Arun Chauhan - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides a very good vulnerability monitoring system, but the implementation is challenging
We face many issues while implementing Armis in the pharma sector. Some of the customer applications are not supported well by the tool. The applications do not communicate well if we implement Armis. We generally face such issues during implementation. We are planning to implement the product in the wind energy sector, but we don't have any idea how to do it. Currently, it is a very big challenge for us. Products like Dragos, Claroty, and Nozomi provide a much better experience during implementation. If any issues arise, we are told how to resolve such issues during the POC. Armis does not provide the secure remote access feature Claroty provides.
Odai Halawani - PeerSpot reviewer
It's an easy and effective solution, especially for device profiling without agents
Forescout Platform's most valuable aspect is its excellent device profiling for devices without agents, which is crucial for our work due to challenges with agent-based devices. Its isolation and blocking actions are particularly effective for network security. The device compliance feature helps us ensure device compliance through immediate actions like updating antivirus software. We have already integrated Forescout with antivirus and vulnerability assessment tools, allowing it to monitor vulnerability scores and automatically isolate devices if critical vulnerabilities are detected.
