Great orchestration and discovery capabilities
Forescout Platform allows actions to be automated, which reduces the response time to any suspicious or malicious activity The best parts of Forescout Platform are its orchestration features, discovery capabilities, classification buckets, and flexibility in creating policies. Forescout Platform…

We can get consolidated logs of suspicious objects and malware attacks in a single console
I like Vision Central. We can manage all the Trend Micro products from one console. Vision One protects against zero-day attacks. It has a feature where it identifies suspicious objects and traffic. We believe it's easy to learn. We perform cross-layer detection, threat hunting, and investigation from a single console. This capability is essential. We have 15-point IPS, DDI, and all these different security products that we can manage from one console. One Endpoint Security gives us end-to-end visibility. We can forward all the logs to the same solution and interact with the SOC team immediately. We get an alert about any suspicious objects or abnormal behavior, enabling us to take immediate action.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The best parts of Forescout Platform are its orchestration features, discovery capabilities, classification buckets, and flexibility in creating policies."
"Forescout Platform has granular features and one of the most impressive features is the agentless feature."
"The user interface is quite simple."
"The visibility is the main benefit. We now know how many devices are connected, what the use for each device is and what kind of devices we have in our environment."
"The most valuable features are remote access and administration scripts."
"The most valuable features of ForeScout is the fact that it can do network access control either with 802.1x or without 802.1x."
"This is clearly the best product for the NAC use cases in this field for Forescout."
"Emergency response, risk assessment information to get a view of the of the vulnerability."
"The antivirus is the most valuable aspect of Trend Micro Apex One."
"The most valuable features are web application features and real-time scans."
"The product offers almost all of the features the client expects from such a solution."
"The most valuable feature is the behavior monitoring."
"I can run a full scan and it won't cost too much in terms of resources, which is good."
"Trend Micro has advanced protection capabilities that cover unknown and advanced novel threats. It's critical because restoration could be complicated if we lose machines or information on the machine. If we lose some business information, we might run afoul of the law. Apex One can prevent all these incidents. It's an excellent solution."
"The features I found most valuable in this solution are the micro apps. I also value the dashboard that offers better visibility and helps protect machines from attacks."
"It's a good solution, and they have something called Suite incorporating many, many engines like encryption, GLB, anti-virus."
 

Cons

"I believe that the overall user experience has not always been preferable."
"Forescout Platform could improve the integration or compatibility with other solutions, such as Chinese-made solutions. They do not have any integration with S33 which is a switch. They do not have good integration with new solutions in the market. They do integrate well with Rocket, Cisco, Juniper, and quite a few more but they could expand the integration."
"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."
"This solution is not that easy to scale but this depends on a company's needs."
"The biggest disadvantage is the pricing."
"The reporting feature needs improvement."
"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."
"Two things can be improved in the Forescout Platform. First of all, the support for some certain proprietary protocols from other vendors, but they are very widely used. If the TechEx from Cisco, was added to Forescout, then it will be a full solution for me."
"The integration is lacking in Trend Micro Apex One. It does not integrate well with Microsoft p solutions. For example, with Office 365, we have to buy another solution for mail protection. That's why we are assessing Microsoft Defender 365 because we have an email from Microsoft, an endpoint from Microsoft, and we use Windows systems."
"Sometimes HTTPS sites are not blocked properly."
"They could improve the integration with Active Directory."
"The reports are not eye-catching from the customer's point of view, which is something that should be improved."
"The price is the main concern of the clients."
"The integration could improve in this solution."
"Sometimes it will not communicate with the server, and we need to manually restart items."
"The CPU usage when scanning is too high and we have run into bottlenecks were it consumes a lot of CPU time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They base the license on the number of devices, which is quite misleading."
"The fact that we were allowed to spin up as many servers as we had need of to support our geographic requirements while paying for licensing as an enterprise truly set Forescout apart from the crowd and improved the way we could design our access."
"The ROI is priceless."
"The product's pricing is reasonable."
"It might not be the cheapest solution, but you get what you pay for."
"We might have paid in the ballpark of $20,000 yearly for our licenses. I do not recall there being other fees over and above the standard licensing fee."
"Forescout Platform is too expensive, so the price should be reduced."
"We have a very clear licensing model for business. I don't have to have a Ph.D. to be able to understand the licensing model as you might need for other solutions. If I know exactly what we want, it can tell you which license you need. The solution is easy for purchasing, ordering, and ease of deployment as well."
"The pricing was previously considered affordable, however, currently, it is on the rise due to a new licensing segregation policy."
"From a commercial aspect, it is a bit higher compared to other market products."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"It's well priced at a yearly rate. The price itself depends on whether the solution is full suite, half suite, or some other engine. It's different according to the consumer's requests."
"It's an annual subscription."
"The price for Trend Micro is reasonable."
"Apex One is expensive but we manage to work with the cost."
"Trend Micro Apex One is priced well."
