Find out in this report how the two Network Access Control (NAC) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This solution can be used to organize guest portals, integrate switches, and create policies. Some of its standard use cases also include completing key process upgrades and anti-virus of Windows OS."
"It allows for good detection of all the vendor products we have on-site."
"Its feature that I have found most valuable is that it is very granular. You can configure granular controls just as you want those policies to be implemented. It gives you that flexibility to go granular in how you want your controls to be implemented. That's something I like about it."
"The plugins are very robust -- the ability scanner, patch management system, and SQL integrator."
"The solution's implementation and operation are very easy."
"The initial setup is quite simple. It's not too complex or difficult to set up."
"I have noticed that in the last year the license model has changed from licensing the whole appliance to licensing the number of devices. It's more simple for a large installation, or a user to have CounterACT as their peripheral site in the company. It's a good choice to have changed the license policy."
"The product is very easy to work with and easy to deploy."
"The product is a valuable solution within zero-trust architecture, enhancing network security and visibility."
"This is a self-sufficient network monitoring and security product that saves time and employee resources."
"The most important feature is that this solution is agentless. So, you don't have to install any agents on endpoints."
"The Vidahost feature is currently in action, and it appears to be providing valuable data insights."
"Technical support was very helpful when we needed them."
"It's easy to manage and troubleshoot thanks to the lightweight components."
"It's a stable product."
"There is an add-on feature for application control to kill unwanted applications when launched on a user's device."
"Forescout needs to improve its cloud management and remote connectivity."
"The solution could always improve by adding more features to make it more robust."
"Regarding pricing, there is room for improvement to enhance competitiveness with other vendors and solutions."
"The installation is not secure because it takes high admin privileges."
"The ability to block external devices in Mac is lacking and needs to be added."
"Forescout Platform could improve the costs of integrations."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The system controls could be better."
"It might be beneficial to improve the ease of integrating the product with firewalls."
"It could be a little cheaper."
"Now, the way security is viewed, maybe including something like AI, to automate some of the things that are required to be done would be great."
"Portnox CORE can improve on support for unmanaged switches (or hubs) and other brands of network devices. These kinds of devices are still in use in organisations, especially SMEs who cannot afford to buy a managed switch."
"The price could be better."
"The integration between Portnox CORE and Portnox CLEAR can be better. These are two different systems, and there is no unique console for both devices. Portnox CORE is agentless, whereas Portnox CLEAR is not agentless."
"The product should consider more integration with vendors like Huawei. It should also improve visibility. The solution should offer a partner portal that can provide customers training on the in and out of the solution."
"We have been having some issues with it. That's why we're considering migrating to Portnox Clear due to some limitations with CORE."
