Find out in this report how the two Network Access Control (NAC) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product is very easy to work with and easy to deploy."
"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 stability is amazing for the Forescout Platform. We have been using Forescout for four years, and no one complained about the stability."
"We use the Forescout Platform for device visibility and control in our network. It's very helpful for tracking malicious or unusual activity. We use it to track which ports are open, which machines are running specific services, and to identify vulnerabilities. For example, there was a vulnerability related to SMB, and we could use the product to determine which machines inside our organization were allowing SMB traffic."
"Forescout is easy to integrate with a lot of end systems."
"The most valuable feature of the Forescout Platform it's highly customizable and flexible."
"We really like that we get full visibility of devices in the local network."
"The most valuable features are remote access and administration scripts."
"The minute people have issues on their network, we can see what is happening right away."
"This is a self-sufficient network monitoring and security product that saves time and employee resources."
"The technical support is top-notch."
"Technical support was very helpful when we needed them."
"I am impressed with the solution's voucher capability and authentication. The tool is integrated with Active Direct storage."
"The product is a valuable solution within zero-trust architecture, enhancing network security and visibility."
"It's so easy to set up, you don't need outside assistance."
"There is an add-on feature for application control to kill unwanted applications when launched on a user's device."
"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."
"Other solutions have TACACS+, but Forescout does not. In the next release, I would like to see Forescout have accounting."
"Search - needs boolean functionality (or pseudo operand now working)."
"This solution is not that easy to scale but this depends on a company's needs."
"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 could improve the vulnerability management as well as the control on the endpoint, which needs to be connected to my network."
"Logging would be one area for improvement. When we're troubleshooting, there are not a lot of clear things on Google that we can look up for ourselves. When we have an issue with it, we have to call the company to get the vendors involved. The logging of Forescout is horrible compared to other things that we've used."
"As a user, if I am using a laptop that is Wi-Fi connected, Forescout identifies my port connectivity as one user license, and if I take that same laptop with the same username to a wired network, which is also the same network that is used for the Wi-Fi connection, Forescout detects it as a separate license."
"We have been having some issues with it. That's why we're considering migrating to Portnox Clear due to some limitations with CORE."
"The price could be better."
"Portnox CORE can improve on support for unmanaged switches (or hubs) and other brands of network devices. These kinds of devices are still in use in organisations, especially SMEs who cannot afford to buy a managed switch."
"One of the things for the on-premise is that sometimes you click on it and it takes a while for it to respond."
"It might be beneficial to improve the ease of integrating the product with firewalls."
"The solution did have some stability issues, however, all I had to do was restart it."
"It could be a little cheaper."
"It would be good to integrate Portnox CORE with CLEAR."
