Broadcom DX Unified Infrastructure Management vs. Forescout Vistaro Platform

I've been really happy with the amount of performance data and reporting options that I've been able to get out of UIM. Performance hardware statistics take no more than a few mouse clicks. Also, as mentioned in the pros section, deployment and configuration is very intuitive and easy.

I strongly recommend using it in networks where many machines enter, it is essential to have a capture of all ids, mac etc to prevent and detect unauthorized machines.We are in the technological era and there is a lot of technological robotization looking for weak systems to enter.Invest in greater security and that does not happen to you.

• Server performance can be done exceptionally well with UIM. It monitors various OS flavors: POSIX (Aix, HPUX, Linux, Solaris, zLinux), and Windows.
• With just a handful of probe s(CDM, NTevl, NTservices, NTperf, processes, logmon) your dashboards can be populated within minutes after installation of the product and discovering servers. One particular feature I like is MCS which allows you to perform template based monitoring which allows for implementing standards and including exceptions.
• The SNMP collector monitors anything that is SNMP capable. With the ability to build a template out of templates here as well, you can standardize monitoring by device, vendor, or model regardless of device type: routers, switches, storage, load balancers, etc.
• The UMP is the presentation layer. Without OOTB dashboards, you see quickly how your environment is performing. And with true multi-tenancy, you can separate data by customer.

Incentivized

• Great in monitoring what applications versions are running and on what devices.
• Good identification of unmanaged devices and segregating them.
• Endpoint visibility.

Incentivized

• The use of flash in Dashboards
• Integration with more alert options (Slack, for example), out of the box
• Fast deploy also in the mainstream Linux Distros.

Incentivized

• Grow the Forescout community to help in addressing concern for a larger audience via channels
• More training and demos for latest FS versions released
• GUI can be made more interactive and aesthetic in appearance

They are prompt in their response with a complete resolution once they have identified the problem. Other OEM's generally give stop-gap arrangements and then later come with new upgrade versions. This gives downtime tasks to customers often, which isn't appreciated. Given the criticality of this software, their support is prompt.

Basically, these other tools were easy to setup, I think sometimes even more that Nimsoft in some scenarios. But after you need to expand the size of the environment, or in big environments, for me, Nimsoft is the tool that allows you to grow with them. All of the other tools start to present problems in the database. When you need to think in bigger machines or start to "code inside the tool" to solve some performance problems, and other problems that appear. Nimsoft comes with a big set of documentation, and the support really works, as fast as you need, even as higher as you pay.

CounterACT was the product that was able to do exactly what we were looking to accomplish and that was to block non-company owned devices from connecting to our network based on our criteria. It will allow us to decide if a blocked device should be allowed on our network temporarily

• Low cost of ownership allows us to pass along the savings to our clients
• As an MSP we are delivering support to our clients with a tool that does not add much to their monthly contract costs

• We have been able to achieve deeper levels of security.
• It has been able to counter most threats through the detection of rogue devices and segregating them.
• Fostered accountability as guests' devices is signed in by employees so as to track activities they may be undertaking.
