We performed a comparison between Forescout Platform and Rapid7 InsightVM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."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."
"The most valuable feature is the blocking of USB devices."
"This is clearly the best product for the NAC use cases in this field for Forescout."
"Forescout Platform is stable, it is great."
"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."
"I can integrate Forescout with products from multiple vendors in my environment, and also, the integration is searchable. It can be used with 802.1X and non-802.1X to integrate with my existing network. I don't need to upgrade any existing networks in my system, and I don't need to replace existing devices to integrate with Forescout. I find value in not having to spend money upgrading existing devices and networks."
"Forescout Platform provides multiple features. They have a very effective device fingerprinting in their cloud. You do not need to add any devices manually, such as in Mac devices. Other solutions you have to add IoT devices and OT devices manually. This is one of the major areas that Forescout Platform is excelling in."
"Forescout is easy to integrate with a lot of end systems."
"You can bring in and get online to do reports fairly quickly,"
"The reports in Rapid7 InsightVM are useful when compared to competitors."
"This solution is much more user-friendly than past solutions I have used."
"The cost is what is most valuable. Compared to the other products on the market, the cost is more palatable."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its dashboards."
"The product is scalable."
"InsightVM offers a robust platform for identifying, prioritizing, and addressing vulnerabilities across an organization's IT infrastructure."
"Has great reporting features."
"Search - needs boolean functionality (or pseudo operand now working)."
"Forescout Platform needs to improve how the device works in preventing rogue servers."
"The solution does have a bit of complexity, and there's some complexity in the deployment. Users need to be trained before undertaking an initial setup."
"Forescout Platform could improve the costs of integrations."
"The cost is too high."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There should be containerization within the VM."
"We have some issues with how it scans patches."
"Rapid7 InsightVM, has impressive capabilities, especially when it comes to managing video equipment. However, we've noticed that Rapid7 also offers a cloud solution called CloudSec, and we don't have that. We think it would be better if InsightVM had all the features for both on-premise and cloud management."
"The reporting is very bad when you compare it with other vulnerability assessment tools."
"Some difficulties with the online reporting and lack of integrations."
"The product does not have the capability to do dynamic scanning of non-web applications."
"There was functionality present previously, however, currently, we can't integrate directly with Jira Service Desk - only the cloud version."
"The solution should include a tighter integration with third-party threat modeling and threat intelligence tools."
