Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Forescout and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."The most valuable feature of Forescout Platform is that it has everything that Aruba has at significantly less cost."
"Forescout Platform's best feature is plug-in integration."
"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 most valuable feature of the Forescout Platform is the large capacity it can handle. Additionally, the interface of the platform is good."
"The stability is amazing for the Forescout Platform. We have been using Forescout for four years, and no one complained about the stability."
"Forescout is easy to integrate with a lot of end systems."
"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."
"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."
"A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution."
"Intune provides full visibility into all active mobile device users. If their devices are noncompliant with our security policies, I have the flexibility to update them remotely."
"Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space."
"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"Configuration profiles, remediation, scripts, and auto-pilot features are very good."
"One of the best features is Windows Autopilot because if you change any of your devices, whatever security policies and compliance policies that applied can be easily migrated to the new devices. Windows Autopilot gives you that flexibility."
"The feature I like the most is that we can perform remote tasks. If we want to retire or wipe out personal data or corporate data from a device, we can use Microsoft Intune remotely, and with the click of a button, data is removed automatically. Nothing needs to be done from the end-user side."
"Intune's unified endpoint management platform is invaluable."
"They need to handle their Tier 1 cases differently. The biggest negative regarding Forescout is their support. Not having the ability to get instantly transferred to a support engineer for Tier 1 cases is pretty ridiculous."
"Custom integrations need to be better."
"The biggest disadvantage is the pricing."
"The ability to block external devices in Mac is lacking and needs to be added."
"In the next release of the solution, it could benefit from being more flexible to allow for more freedom."
"Other solutions have TACACS+, but Forescout does not. In the next release, I would like to see Forescout have accounting."
"Can be expensive if it's only being used for one feature."
"We experienced some detection issues when checking compliance for the Sophos agent."
"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
"Technical support is not that great."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"There needs to be more support for Mac operating systems."
"We only have major classifications for iOS and Android, but there are different brands that have different cycles of updates. If they can fine-tune it to make it more brand-specific, that would be even better."
"Lacking in features such as Wi-Fi and network security."
"The configuration and pricing can be improved."
"A new Intune feature allows application packaging, but it incurs additional licensing costs for a significant number of applications."
