The asset management, vulnerability management and alert response parts worked very well. these 3 sections on which I carry out my activities with the customer are well divided and clear, with many filter options. From an asset detection point of view I think Forescout can improve its capabilities.

Performance of Forescout 4D Platform Across Market Features

Forescout 4D Platform Likes & Dislikes

Ease of use Interface It has the right number of buttons (not too many as the competitors have) All menu items have the right information and it is very flexible in filtering. Menus are clearly focused on the main OT monitoring activities (asset management, vulnerability management, incident response)

Functionality, analytic reports.

1. Ease of Use and Intuitive 2. Low rate of False Positives 3. Thought Leadership and Innovative

- Asset mapping is not as accurate as other competitor solutions - Not clear what each plugin does - Not clear why sometimes the monitoring interface has a warning status - Remediation actions can be more specific

Their support is their biggest weakness.
