Appgate SDP vs. Forescout Platform

I would recommend AppGate SDP to anyone that has fairly clear cut use cases for systems with user access with less than 5K resources per user. We found it works well in those cases and fully as advertised. The application can easily hide applications and resources from unauthorized access and is a reliable tool in your ZeroTrust arsenal.

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.

• Software-Defined perimeter
• Hide resources to non-authorized/authenticated users.

Incentivized

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

Incentivized

• Live logging in the client. Currently you have to "download" the logs into a zip file and then open that zipfile to look at the logs. There's no logfile to tail or watch.
• Load balancing between controllers could be better. Currently relies on round robin DNS and sometimes a browser will pick a different IP than previous and you'll get a big "LOST CONNECTION TO CONTROLLER" message.

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

The company has been supportive overall of our needs and desired features. I have not personally called the support services, but I've heard no direct complaints either.

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.

The existing system was FortiGate. The management of the system was a hassle. Because IT personnel had to manually create VPN accounts, user passwords were known to who created them and the end user did not have a way to change them. This created a security issue in the event an IT engineer left the company.

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

Incentivized

• It freed up IT personnel time. No longer did they have to manually create the account on the VPN endpoint and manually install the client or create VPN profiles on the employees computer.

Incentivized

• 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.
