"The most valuable feature of the Forescout Platform it's highly customizable and flexible."
"The user interface is quite simple."
"Forescout Platform has granular features and one of the most impressive features is the agentless feature."
"Within three or four days, we have complete visibility of your infrastructure on the network. Compared to other solutions, the deployment of the solution is easier and we can close the project quickly."
"The user management has been very easy for the most part."
"It has helped with improving our security posture in terms of controlling the access of rogue devices into our network through identification. We have been able to prevent rogue device activities on the network, check the health of the system, and ensure remediation."
"This is clearly the best product for the NAC use cases in this field for Forescout."
"It is very easy to scale the product."
"The cost is too high."
"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."
"Initially, the implementation of the Forescout Platform took some time to figure out. The reason is we are a manufacturing unit and we have certain silos that are insulated areas where certain systems will not connect to the internet or to the LAN. Since there are many parts of it, we have to have an inclusive view of all those systems. It took a while for us to initially implement, but after a few months, everything worked well."
"The ability to block external devices in Mac is lacking and needs to be added."
"Definitely, having more third-party integration would be an improvement."
"The licensing costs are quite high. With the amount of hardware we have, we need too many licenses to make the product effective and it's ultimately just too costly."
"Forescout needs to upgrade its development in the future."
"This solution is not that easy to scale but this depends on a company's needs."
"The solution would be much better if it offered self-service onboarding."
