Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Compliance solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Forescout Platform's best feature is plug-in integration."
"Forescout Platform has made it possible to block people working near our construction sites who should not have access to our network."
"The product is very easy to work with and easy to deploy."
"Its feature that I have found most valuable is that it is very granular. You can configure granular controls just as you want those policies to be implemented. It gives you that flexibility to go granular in how you want your controls to be implemented. That's something I like about it."
"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."
"Vulnerability remediation is valuable. We can narrow down a system and its properties. We can go granular on the properties of each endpoint, such as which operating system you're using."
"The standout strength of this solution lies in its unique capability to effectively manage unmanaged switches."
"Provides a good overview of all devices on a network."
"Asset management is most valuable. It is essential for all customers. The other features are also useful, but asset management is most important."
"We can get the majority of what we need with this product and do not have to spend money on something else."
"The service desk can be configured and customized to better serve our environment."
"Using this solution saves us lots of time, especially when it comes to performing updates."
"Patching is definitely the most valuable feature. It gives us good, centralized software, which comes in very handy since we are doing 400 servers at a time. It enables us to manage all the servers, and to deal with the application team regarding reboots and scheduling."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to have an overview of all devices that are accessing our environment."
"It also does patch management. At the moment, I'm rolling out a new feature update, 20.8.2, and it's a great challenge because we have to deploy it to 1,200 computers in the home office. We want to do it without interrupting production, but KACE is reliable and it's easy to adapt it to my needs for how and when to deploy the feature update."
"I can reach people now that I couldn't have reached previously. We are saving about 25 percent in time."
"Forescout needs to improve its cloud management and remote connectivity."
"The initial setup was complex."
"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."
"I believe that the overall user experience has not always been preferable."
"The product needs to improve its support. I know a case that dragged on for about one and a half years. They eventually suggested professional services and closed the ticket. We followed their advice, engaging the account manager and professional service team, only to discover that the issue was a bug. After reopening the case, it's been about six months, and the problem still hasn't been resolved."
"Definitely, having more third-party integration would be an improvement."
"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."
"The solution could always improve by adding more features to make it more robust."
"There is always room for improvement. However, the system does most of what we need at this moment."
"My biggest complaint is that almost every time they send out a new version, it fixes something and breaks another. Something that wasn't working in the last version now works, but something else stops; or they'll remove some dashboard that I really found to be nice and replace it with something totally different that I could care less about."
"I think it should have the ability to have the applications automatically update. It would be really helpful if this would override what the user might choose to do."
"We had issues with the tool's support. We are a Dutch firm and everything has to be in Dutch. We were not able to do the alerts. You were required to tweak them a lot to get them in the language that you preferred. The solution's support depended on the person that you got online. Sometimes, the response was fast and other times you needed to wait a long time. The support also depended on the levels of support that you had requested."
"There may be a good reason why some things are not easily able to be done, yet it needs work to compete with some of the other ticketing systems out there now."
"The only hiccups we had were some power issues, where the box was a little under-powered early on."
"The labeling process should be more streamlined. It should be easier to do. It gets confusing at times."
"Scalability is my primary concern right now."
