Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Forescout and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."Forescout is easy to integrate with a lot of end systems."
"Provides a good overview of all devices on a network."
"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."
"The interface is easy to use."
"It allows for good detection of all the vendor products we have on-site."
"We think it's simple. We think it's very useful and we really like reports and everything."
"The scalability is good."
"The most valuable features of the Forescout Platform are NAC for sharing, Network Access Control, and port sharing of the devices."
"The solution is one of the most, if not the most, stable product available."
"We use Tenable to scan all of our environments and plugins for vulnerabilities. Tenable helps us discover network vulnerabilities to threats and piracy."
"The most valuable features of Tenable SC are the reports and the dashboards."
"Compliance and vulnerability scans are most valuable. Compliance scan helps in validating how our teams are complying, and vulnerability scan helps in future-proofing. Its vulnerability detection is accurate."
"I found the dashboard features very useful. It made it easy to track remediation progress. I could publish dashboards to remediation teams and track the progress on the dashboards."
"Initial setup was pretty straightforward."
"This product has the best results in terms of the lowest number of false-positives and false-negatives."
"The most valuable feature of the product is the Assurance Report Card, which gives us an overview of the security poster in just a simple glance."
"Forescout Platform isn't flexible with connections to devices like printers and forces you to re-enter details like the MAC address after any breakdowns."
"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."
"Can be expensive if it's only being used for one feature."
"Search - needs boolean functionality (or pseudo operand now working)."
"Other solutions have TACACS+, but Forescout does not. In the next release, I would like to see Forescout have accounting."
"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."
"The system controls could be better."
"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."
"The product should provide risk-based vulnerability management."
"The solution is expensive."
"The web application is not very functional."
"We experienced some difficulties with the solution’s support."
"The user interface can be improved."
"The product could be user-friendly, and they could enhance the web application's security features."
"The solution's user interface has some issues."
"Tenable.sc's user interface could be improved."
