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.

Cons	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 Incentivized HT Harmesh Trivedi Project Lead Read full review	The browser plugin needs some work, or some research about what browser/OS restrictions may limit its functionality. Ours does not work at all even after contacting support so we do not use it Toast/Windows notifications scheduled or deployed through admin center would be amazing. The ability to remind a user who has been disconnected for X hours would be a great feature Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	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. Incentivized HT Harmesh Trivedi Project Lead Read full review	No answers on this topic
