When I got here, they already had this product in place, so I was not part of the final decision, but after using this for a couple of years, I can say that it was an intelligent decision for the business!!

Heterogeneous compatibility with switches and other network infrastructure setup is a major advantage. There are many companies where there is a legacy network combined with different OEM deployed. Integration of network devices like switches, FW, routers, AP's gives complete …
Chose Forescout Platform
We selected CounterACT because it didn't require 802.1x and it didn't require any switch upgrades. To use 802.1x we would have to assume all endpoints are guilty until proven innocent. With CounterACT we can detect quickly if endpoints are not compliant and remediate without …

I'd suggest that Perimeter81 is recommended when you want something that is easy to administrate, with little maintenance, unlike a VPN/secure network that you host and manage internally. We've had incidents when there has been downtime at Perimeter81, which has effectively locked us out of some of our secure services (anything locked down via IP). They have made improvements to their infrastructure and it seems to have improved in recent months, but this is something to keep in mind for critical connections

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.

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.
