Sr. Security Engineer at Topvision | 4.5 | I find Forescout Platform invaluable for monitoring and managing devices, excelling in agentless device profiling and network security actions. However, its reporting needs improvement. Despite good support from our distributor, direct Forescout support is less proactive. |
Head of data centers at a non-profit with 10,001+ employees | 5.0 | I use the Forescout Platform to configure policies for internal security, finding its ability to block users lacking updates invaluable. However, it lacks integration with some firewalls and support for certain Chinese devices, which needs improvement. |
Senior Network Engineer at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees | 3.5 | I use the Forescout Platform for security in the banking and insurance industry, focusing on compliance enforcement for connected devices. While effective, I suggest enhancing technical support due to time zone challenges, possibly by providing Asia Pacific-based engineers. |
Business Development Account Manager at Xenia Network Solutions | 4.0 | We primarily use the Forescout Platform to enhance network security with automated policy enforcement being particularly valuable. Improvements are needed in customer support and scalability. Forescout's pricing was more appealing compared to Nozomi, prompting our choice. |
System Administrator at Alghanim Industries | 4.0 | I find the Forescout Platform's ease of implementation particularly valuable, as it effectively identifies and isolates outdated servers to enhance security. While it doesn't provide a direct ROI, it contributes to a more secure and reliable environment. |
Senior Tech Consultant at Ministry of Finance, UAE | 4.5 | We use the Forescout Platform for device visibility and control, finding it effective for tracking vulnerabilities and building a zero-trust architecture. However, the support response is slow, and challenges exist with multiple sites and integration with other security tools. |
