Performance of Forescout 4D Platform Across Market Features

Forescout 4D Platform Likes & Dislikes

You have true agentless visibility of across your IT, OT, IoT and IoMT devices so it's great for discovering unknown assets connected to your network, the product applies zero trust principles across every asset so implements strong access control and you can automate the control, segmentation and response so it requires less man power from your security team than usual so they can focus their efforts elsewhere.

Centralized management and intuitive dashboard interface.

The ability to scale and grow the tool based on our standards and our overall network design. ForeScout is as powerful as you make it.

it's quite complex to deploy and tune especially on large and diverse environments for bigger businesses, subscription costs can be expensive for larger estates and it does require a lot of man power to set up and install - you may require professional services to do it which can be costly.

The support of the fore scouts can be somewhat ambiguous.

The product doesn't have a predictive model baked into the NAC system. There is Telemtry data between firewalls, end points, servers, systems, everything that ForeScout can see and there is nothing built where ForeScout can get predictive in threat prevention. Then execute of that credible source and through automation protect networks
