We are really adapted to the product. So we find it perfect.What needs improvement?
The biggest disadvantage is the pricing. I can see that the product has value. I see that the product is really good. I think that the pro is it's really stable, but price-wise, I think it's bad. But you have to pay for quality. But the… more»What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is really bad. We think that it's expensive. So the pricing part is expensive.What other advice do I have?
I recommend doing a compression demo. If people use it, they will buy it. So they have to see the product in place. That's the main recommendation is to do a proof of concept. If they do, they will buy it. I would rate Forscout Device… more»

What is most valuable?
It's a great solution. We use it for the internet here and it's been helpful. It's a great product for our Mac PCs and we can implement it to both our wireless and our wired network. It's very quick. The compliance aspects of the solution are excellent and one of the solution's best features. It helps us maintain the compliance of our endpoints. In terms of physical tools, we are very satisfied… more»What needs improvement?
There's always room for improvement for the solution. Off the top of my head, I really can't determine anything that is lacking right now. Basically there is no room for improvement that I can describe. 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.What other advice do I have?
I'd advise companies to ensure their teams are well trained in ForeScout before starting implementation of any kind. Those setting up and using the solution should have a basic background in networking. If users are comfortable with configuring, they can create processes for the environment. That way, it will be deployed properly. Teams should also test the solution first before they launch so… more»

What is most valuable?
The solution offers very good management. It allows for good detection of all the vendor products we have on-site. The solution is very similar to other solutions, so it's not hard to figure out how to use it.What needs improvement?
The solution could always improve by adding more features to make it more robust.What other advice do I have?
I'm basically focusing on the product line right now. It's pretty good. The nice thing about it is that at last, we have a kind of software that's very easy to work with. While most people in most of the cases do not want to go for Mac, in the case of cybersecurity, I believe it is very important to do so. In enterprise cases, the common culture is the DYD. Organizations need to add some sort of… more»Real User

We really like that we get full visibility of devices in the local network.What needs improvement?
It could be better, they could work on the wide-area network and easier because it's a bit clumsy at the moment when we go on to a remote site. It works well in the head office but we've had challenges trying to install it across other sites. So pricing and support for branch offices. The interface… more»What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The Forescout Device and Visibility Control Platform is quite expensive. I would recommend it depending on the environment, but I would tell them to look at things that depend on their environment. There is other software as well.What other advice do I have?
I would rate the Forescout Device and Visibility Control Platform at a six out of ten.

I can create granular policies. This is amazing. I really appreciate the granularity to create policies.How has it helped my organization?
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.What needs improvement?
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… more»Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
