"The user interface is quite simple."
"The actions that the agentless visibility, allow us to perform on the endpoint, are really amazing, especially in the way that it is done."
"Obtaining visibility into the network and connected devices is very simple with this tool. It takes me three minutes to do a base deployment when all the parameters are available."
"The stability is amazing for the Forescout Platform. We have been using Forescout for four years, and no one complained about the stability."
"Forescout Platform provides multiple features. They have a very effective device fingerprinting in their cloud. You do not need to add any devices manually, such as in Mac devices. Other solutions you have to add IoT devices and OT devices manually. This is one of the major areas that Forescout Platform is excelling in."
"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 most valuable features of the Forescout Platform are NAC for sharing, Network Access Control, and port sharing of the devices."
"It's so easy to set up, you don't need outside assistance."
"The technical support is top-notch."
"It's a stable product."
"It's easy to manage and troubleshoot thanks to the lightweight components."
"I am impressed with the solution's voucher capability and authentication. The tool is integrated with Active Direct storage."
"For the information security team, the security level was improved because it helped to manage and prevent rogue devices from connecting to the corporate network. The reporting was granular, and reports we scheduled for delivery on Portnox were useful during investigations and audits, especially in cases where the IP address changed."
"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."
"Forescout Platform could improve the vulnerability management as well as the control on the endpoint, which needs to be connected to my network."
"Multitenancy should be included in the next version so it could be used as a managed service provider."
"It's scalable, but not without a big investment. It doesn't do so well at the branch. At the home office, it does okay and not so well at the branch."
"The solution's customer support is bad and should be improved."
"The reporting feature needs improvement."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"It does not support the TACACS+ protocol."
"I should be able to integrate my Forescout with any other third party security technology, to build that connected security strategy."
"We have been having some issues with it. That's why we're considering migrating to Portnox Clear due to some limitations with CORE."
"It would be good to integrate Portnox CORE with CLEAR."
"It could be a little cheaper."
"It might be beneficial to improve the ease of integrating the product with firewalls."
"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."
"The solution did have some stability issues, however, all I had to do was restart it."
"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."
"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."
