most valuable features are two-factor authentication and real-time logon monitoring."
"This solution is not that easy to scale but this depends on a company's needs."
"Definitely, having more third-party integration would be an improvement."
"In the next release of the solution, it could benefit from being more flexible to allow for more freedom."
"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."
"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."
"The installation is not secure because it takes high admin privileges."
"The solution could always improve by adding more features to make it more robust."
"Forescout Platform needs to improve how the device works in preventing rogue servers."
"I would like to see UserLock add the ability to automatically create a group policy in Active Directory. That might streamline the setup process."
"The product and service are already great as it is but if I could add one feature, I guess it would be nice to have another factor of authentication (two additional factors) like your phone and a token for example, for when people forget their phone at home."
