Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."The interface is easy to use."
"Forescout CounterACT has allowed us to better open our access and control wireless access globally from our HQ. This allows us to monitor the network access for every office globally. This has improved overall security, reducing risk and opening up the opportunity to provide greater end user flexibility."
"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 scalability is good."
"We think it's simple. We think it's very useful and we really like reports and everything."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment, which does not require the use of an agent."
"Forescout Platform is stable, it is great."
"Forescout Platform's best feature is plug-in integration."
"The solution is good because it has a lot of options."
"I like Rapid7's scan optimization options."
"The solution works well."
"The solution is very user friendly and easy to manage."
"The product is scalable."
"This solution is much more user-friendly than past solutions I have used."
"We feel the interface is very good. It is very easy to use, even a nontechnical person can use it."
"I liked the dashboard on it. I could customize my dashboard with different widgets and different heat maps."
"Custom integrations need to be better."
"The system controls could be better."
"We experienced some detection issues when checking compliance for the Sophos agent."
"For the user, the policy that they have implemented sometimes needs adjustments. Sometimes the features that the customer asks for aren't involved in the main installation, and I need to bolt an add-on in. However, I never know if this policy is the right one when I do this."
"This solution is not that easy to scale but this depends on a company's needs."
"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."
"The cost is too high."
"If older network devices are used there can be some compatibility issues while using the Forescout Platform. Additionally, if the switches that are deployed in your infrastructure are not captured properly to the endpoints there might be some difficulties with Forescout Platform trying to monitor the network traffic. Traffic management is an area the vendor should work on."
"In terms of improvements, its price could be better. Our main issue with Rapid7 is that it is too expensive. You can only sell it to enterprise accounts. In terms of new features, Rapid7 came up with a product called InsightIDR a couple of years ago, which is a good SIEM solution. We expect that Rapid7 will work on some sort of integration between InsightVM and InsightIDR, where vulnerability or anomaly detected by InsightVM can be reported in InsightIDR in some sort of real-time. Rapid7 doesn't patch. For example, if you have a vulnerability, some products can scan and also do the patching, but Rapid7 does not do the patching. It would be nice if it can also patch."
"There have been instances where technical support takes a long time to update the status of a ticket, which is something that can be improved."
"The integration with other solutions like JIRA could be better. Perhaps there could be some additional updates in the next phase that could integrate with it, so then you can proceed with the VT much easier."
"Within InsightVM, there is no feature to assign a ticket. If we can have more API calls, we can do that from InsightVM."
"I would say that it improved our visibility, but it left things open."
"There was functionality present previously, however, currently, we can't integrate directly with Jira Service Desk - only the cloud version."
"The solution should include a tighter integration with third-party threat modeling and threat intelligence tools."
"The reporting is a little bit tricky because it can be difficult to exactly pinpoint some of the assets to filter them and generate a report."
