Forescout Platform Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are giving greater triple layer security to our networks within the company, Forescout Continuum generates recent support for what we do at a programmatic level, the biggest challenge we had with the company was to be able to stabilize the knowledge of dangerous points that had to be vilndar to avoid intrusions from other networks, separate sectors so that departments of a site cannot enter files of others without authorization, Forescout Continuum has allowed us to learn more and solve more than enough.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We utilize its visibility capabilities to monitor and protect our network from unauthorized devices as it segregates rogue devices and ensures only company-owned assets are connected. Also it makes sure it can recognize what versions of applications are running on what devices at all times and mitigate risks that may come by.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's quite a resourceful product especially when it comes to managing your compliance and visibility in the organization. Detection of threats and mitigating risks that may be involved with rogue devices accessing the company network. Your organization is able to tell what versions of applications are running on what devices and thus if updates or switching applications are needed they are up to the task.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It has helped with protecting our organizations data from unauthorized devices that may try to connect to our network.

It has also enabled us in keeping separate devices not owned by the organization that connect to our network by putting them in a guest network where the guests registrations are signed by the employee they are visiting.

Likelihood to Recommend

Works great in ensuring that only company owned assets are connected to the network and segregating those unauthorized devices by ensuring they connect to a separate guest network where the guests registrations are signed in by the employee they are visiting thus ensuring there are proper trails that can be followed incase of threats or anything else.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have employed Forescout Platform counterACT to mainly provide visibility and automated control across all devices connected to our network. It verifies the compliance of the devices with our IT security and administrative mandate. Forescout Platform CounterACT prevents unauthorized devices from connecting into our network safeguarding our data and systems from any malicious activities from the outside.

Likelihood to Recommend

It has straightforward integration with end point security platforms; for verifying devices compliance for endpoint guidelines. Its network access control allows us privileged visibility to devices on our network and only authorized devices can connect to our network. It is ideal for large scale IT companies that need to protect their networks from external attacks.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We procured Forescout Counteract to gain comprehensive 360-degree visibility of the assets that make up our digital architecture. We use it to view the connected assets' statuses and run assessments on them from time to time. We also utilize it extensively to automate security across both in-house IoT and IoMT for our healthcare-based clients. By gaining sufficient context of our digital assets ecosystem from the single Counteract UI, we can respond to security risks more effectively as opposed to independent monitoring.

Likelihood to Recommend

Forescout has been robust enough to mediate security threats on our IT ecosystem (servers for the most part) with impressive automation capabilities. It has resourceful risk scoring algorithms that prioritize critical assets for security protocols, unlike its competitors. It's suitable for the protection of your digital terrain despite the size by continuously running assessments that will go a long way in neutralizing the impact of security breaches. Forescout has however frustrated our teams with the policy-based controls- it isolates devices unnecessarily while eliminating threats.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Forescout Platform (CounterACT) is able to discover and monitor wide range of asset inventory in the organization. Besides, it is also able to improve the workforce productivity and simplify the administration tasks. With the advanced automation feature, it also helps to reduce the operational and business risk significantly as it has eliminated any potential human errors.

Likelihood to Recommend

Forescount Platform (CounterACT) provides multiple active and passive monitoring techniques which can be very flexible. Integration with other third-party products such as Cisco ACI, AWS and others can be complex and may required expertise to facilitate. Besides, it is also capable to perform asset discovery for OT and IoT environments.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use CounterACT to manage all other NAC across all our sites, and we used this for detection and mitigation on Layer 2 switches only at this time but the plan is to start to use it for remediations also!

Likelihood to Recommend

CounterACT is really good central management for NAC, easy to use but honestly little bit hard to customize but once you get this done is a really powerful tool

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Forescout CounterACT is used throughout the organization. Business problems it addresses are the compliance criteria of endpoints in organization. This is a mandatory requirement from regulatory bodies.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited in Banking industry and other enterprise companies where it is difficult to manage visibility and compliance in an organization. Telecom companies and IT companies also benefit a lot to get deeper into their network and stop the attack traversing in their network. Dashboards help management to get the complete picture and can be focused on concern points where there are a lot of non-domain systems, non-compliant systems, guests systems, etc.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

CounterAct is used to protect our network from unauthorized devices connecting to our network. We use it to ensure that only authorized and company owned assets are able to connect. We also use it to enable a guest network and move unauthorized machines to our guest network where we use the CounterACT guest registration system to enforce guest registration. Guest registration requires that a guest is approved by the employee they are visiting.

Likelihood to Recommend

ForeScout is great on a network where you have authorized assets are able to authenticate to them. If you have a mixed environment where you can't authenticate to devices it is probably less appropriate.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Forescout CounterAct is being used by the IT department. The main reason behind the purchase of Forescout was for Network Access Control. We wanted to make sure any device connected to our network that was not property of our company to be segregated off our company network and pushed directly to a separate network with only internet access.

Likelihood to Recommend

ForeScout CounterACT is well suited for a company looking to strengthen their network security. It has allowed us to be confident that there is not a rogue device connecting directly into our network to gain access to company information. It may not be suitable to a company with a small IT department as it does require time up front to initially configure and on an on-going basis to manage.
