Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The threat prevention feature provides complete visibility.""It's one of the tools that has given the federal government visibility into network devices and everything.""Provides a good overview of all devices on a network.""The solution's implementation and operation are very easy.""The most valuable features of ForeScout is the fact that it can do network access control either with 802.1x or without 802.1x.""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.""The initial setup is easy, taking no more than two or three weeks.""The user interface is quite simple."

More Forescout Platform Pros →

"The key differentiator is that it manages mobile devices and laptops in the same console. Windows and Linux are on the same console. This is the only product that does this. It's really the best in the industry.""The best part about Ivanti and Matrix 42 is that they are low-code solution builders with drag-and-drop capabilities regarding service management.""It provides security features for unified endpoint management.""Patching and remediation are the strongest features.""The solution's most valuable features are its patch management functionality and provisioning.""The most valuable feature of Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager, which my company mainly uses, is patching. Another valuable feature of Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is that it allows you to view the inventory list of the different machines.""The most valuable features of the solution are accessing the data through the mobiles and meeting with the compliance for security best practices."

Cons
"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.""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 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.""The reporting feature needs improvement.""As a product, there is nothing to complain about. However, they should improve their overall support. You need that level of knowledge, that level of information is clearly not available. First and foremost, that information is not accessible. The second point to mention is that once you purchase the later support and services. That is, they will continue to charge you for every service.""When we automate an email to send to a user, sometimes it gets blocked, but that has nothing to do with Forescout. It depends on the mail gateway that we use or integrate with.""The system controls could be better.""Definitely, having more third-party integration would be an improvement."

More Forescout Platform Cons →

"One of the features that Ivanti could improve is patching for non-Windows settings, such as Linux and Ubuntu.""When you open a new mobile, you automatically come onboard the mobile on the Ivanti platform but it needs some improvements.""An area for improvement in Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is reporting. It's lacking. For example, Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager reports should tell you if the agent is up to date, if the security patch is updated, etc.""If I want to integrate the solution with any other solution, pushing the policies from the Ivanti side is a bit tough.""Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager's support provided to its users by the vendor is one area that needs to improve.""The solution needs a complete overhaul or makeover. It gets stuck sometimes because they're focusing on the cloud UEM stuff rather than paying as much attention to that particular piece. The ease of use could be improved. It combines many different functionalities that you would need multiple servers like SCCM. If I wanted to train people, I’d move to a higher level from an Apache architect. There are five or six different products. So, training functional staff to use the product can be challenging because it can sometimes be cumbersome. Reporting is challenging. We use Avanti extraction to report off an endpoint. We don't use the reporting because of the need for more functionality, granularity, or customization.""The product's blocking definition needs improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Devices with multiple IP's count multiple times against your license count."
  • "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."
  • "We went with the virtual appliance option. The biggest cost to running these types of appliances would be to either have multiple virtual appliances at every data center or running Remote SPAN hardware to provide you the real-time network visibility."
  • "The ROI is priceless."
  • "It might not be the cheapest solution, but you get what you pay for."
  • "Time savings in finding rogue devices as well as identifying potentially unwanted devices on the network has saved the organization time and money."
  • "The setup cost, pricing, and licensing are on the high side."
  • "Forescout Platform is too expensive, so the price should be reduced."
  • More Forescout Platform Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is more expensive than some of the products I've used. It follows module-based licensing, so it would be more costly if you had more modules. Your costs depend on what modules you need."
  • "On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the highest, and one is the cheapest, I rate its pricing a five."
  • "The licensing is based on assets for MDM or EM, where you need one license per asset. The license is annual, and it is not very expensive."
  • "The product is expensive."
  • "The solution is pretty expensive."
  • "On a scale from one to ten, where one is low and ten is high, I rate the solution's pricing ten out of ten."
