Additionally, the interface of the platform is good."
"We think it's simple. We think it's very useful and we really like reports and everything."
"The most valuable features of the Forescout Platform are ease of management and outstanding visibility. The visibility is simple to obtain."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment, which does not require the use of an agent."
"Forescout Platform has granular features and one of the most impressive features is the agentless feature."
"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."
"The scalability is good."
"The solution has good features for authentication, policies, and allowing users to self-provision devices for network access via their logins."

"I find the solution to be very rich in features."
"Ruckus technical support is very good and helpful whenever we need them."
"The tool's most valuable features include the phenomenal functionality of DPSK. The ease of use, particularly when it is correctly set up, is remarkably simple. Tracking users is straightforward and dynamic. This allows us to identify where a user might encounter issues within the process."
"Can be expensive if it's only being used for one feature."
"The solution could always improve by adding more features to make it more robust."
"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."
"Logging would be one area for improvement. When we're troubleshooting, there are not a lot of clear things on Google that we can look up for ourselves. When we have an issue with it, we have to call the company to get the vendors involved. The logging of Forescout is horrible compared to other things that we've used."
"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."
"The system controls could be better."
"The ability to block external devices in Mac is lacking and needs to be added."
"The cost is too high."
"I believe the solution is missing some great features which are present in other solutions like Aruba, UiPath, and Cisco ISE."
"The solution could improve by adding more detailed information that customers have available on the dashboards."
"The setup process is a bit complex."
"The tool needs to support multi-vendor environments. Currently, my experience with it has been primarily within Ruckus environments. However, I haven't explored it for multi-vendor scenarios. It would be great to see newer builds that are multi-vendor capable of full integration."
"The hardest part we've had to deal with is trying to find some physical product recently as everything is going like hotcakes."
"The scalability could be better."
