We performed a comparison between Armis and Forescout Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IoT Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of the solution is asset tracking."
"The technology is good."
"The tool is user-friendly and helps to detect vulnerabilities."
"Armis is a straightforward and user-friendly solution."
"Forescout Platform's best feature is plug-in integration."
"It's one of the tools that has given the federal government visibility into network devices and everything."
"The product is very easy to work with and easy to deploy."
"The most valuable features of ForeScout is the fact that it can do network access control either with 802.1x or without 802.1x."
"Forescout Platform has made it possible to block people working near our construction sites who should not have access to our network."
"The most valuable feature is the blocking of USB devices."
"I can integrate Forescout with products from multiple vendors in my environment, and also, the integration is searchable. It can be used with 802.1X and non-802.1X to integrate with my existing network. I don't need to upgrade any existing networks in my system, and I don't need to replace existing devices to integrate with Forescout. I find value in not having to spend money upgrading existing devices and networks."
"Forescout CounterACT has allowed us to better open our access and control wireless access globally from our HQ. This allows us to monitor the network access for every office globally. This has improved overall security, reducing risk and opening up the opportunity to provide greater end user flexibility."
"Armis doesn't have a back intel feature."
"We face difficulties in integrating the product with ticketing tools like ServiceNow."
"We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"The solution's vulnerability testing could be improved."
"I should be able to integrate my Forescout with any other third party security technology, to build that connected security strategy."
"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."
"Can be expensive if it's only being used for one feature."
"As a user, if I am using a laptop that is Wi-Fi connected, Forescout identifies my port connectivity as one user license, and if I take that same laptop with the same username to a wired network, which is also the same network that is used for the Wi-Fi connection, Forescout detects it as a separate license."
"The solution needs more definitive pricing. The costs are hard to nail down."
"The ability to block external devices in Mac is lacking and needs to be added."
"Initially, the implementation of the Forescout Platform took some time to figure out. The reason is we are a manufacturing unit and we have certain silos that are insulated areas where certain systems will not connect to the internet or to the LAN. Since there are many parts of it, we have to have an inclusive view of all those systems. It took a while for us to initially implement, but after a few months, everything worked well."
"It does not support the TACACS+ protocol."
