It's an easy and effective solution, especially for device profiling without agents
Forescout Platform works as our next-gen solution, helping us monitor and manage devices connected or disconnected from the network. Additionally, it assists in remediating noncompliant devices Forescout Platform's most valuable aspect is its excellent device profiling for devices without agents,…

Provides great visibility, saves us time, and integrates well
The dashboard provides great visibility into our risk profile. We receive a daily email report that outlines our risk score and identifies the machines with the highest risk. This information is based on usage patterns, vulnerabilities, and non-compliance issues. This helps us prioritize which machines require patching or further investigation. Drilling down further, we can analyze how our users are utilizing their workstations, including the websites they visit. While we don't track specific website URLs, we can categorize website types and identify any potentially risky or inappropriate usage patterns. This allows us to proactively address any potential security concerns. For instance, we identified a user who was using ChatGPT for work-related tasks. This flagged our system, and we were able to discuss the user's usage of ChatGPT to gain a better understanding of how our users are working and identify any areas that require additional attention.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Forescout Platform has made it possible to block people working near our construction sites who should not have access to our network."
"The threat prevention feature provides complete visibility."
"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."
"The initial setup is easy, taking no more than two or three weeks."
"We think it's simple. We think it's very useful and we really like reports and everything."
"I help customers use the Forescout Platform for compliance enforcement. We can specify what needs to be installed on devices connecting to the network, like antivirus, updates, and security software."
"The initial setup is quite simple. It's not too complex or difficult to set up."
"Forescout Platform's best feature is plug-in integration."
"Drilling down further, we can analyze how our users are utilizing their workstations, including the websites they visit."
"Its detection rate is valuable. It is really an easy product to install and manage. It is quite effective at what it does, and if needed, it can also be co-managed, which means 24 hours and seven days a week monitoring through a SOC."
"It helps us with investigations."
"One of the features I like in Trend Micro XDR is that you can drill down on the root-cause analysis for anything you find on the solution. I also like that it works for detection purposes. Behavior analytics is also what I like most about Trend Micro XDR. I love that it has features such as behavior detection, program detection, and memory scanning. By default, the solution protects against spyware, apart from the normal virus scan. Smart Scan and DLP are also available in Trend Micro XDR which I like as well."
"The telemetric report is the most valuable feature."
"Overall, I rate Trend Vision One a ten out of ten as I am extremely happy with Trend Micro's capabilities and their platform's strength."
"The most valuable features of Trend Vision One are its capabilities for XDR, EDR, MDR, and NDR, allowing for network detection and response."
"The automatic EDR system that notifies us when something is wrong is valuable."
 

Cons

"Forescout Platform isn't flexible with connections to devices like printers and forces you to re-enter details like the MAC address after any breakdowns."
"Forescout Platform could improve the costs of integrations."
"Forescout Platform needs to improve how the device works in preventing rogue servers."
"Forescout Platform could improve the integration or compatibility with other solutions, such as Chinese-made solutions. They do not have any integration with S33 which is a switch. They do not have good integration with new solutions in the market. They do integrate well with Rocket, Cisco, Juniper, and quite a few more but they could expand the integration."
"As a product, there is nothing to complain about. However, they should improve their overall support. You need that level of knowledge, that level of information is clearly not available. First and foremost, that information is not accessible. The second point to mention is that once you purchase the later support and services. That is, they will continue to charge you for every service."
"For improvements, I think technical support could be enhanced. The time zone difference makes remote support difficult - I'm in Indonesia, and they're in the US. Maybe the Forescout Platform could provide engineers from Asia Pacific."
"It does not support the TACACS+ protocol."
"They need to handle their Tier 1 cases differently. The biggest negative regarding Forescout is their support. Not having the ability to get instantly transferred to a support engineer for Tier 1 cases is pretty ridiculous."
"The solution could always be made to be more secure."
"They have a DLP module in Tredn Moicros and they need to enhance its capabilities."
"There are limitations in terms of threat response actions."
"There isn't a lot I'd do to change it. The web interface could be improved to sort of make it a little easier to manage multiple clients out of one location. It could also be made a bit easier to sort of manage the licensing side of it."
"We do use the automation capability a little. However, we noticed some limitations, especially on the playbook side."
"Trend Vision One has some usability issues."
"Reporting could be a little bit better. They are working on it, and it is getting better."
"I would like to have the capability to export the information we receive from the XDR into Microsoft Excel."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Forescout is more expensive than Cisco because Cisco gives high discounts."
"Devices with multiple IP's count multiple times against your license count."
"The product's pricing is reasonable."
"The fact that we were allowed to spin up as many servers as we had need of to support our geographic requirements while paying for licensing as an enterprise truly set Forescout apart from the crowd and improved the way we could design our access."
"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."
"I would rate Forescout Platform's pricing as four out of five."
"The price of the solution is reasonable. We have paid for the license for five years. We have integration with Symantec AV for orchestration, and we have an additional license."
"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."
"It's relatively well-priced."
"The solution is fairly priced."
"Trend Micro's licensing is outsourced to third-party vendors, resulting in price variations depending on the vendor."
"Trend Micro recently switched from a license-based pricing model to a credit system, which caused some initial frustration during my renewal."
"When I compare it to its peers that can do the same, it is cost-effective."
"Trend Micro XDR is expensive, and you have to pay for it yearly."
"The cost is considered fairly priced."
"The pricing for Trend Vision One is reasonable."
