Pricing varies based on the deployment scale and selected features, and often involves annual or multi-year terms which may include maintenance and support services as part of the subscription.

Forescout 4D Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

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.

Like

Centralized management and intuitive dashboard interface.

Like

It provides continuous control over all connected devices. It permits a fast vulnerability identification of assets, and ensures compliance across comprex and hybrid environments with good incident response capabilities.

Dislike

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

Dislike

The support of the fore scouts can be somewhat ambiguous.

Dislike

Our experience with support was not ideal. Some delays on responses from technical support was a not possitive point.
