We performed a comparison between Forescout Platform and Rapid7 InsightVM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Forescout and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."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."
"Ease of deployment There's a great support team that becomes actively engaged whenever we encounter issues. Their technical support is amazing. Good documentation is available. The product is stable. The solution is highly scalable. I recommend using the solution because it gives verified control over the environment. It has a great visibility feature."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment, which does not require the use of an agent."
"The initial setup is quite simple. It's not too complex or difficult to set up."
"The most valuable feature of Forescout Platform is that it has everything that Aruba has at significantly less cost."
"We really like that we get full visibility of devices in the local network."
"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."
"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."
"It's very scalable."
"I liked the dashboard on it. I could customize my dashboard with different widgets and different heat maps."
"I have been in contact with technical support and they are not bad."
"The reports in Rapid7 InsightVM are useful when compared to competitors."
"InsightVM offers a robust platform for identifying, prioritizing, and addressing vulnerabilities across an organization's IT infrastructure."
"You can bring in and get online to do reports fairly quickly,"
"The product is scalable."
"Rapid7 InsightVM has given us a practical view of the vulnerabilities present in our organization."
"The installation is not secure because it takes high admin privileges."
"Forescout Platform could improve the costs of integrations."
"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."
"Multitenancy should be included in the next version so it could be used as a managed service provider."
"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."
"Can be expensive if it's only being used for one feature."
"If older network devices are used there can be some compatibility issues while using the Forescout Platform. Additionally, if the switches that are deployed in your infrastructure are not captured properly to the endpoints there might be some difficulties with Forescout Platform trying to monitor the network traffic. Traffic management is an area the vendor should work on."
"We have found that the agent-based authentication, available within this solution could be improved."
"They should integrate the solution with multiple products."
"There are not enough templates, and the reporting is weak with this solution."
"The solution should include a tighter integration with third-party threat modeling and threat intelligence tools."
"A definite improvement would be to make it easier to run ad-hoc scans without needing to assign the asset to a site or group."
"There should be containerization within the VM."
"Their customer support should be improved, and the effectiveness of scans also needs to be improved."
"The solution could improve by being more secure."
"The reporting has room for improvement. You cannot customize any report. If I need a specific requirement, I have to create a new report for it."
