Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."Forescout Platform's best feature is plug-in integration."
"The initial setup is easy, taking no more than two or three weeks."
"The most valuable feature of the Forescout Platform it's highly customizable and flexible."
"Forescout Platform has granular features and one of the most impressive features is the agentless feature."
"We think it's simple. We think it's very useful and we really like reports and everything."
"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."
"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."
"The standout strength of this solution lies in its unique capability to effectively manage unmanaged switches."
"Aside from Firewall Assurance, we are using Network Assurance and Change Manager for an overview of the whole network and for documenting requests and the recertification of the ruleset."
"It's given us more visibility in terms of what are the kinds of configurations that are on these devices, and how many of these are stale rules. So it's helped greatly in terms of cleaning up of rules, for sure. And it has definitely given us a more secure way of backing up the configuration on these devices."
"The most valuable features are Firewall Assurance and Vulnerability Control."
"It has a good policy management feature and can provide customers with good quality outputs."
"When you import all the assets that you have, like desktops, servers, networks, devices, routers, and then firewalls, and other products, then Skybox makes like, a model of the network, but with context. So, it is not just a model in VIZIO. Or something like it like that. You get the model with context, and, like, it looks like a real network in a real-time. So you can check your network and the security of your network on that model."
"The most valuable features are the rule compliance and the OS vulnerability checks."
"Correlates logs and threats and prioritizes; provides network maps;p provides change result context and resulting vulnerability."
"It's very supportive and very user-friendly."
"Forescout needs to improve its cloud management and remote connectivity."
"Forescout Platform needs to improve how the device works in preventing rogue servers."
"Forescout Platform could improve the vulnerability management as well as the control on the endpoint, which needs to be connected to my network."
"The solution needs more definitive pricing. The costs are hard to nail down."
"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."
"It does not support the TACACS+ protocol."
"Forescout Platform's technical support is slow to respond and could be more knowledgeable."
"In the next release of the solution, it could benefit from being more flexible to allow for more freedom."
"There are multiple dashboards but no custom dashboard. It would be good to include a custom dashboard so that we can actually choose which field and what kinds of things we want to look at."
"There is room for improvement in the technical support."
"The price could be cheaper."
"The cloud site could be better. They should provide some use cases to help users."
"Modifications and the deletion of existing policies are currently unavailable."
"During implementation, we realised approximately 30 devices were not supported by the Skybox platform."
"If anything could be improved it would be staying on top of the collector scripts, but I understand that's a very tough challenge."
"Skybox Security Suite's attack surface management feature needs improvement."
