"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."
"Provides a good overview of all devices on a network."
"We think it's simple. We think it's very useful and we really like reports and everything."
"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 802.1X compliance authentication feature of this solution is very good."
"The most valuable features of the Forescout Platform are ease of management and outstanding visibility. The visibility is simple to obtain."
"The stability is amazing for the Forescout Platform. We have been using Forescout for four years, and no one complained about the stability."
"This is a solid and stable solution."
"From an application perspective, this solution is stable."
"You can scale the product."
"It's pretty stable, and I don't have any problems with it."
"The initial setup is very good."
"This solution is very stable."
"The initial setup is easy. Our clients use the FortiClient EMS, which is the central console for installing FortiClient. It is easy and very user friendly."
"It supports securely connections for VPN users from outside our environment during the lockdown."
"The ability to block external devices in Mac is lacking and needs to be added."
"When adding what is in scope to a policy, it would be nice if you could select multiple policies instead of one policy at a time to add what is in the scope for network segmentation. I have found that during the install and configuration of the policies that if you want to modify multiple policies or enable multiple policies that you need to define what is in the scope (IP range or segments) one rule at a time. This caused some slow downs when implementing policies."
"Can be expensive if it's only being used for one feature."
"Forescout needs to upgrade its development in the future."
"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."
"We experienced some detection issues when checking compliance for the Sophos agent."
"They should improve features related to IT security. ForeScout should analyze behavior to see if the behavior is malicious behavior and block this device. They should develop the ability to analyze the behavior of the device in my environment."
"The cost is too high."
"The quality and response time of the support team must be improved."
"There isn't much to improve in terms of features and comparison with other vendors. It just needs to stay more up to date in catching the malware. The user interface may be improved, which would be a minor enhancement. Unlike central management, in endpoint security, the end users don't need to keep looking at the endpoint user interface. The technology is the most important thing in endpoint security."
"Fortinet FortiClient should improve its visibility of the consumption of traffic and end-user action, which is very low."
"More integration would be beneficial."
"I have yet to find the benefits of the latest upgraded version."
"The solution could be more secure. I would like to see more safety features."
"It has a horrible performance. It is one of the most unstable VPNs I have ever used."
"Compatibility issues between different versions."
