"This solution can be used to organize guest portals, integrate switches, and create policies. Some of its standard use cases also include completing key process upgrades and anti-virus of Windows OS."
"The user management has been very easy for the most part."
"Its feature that I have found most valuable is that it is very granular. You can configure granular controls just as you want those policies to be implemented. It gives you that flexibility to go granular in how you want your controls to be implemented. That's something I like about it."
"It's one of the tools that has given the federal government visibility into network devices and everything."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment, which does not require the use of an agent."
"The scalability is good."
"The stability is amazing for the Forescout Platform. We have been using Forescout for four years, and no one complained about the stability."
"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 pricing is very reasonable and you can negotiate on the price."
"Sophos' technical support is great, very fast and responsive, and they always know how to fix the problem."

"The wifi control is fantastic and makes it very easy to administer."
"It is intuitive in the sense that I don't have to struggle with the configuration."
"I believe that the overall user experience has not always been preferable."
"The licensing costs are quite high. With the amount of hardware we have, we need too many licenses to make the product effective and it's ultimately just too costly."
"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."
"This solution is not that easy to scale but this depends on a company's needs."
"The installation is not secure because it takes high admin privileges."
"Can be expensive if it's only being used for one feature."
"The reporting feature needs improvement."
"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."
"I would say that anything that makes it easier to use and obtain statistics and metrics on any issue is always welcome. Anything that provides more information or insights into what is going on on the network would be beneficial."
"The interface on the cloud could be a bit better - just to give more performance on it."
"In order to provide better management, it would be ideal with they offered better plugins for their firewall."
"I would like to see mobile administration capabilities in the next release so that we can administer the device from a mobile device."
"An area that could be improved is the information about licensing, which is fairly confusing at present."
