"We really like that we get full visibility of devices in the local network."
"The scalability is good."
"The most valuable feature of Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager, which my company mainly uses, is patching. Another valuable feature of Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is that it allows you to view the inventory list of the different machines."
"The key differentiator is that it manages mobile devices and laptops in the same console. Windows and Linux are on the same console. This is the only product that does this. It's really the best in the industry."
"It provides security features for unified endpoint management."
"The best part about Ivanti and Matrix 42 is that they are low-code solution builders with drag-and-drop capabilities regarding service management."
"The solution's most valuable features are its patch management functionality and provisioning."
"The most valuable features of the solution are accessing the data through the mobiles and meeting with the compliance for security best practices."
"Patching and remediation are the strongest features."
"Forescout Platform needs to improve how the device works in preventing rogue servers."
"As a user, if I am using a laptop that is Wi-Fi connected, Forescout identifies my port connectivity as one user license, and if I take that same laptop with the same username to a wired network, which is also the same network that is used for the Wi-Fi connection, Forescout detects it as a separate license."
"The solution's customer support is bad and should be improved."
"Other solutions have TACACS+, but Forescout does not. In the next release, I would like to see Forescout have accounting."
"In the next release of the solution, it could benefit from being more flexible to allow for more freedom."
"The installation is not secure because it takes high admin privileges."
"Forescout Platform isn't flexible with connections to devices like printers and forces you to re-enter details like the MAC address after any breakdowns."
"This solution is not that easy to scale but this depends on a company's needs."
"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager's support provided to its users by the vendor is one area that needs to improve."
"One of the features that Ivanti could improve is patching for non-Windows settings, such as Linux and Ubuntu."
"An area for improvement in Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is reporting. It's lacking. For example, Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager reports should tell you if the agent is up to date, if the security patch is updated, etc."
"The product's blocking definition needs improvement."
"When you open a new mobile, you automatically come onboard the mobile on the Ivanti platform but it needs some improvements."
"The solution needs a complete overhaul or makeover. It gets stuck sometimes because they're focusing on the cloud UEM stuff rather than paying as much attention to that particular piece. The ease of use could be improved. It combines many different functionalities that you would need multiple servers like SCCM. If I wanted to train people, I’d move to a higher level from an Apache architect. There are five or six different products. So, training functional staff to use the product can be challenging because it can sometimes be cumbersome. Reporting is challenging. We use Avanti extraction to report off an endpoint. We don't use the reporting because of the need for more functionality, granularity, or customization."
"If I want to integrate the solution with any other solution, pushing the policies from the Ivanti side is a bit tough."
