Forescout 4D Platform Likes & Dislikes

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.

Centralized management and intuitive dashboard interface.

Forescout NAC integrates very easily with our networking infrastructure, so we were able to focus on inventory and discovery and not on the deployment phase. We use Meraki as our telco equipment.

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

The support of the fore scouts can be somewhat ambiguous.

The support area is not very specialized so he is not able to answer most of the common problems, talking about Forescout functions. We are facing some issues with the captive portal provided capabilities
