We can go granular on each endpoint, quarantine non-compliant machines, and target vulnerabilities through scripting
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. We don't use ISE, but based on what we heard from the users we've reached out to who do use ISE, the logging capabilities of ISE are better, and troubleshooting is so much easier with ISE than it is with Forescout. It doesn't have a lot of end-user support after the purchase of the license. There is no training either for Forescout. That's something that it's lacking. We need refresher training. The vendors came out and trained us whenever we first set up Forescout, but we have people coming and going all the time. There are some things that we wish that it would do. We use ACAS, which is a reporting tool that scans our network and then lets us know what kind of vulnerabilities are on the network. It would be nice if there was a way to connect Forescout. I know ISE connects with our configuration management tools to push patches and things like that out to a large array of machines. With Forescout, we can push some patches out, but it can't handle anything on a large scale. So, we wish that Forescout would be able to handle more and connect to some of the other tools that we use. We have 15 different tools that do pretty much the same thing but in a different way to get a good picture of our network. It would be nice if we can condense that down or have something that is a central hub-type tool that can reach out to some of our other tools, compile the data better, and have that data in one place.

Continuously adapts to threats, uses machine learning, and integrates well
Trend Micro Apex One has been doing a good job protecting our endpoints against malware and malicious scripts. We have not had to deal with any threats. Apex One boasts advanced protection capabilities that continuously adapt to safeguard against previously unknown and deceptive new threats. The ability to adapt to evolving threats is crucial, especially considering the surge in new variants, including zero-day attacks. It detects ransomware using machine learning. This capability is important to defend against ransomware attacks. The solution provides a single console for cross-layer detection for threat hunting and investigations. This is particularly helpful for gaining visibility across multiple platforms. Apex One is integrated with our other security products. It is easy to learn. Updating the solution is also easy. I have experience with previous versions of Trend Micro so for me administering Apex One is easy. Apex One has protected our organization from threats. Apex One provides virtual patching before patches are available for the source of the issue. The virtual patching helps minimize risk until the patch is ready. Since using Apex One, we have seen a reduction in viruses and malware by 50 percent. We use Apex One as a service and this has helped save our staff five percent of their time. Apex One has reduced our administrative overhead by five percent.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It allows for good detection of all the vendor products we have on-site."
"This is clearly the best product for the NAC use cases in this field for Forescout."
"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 Forescout Platform's most valuable features include its agentless configuration, which allows for easy integration with switches, and its broad customizability of rules and conditions for policy configuration. By leveraging its Network Access Control capabilities, the tool controls network access, allowing administrators to enforce policies tailored to the organization's needs."
"The product is very easy to work with and easy to deploy."
"The stability is amazing for the Forescout Platform. We have been using Forescout for four years, and no one complained about the stability."
"The best parts of Forescout Platform are its orchestration features, discovery capabilities, classification buckets, and flexibility in creating policies."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment, which does not require the use of an agent."
"The ease of deployment is one of its most valuable features."
"Its reporting and dashboard are valuable. Its dashboard is easy to use."
"Its ability to detect ransomware and malware is the most valuable. Its protection is also good."
"The solution is stable and integrated into the system quite well."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the endpoint security with the zero-day vulnerability. They have an on-premise sandboxing solution which prevents any of those zero-day vulnerability issues."
"It is available on our OS platform and will automatically scan our machines daily or weekly."
"We've been able to integrate the solution with other security products."
"The web console is quite helpful, as is the visibility view for deployment. Updates do things like Device Control Management, which I can control."
 

Cons

"This solution is not that easy to scale but this depends on a company's needs."
"It does not support the TACACS+ protocol."
"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."
"The solution's customer support is bad and should be improved."
"We experienced some detection issues when checking compliance for the Sophos agent."
"I believe that the overall user experience has not always been preferable."
"The product may not yield any return on investment since it is only used to make your environment more reliable and secure."
"Forescout Platform sometimes returns false positives, so there's some fine-tuning to be done there."
"Trend Micro Apex One could improve by providing signatureless detection, reducing the agent's needed system resources to increase performance, and enhance further the vulnerability assessment feature. These changes would be very helpful in the future."
"Trend Micro should make the agent lighter. When we run the scanning process, it consumes a lot of memory, and the performance is degraded. It is very invasive. It could be lighter. When we used Symantec, we didn't have this problem when we ran our scanning process. It worked like a charm. On the endpoints, it didn't feel like that the process is running, whereas, in Trend Micro Apex One, we can feel that the endpoint is running slow. Sometimes it even hangs. Scanning should be faster."
"We have to manually log in to the machines and give them an update command."
"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 policies tend to be a bit more complex to set up, so we do need some expertise in setting up the policies."
"The time required for Apex One to notify us of detection in the central console should be reduced."
"The cost could be improved."
"We sometimes face issues with policies and rules while working with Apex One. They sometimes do not work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Forescout is more expensive than Cisco because Cisco gives high discounts."
"Forescout's pricing is noted for its attractiveness, with potential discounts depending on partnership levels."
"The price of the Forescout Platform is expensive. I purchased it for approximately 94 lakhs."
"The price of Forescout is reasonable when compared to Cisco ISE."
"We might have paid in the ballpark of $20,000 yearly for our licenses. I do not recall there being other fees over and above the standard licensing fee."
"We have a very clear licensing model for business. I don't have to have a Ph.D. to be able to understand the licensing model as you might need for other solutions. If I know exactly what we want, it can tell you which license you need. The solution is easy for purchasing, ordering, and ease of deployment as well."
"There are no additional costs that I am aware of."
"It is expensive because you have to pay for their CSM, the customer's access manager, and their professional services on top of that, and they charge you roughly $400 per hour, which is overhead."
"On a yearly basis, it's about $50,000. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The pricing is reasonable and depends on user count."
"Currently, the price for Trend Micro Apex One is good and there are no extra costs attached."
"Apex One is expensive but we manage to work with the cost."
"There is a license for this solution and it can be paid for monthly or annually."
"The license is expensive but it is a complete solution."
"Trend Micro Apex One's pricing is good."
"From a commercial aspect, it is a bit higher compared to other market products."
