Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Forescout and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."The most valuable feature of the Forescout Platform is the large capacity it can handle. Additionally, the interface of the platform is good."
"The user interface is quite simple."
"Being able to actively identify the client without a certificate allows you to control every device on your network regardless of the make, model, and software running. This allows for end-to-end security."
"The 802.1X compliance authentication feature of this solution is very good."
"The standout strength of this solution lies in its unique capability to effectively manage unmanaged switches."
"Being able to sort on device types or devices with open ports is helpful when narrowing down assets of possible misconfigured devices that may be vulnerable on the network. We can take action on those devices based off of corporate policy."
"Forescout Platform's most valuable features are that it is very granular. We are able to cull out a lot of information about our particular device or endpoint. The configuration and the visibility are very seamless. Overall the solution is very easy to handle and it's very comprehensive."
"Provides a good overview of all devices on a network."
"There are many features. Its reliability, ease of installation, ease of use, and the richness of the information provided are the most valuable features."
"We also like the flexibility in their licensing."
"The solution is easy to use."
"I find the solution's dashboard interesting...The response time is fine. You can pull up reports without dragging or consuming bandwidth."
"Qualys VM's best feature is vulnerability management."
"The reporting functionality is great."
"I am impressed with the VMDR feature."
"Intuitive and easy to use."
"Forescout needs to improve its cloud management and remote connectivity."
"Forescout Platform could improve the integration or compatibility with other solutions, such as Chinese-made solutions. They do not have any integration with S33 which is a switch. They do not have good integration with new solutions in the market. They do integrate well with Rocket, Cisco, Juniper, and quite a few more but they could expand the integration."
"In the next release of the solution, it could benefit from being more flexible to allow for more freedom."
"The fact that Forescout Platform doesn't have a presence in the South African region is a weakness because of which you can't ask for help from them if you have any problems."
"Two things can be improved in the Forescout Platform. First of all, the support for some certain proprietary protocols from other vendors, but they are very widely used. If the TechEx from Cisco, was added to Forescout, then it will be a full solution for me."
"Definitely, having more third-party integration would be an improvement."
"The reporting feature needs improvement."
"This solution is not that easy to scale but this depends on a company's needs."
"Qualys Container Security can improve the interface. It could be easier to navigate and be enriched."
"Sometimes the scanning can get overwhelmed and start to drag when a lot of users are trying to scan at once."
"If anything, I would like to see the user interface modernized a bit more."
"I would like to have CSPM, a continuous scan-like cloud added to the solution."
"I would like to see more accuracy in detections, better reporting capabilities, and better dashboard download capabilities."
"They should make it accessible for more operating systems."
"Improve the API speed."
"Qualys could be improved in its overall performance compared to other vulnerability management or scanning tools."
