We performed a comparison between Forescout Platform and Rapid7 InsightVM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."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."
"Its feature that I have found most valuable is that it is very granular. You can configure granular controls just as you want those policies to be implemented. It gives you that flexibility to go granular in how you want your controls to be implemented. That's something I like about it."
"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 user interface is quite simple."
"The actions that the agentless visibility, allow us to perform on the endpoint, are really amazing, especially in the way that it is done."
"The plugins are very robust -- the ability scanner, patch management system, and SQL integrator."
"We really like that we get full visibility of devices in the local network."
"Ease of deployment There's a great support team that becomes actively engaged whenever we encounter issues. Their technical support is amazing. Good documentation is available. The product is stable. The solution is highly scalable. I recommend using the solution because it gives verified control over the environment. It has a great visibility feature."
"We are very satisfied with the reports, as they provide us with the information that is required for our management."
"The ease of deployment and configuration allows users to onboard quickly."
"The solution works well."
"I like Rapid7's scan optimization options."
"The risk score that they provide makes it easier to find out the biggest risks. It helped the security officers to understand where the biggest risks are so that they can act on them. They can instruct their IT teams to give them a higher priority and mitigate them."
"We feel the interface is very good. It is very easy to use, even a nontechnical person can use it."
"NeXpose is a pretty good vulnerability scanner... There's a nice dashboard."
"I rate InsightVM eight out of 10 for ease of setup. It takes two or three engineers to deploy. The solution requires some maintenance. It's mainly cleaning up data."
"Custom integrations need to be better."
"The biggest disadvantage is the pricing."
"The solution does have a bit of complexity, and there's some complexity in the deployment. Users need to be trained before undertaking an initial setup."
"The reporting feature needs improvement."
"The product needs to improve its support. I know a case that dragged on for about one and a half years. They eventually suggested professional services and closed the ticket. We followed their advice, engaging the account manager and professional service team, only to discover that the issue was a bug. After reopening the case, it's been about six months, and the problem still hasn't been resolved."
"The initial setup was complex."
"We experienced some detection issues when checking compliance for the Sophos agent."
"Can be expensive if it's only being used for one feature."
"I would say that it improved our visibility, but it left things open."
"The on-premise updates could improve from Rapid7 InsightVM."
"InsightVM could be improved by providing passive scanning as an option."
"The reporting is a little bit tricky because it can be difficult to exactly pinpoint some of the assets to filter them and generate a report."
"They should integrate the solution with multiple products."
"In order to be able to properly test the solution and make a decision, I would like to receive the test license code instantly and eliminate the wait time."
"The drawback is that it is still not a fully SaaS solution, so you must deploy a console."
"It would be great to have a mobile application client. Currently, you have to use a mobile web browser on a device, but it is not similar to the desktop web browser in terms of user experience. It would be nice to have a mobile application to access the platform."
