There are two main solutions in the market, Cisco ISE, and Forescout Platform. If we compare both of them, the Forescout Platform is best. The solution is top of the line. If someone wants to choose a NAC solution, I will definitely recommend it.

When we arrived, Forescout was still in the process of being deployed. I don't believe they had the kind of capability that Forescout provides prior to our arrival. If anything, they had different NAC tools.

We have previously used Symantec Mac. We switched to the Forescout Platform because Symantec has certain inhibitions. Symantec doesn't have an agentless implementation and they don't have a roadmap.

I have done many POCs with many similar solutions, such as Aruba ClearPass and Cisco ISE.

The implementation of Aruba ClearPass was very difficult. When we tried other solutions, the initial learning is difficult and takes a lot of time. Forescout Platform has been straightforward to use.

Cisco ISE has a very difficult integration for us.

We did not use a different solution other than best guess or a manual Nmap with port scanning tools to find out what was on a network segment, which was very time consuming.

In other organizations, I've used Nevis and Cisco ISE.

Nevis is not very good as far as scalability is concerned. ISE is good. There are no issues with that. Forescout also should be good. There should not be any issues, and I do not expect any challenges.

We did not previously use a different solution. Forescout was our first.

We are just now migrating to Cisco ISE. The problem is that we have around 500 users and we have only 100 licenses from Forescout due to the fact that it is a little expensive for us. We are trying instead to move to Cisco ISE, which has better pricing.

Comparing Forescout to Aruba ClearPass, the difference is in the price and the level of policy enforcement.

I switched from Cisco NAC because it is reliant on 802.1X, and has no other function than to ensure endpoints have authenticated via your method of choice.

We used Cisco ISE but found that it did not have the flexibility that we needed within our organization.

We previously used Perfigo, which was later bought by Cisco and became Clean Access. ForeScout offered us a device with a 10GB connection, and that on top of the feature set for the price sealed the deal.

We were not using a device previously. I think the goal was originally, how do we know what's on our network? CounterACT solved that problem by allowing us to create our own rules that we wanted. It starts from a very high level and you can drill down into devices. We can now categorize, say, things like IOT devices such as clocks that operate wirelessly, building automation. We can get into all these different categories and groups of things. Whereas, before we really didn't know it. If you plugged in a device, you were getting an address from DHCP. Now, you have to meet these requirements to get an address.

We didn't have a NAC solution in place. This is the very first solution we've tried mostly because other solutions have 802.1x as a mandatory requirement.
