We performed a comparison between Forescout Platform and Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The most valuable feature of the Forescout Platform it's highly customizable and flexible."
"Being able to sort on device types or devices with open ports is helpful when narrowing down assets of possible misconfigured devices that may be vulnerable on the network. We can take action on those devices based off of corporate policy."
"Being able to actively identify the client without a certificate allows you to control every device on your network regardless of the make, model, and software running. This allows for end-to-end security."
"It's one of the tools that has given the federal government visibility into network devices and everything."
"The plugins are very robust -- the ability scanner, patch management system, and SQL integrator."
"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."
"This is clearly the best product for the NAC use cases in this field for Forescout."
"The most valuable features are remote access and administration scripts."
"It is an effective solution. It provides a wide range of security and defense features."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the firewall, the IPS, and the patch deployment."
"The interface is really good. It's nice and simple."
"First of all, I like that it's perfect against malware threats and behavior analysis along with signature analysis. That's the key point for me."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business detects malware and is easy to configure."
"The product can scale if you need it to."
"Endpoint Security's most valuable feature is its heuristic analysis. This heuristic approach means that it learns from its past experiences. It is the most valuable feature they have. This contributes to dealing with ransomware, detection, and early mitigation actions."
"The tool's interface is good."
"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."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The product needs to improve its support. I know a case that dragged on for about one and a half years. They eventually suggested professional services and closed the ticket. We followed their advice, engaging the account manager and professional service team, only to discover that the issue was a bug. After reopening the case, it's been about six months, and the problem still hasn't been resolved."
"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 system controls could be better."
"This solution is not that easy to scale but this depends on a company's needs."
"Multitenancy should be included in the next version so it could be used as a managed service provider."
"The reporting feature needs improvement."
"The solution could improve by providing a cloud service that synchronizes with the on-premise console which would give better connectivity in remote areas."
"We would like to see improved performance and faster deployment in the next release."
"Maybe the solution's monitoring could be improved with more dashboards, so there's no back and forth, back and forth."
"The solution could improve by having some integration with other vendors."
"We are having some troubles because some American companies we work with don't want to work with Kaspersky."
"It slows down the system sometimes, and it has the occasional false positive where it deems something a virus when it isn't."
"A big improvement would be allowing us to reconfigure the agents and change what to whitelist for a specific user. If the user is not happy with the configuration and is being blocked from certain sites, we should be able to reconfigure the monitoring mechanics to make it more flexible."
"I might have the best product in the market. But if it's not properly configured, then I'm losing many of these features. I'm not getting the most out of them. And this is actually one of the biggest challenges that we're facing."
