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."The interface is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of the Forescout Platform it's highly customizable and flexible."
"The threat prevention feature provides complete visibility."
"The stability is amazing for the Forescout Platform. We have been using Forescout for four years, and no one complained about the stability."
"The initial setup is easy, taking no more than two or three weeks."
"The most valuable feature of the Forescout Platform is the large capacity it can handle. Additionally, the interface of the platform is 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."
"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."
"The most valuable features are malware detection, integrates well with other solutions, and ease of use for all users."
"This solution makes it easier to work from home."
"The solution has inexpensive scalability, works very well and can communicate with other Fortinet devices."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiClient are ease of use and simple configuration."
"What I find valuable in FortiClient is its patch management capabilities, allowing remote updates efficiently."
"The connection speed is fast. I can connect quickly at any time, and there are never any interruptions to the FortiClient connection. I could easily code into the client's server with that connection, with no lag."
"It's got a very friendly user interface."
"It is a feature-rich product that is easy to use and install without sacrificing security."
"I should be able to integrate my Forescout with any other third party security technology, to build that connected security strategy."
"They should improve features related to IT security. ForeScout should analyze behavior to see if the behavior is malicious behavior and block this device. They should develop the ability to analyze the behavior of the device in my environment."
"When adding what is in scope to a policy, it would be nice if you could select multiple policies instead of one policy at a time to add what is in the scope for network segmentation. I have found that during the install and configuration of the policies that if you want to modify multiple policies or enable multiple policies that you need to define what is in the scope (IP range or segments) one rule at a time. This caused some slow downs when implementing policies."
"I believe that the overall user experience has not always been preferable."
"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."
"The solution's customer support is bad and should be improved."
"Better integration with third-party vendors is needed because as it is now, the list of third-party solutions that we can integrate and automate is quite limited."
"The cost is too high."
"The solution has some issues with stability on the user side."
"With Fortinet, some clients have to wait two to four days for a response. That is the biggest complaint from end customer about Fortinet's technical support."
"It would be interesting if the solution offered a way to try to investigate and create a use case to trace vectors."
"We do not use the solution every day and there are times when the new users have trouble reconnecting. The technology itself works but our users getting adopted to it is a major problem. Having the user adapt to the desktop landing page that it begins on is throwing them off a bit."
"The solution could add data to the endpoint."
"I would like for the next release to be more user-friendly for users to do not have as much of a technical background."
"It would be nice to see more in hand features in terms of the DLP, so that the solution can be integrated with the DLP, as well as more reporting features on the end point."
"The pricing could use improvement."
