Forescout Platform Stability

Enterprise Level Policy Manager at a government with 10,001+ employees

It's pretty stable. We had some unexplained issues. We lost our ability to authenticate. So, about 30,000 phones went down. We had to get the Forescout vendors in here to figure out why that happened, and then we sent the logs up, but I don't think we got any clear answers on why it happened.

Forescout Platform is a stable solution.

If you do it correctly in terms of configuration and deployment. If you know the necessary prerequisites, yes it is very stable.

It has a place in terms of stability. I believe Forescout is likely to compete with other NAC tools used by agencies, such as Cisco ISE and new EDR tools that are entering the market. I believe, will be considered. But, overall, the asset management, is effective.

Forescout is one of the most stable pieces of software that I have ever worked with. Their updates are timely, and their software has an assortment of plugins and bolt-ons. Having a software this flexible would normally present itself with bugs, but we have not run into any software issues with their plugins, modules, or software in general.

We had a few issues that were unique to our environment, but ForeScout tech support has been very timely in being able to respond to them and getting us support we needed. We have had to have a few reboots due to some outages, but again, these are things that were able to be resolve very quickly. Overall, I would say that this is a stable solution.

VP, Infrastructure Management and Security Services at a energy/utilities company with 5,001-10,000 employees

It has been stable. The benefit wasn't around stability, it was more around preventing instability. What we were fearful about is whether or not customers would get impacted by the restriction of them not being able to connect to the network.

For instance: you're an employee, your laptop was part of our asset, but your phone was not and your tablet was not. All of the sudden, now all three of those devices were all connected into environment. Well, I only want your laptop to be connected. Your mobile devices, I really don't care to because when you go, you surf wherever you want on your stuff. You could probably pull up malware and then plug it in as soon as you put in your credentials into our network. So we want to keep that one off and allow you to connect to the network but connect to the internet, but not to my infrastructure.

Overall, I think it's pretty stable. We did have some problems with the wireless plan. The wireless plug-in, where a device that we asked to be blocked for whatever reason, is not blocked. For a couple of months, we had the wireless plug-in disabled because too many end-users were being blocked when they shouldn't have been.

From the wireless standpoint, I would say that the reliability was somewhat poor, but CounterACT worked with us over a couple month period and did push out a patch. Today, things are better.

There are few issues with CounterACT that need more attention, mainly it's ability to process and perform discovery faster. At times, CounterACT takes too long to determine the endpoints, which may cause delays to the end users.

CounterACT could also use a more stable management console interface. This is because there will be times where CounterACT takes too long to login to its management console.

Another issue with CounterACT is that it does not provide very meaningful error messages when some error occurs. The error messages are hidden and it does not show unless the users click on a specific button or mouse over to the problematic elements.
