Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."Forescout Platform has granular features and one of the most impressive features is the agentless feature."
"The 802.1X compliance authentication feature of this solution is very good."
"Forescout has a feature that blocks the endpoint at the point of collection. It sets preconditions and will block the system if those aren't met."
"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."
"Forescout Platform's best feature is plug-in integration."
"The standout strength of this solution lies in its unique capability to effectively manage unmanaged switches."
"The most valuable features of the Forescout Platform are NAC for sharing, Network Access Control, and port sharing of the devices."
"You can quickly filter your view of devices and zero in on the ones you want using a variety of tools, such as what subnet it is on or what it has been classified as."
"The reports in Rapid7 InsightVM are useful when compared to competitors."
"Rapid7 have a good distribution network with good support and market presence."
"The discovery and prioritization of vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable feature for me is the risk calculation based on monthly effects."
"This solution's most useful feature is that it is entirely a single-page application."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its dashboards."
"I really love the new platform. It is really easy to understand, use, and deploy."
"The most valuable feature is the site scanning, where we can provide a complete subnet and what it is we need to scan on those devices."
"I believe that the overall user experience has not always been preferable."
"It does not support the TACACS+ protocol."
"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."
"Forescout Platform could improve the vulnerability management as well as the control on the endpoint, which needs to be connected to my network."
"More detailed analysis during the authentication process, especially for troubleshooting access issues. We have found that troubleshooting RADIUS controls is quite arduous, as it is today. A trace function could easily resolve this by providing a means by which access issues from a certificate to passwords or accounts could easily be identified and remediated."
"Forescout Platform could improve the costs of integrations."
"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."
"Some difficulties with the online reporting and lack of integrations."
"There are certain limitations because of the product being used on a hybrid model. Rapid7 InsightVM doesn't offer a solution purely in the cloud."
"Technical support does not respond quickly."
"InsightVM is getting a little stale and is in danger of falling behind its competitors."
"Within InsightVM, there is no feature to assign a ticket. If we can have more API calls, we can do that from InsightVM."
"One area I would like to improve in InsightVM is its integration with other solutions."
"The reporting could be better."
"The reporting is a little bit tricky because it can be difficult to exactly pinpoint some of the assets to filter them and generate a report."
