We performed a comparison between Forescout Platform and Trend Micro Apex One based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Compliance solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Forescout is easy to integrate with a lot of end systems."
"The initial setup is quite simple. It's not too complex or difficult to set up."
"Vulnerability remediation is valuable. We can narrow down a system and its properties. We can go granular on the properties of each endpoint, such as which operating system you're using."
"Within three or four days, we have complete visibility of your infrastructure on the network. Compared to other solutions, the deployment of the solution is easier and we can close the project quickly."
"It allows for good detection of all the vendor products we have on-site."
"The visibility is the main benefit. We now know how many devices are connected, what the use for each device is and what kind of devices we have in our environment."
"The plugins are very robust -- the ability scanner, patch management system, and SQL integrator."
"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 AI and machine learning feature is the most valuable because it helps mitigate threats based on an organization's behavioral patterns."
"When comparing to other products the console is much more user-friendly, and it's easy to implement."
"The XDR feature which provides us with real visibility into our environment is the most valuable."
"I like Apex One's playbooks because they make it easier to set rules and policies. You can customize the playbooks and use them in more than one company. If you manage multiple businesses, it's a great way to set separate policies for each group. You can check for vulnerabilities, attacks, bugs, or anything strange. It also allows you to conduct performance analysis."
"Apex One is effective at catching malicious activity. It has multiple modules that improve threat prevention across hundreds of networks."
"Vulnerability management is a valuable feature that I enjoy."
"It is updated automatically without much intervention from our side. We can also get some reports easily."
"I have opened three tickets with the technical support and they were responsive and asked me to send them my logs."
"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 isn't flexible with connections to devices like printers and forces you to re-enter details like the MAC address after any breakdowns."
"In the next release of the solution, it could benefit from being more flexible to allow for more freedom."
"The solution's customer support is bad and should be improved."
"The fact that Forescout Platform doesn't have a presence in the South African region is a weakness because of which you can't ask for help from them if you have any problems."
"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."
"The solution could always improve by adding more features to make it more robust."
"Other solutions have TACACS+, but Forescout does not. In the next release, I would like to see Forescout have accounting."
"The solution could improve by making the interface less confusing, it needs to be simplified."
"Trend Micro Apex One should have a DLP (Data loss prevention) module."
"Apex One could use some updates to its UI, threat modeling, and insights. I would like to see better integration with helpdesk platforms and more AI-driven features."
"The solution could be improved by providing better training to the vendors."
"The integration could improve in this solution."
"Its pricing should be improved. In some cases, the user interface was not ready for our proof of concept. It wasn't a beta phase service."
"The tool needs to improve its dashboard so that all the products can be managed from a single console."
"Apex One's threat and vulnerability management has room for improvement."
