Overall, the visibility, automation, and integration capabilities make it a strong and reliable solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Forescout Platform? One area that could be improved is the complexity of initial configuration and policy tuning. It requires careful planning, and sometimes even small policy changes need thorough testing to avoid disruption. The interface, while powerful, can feel a bit overwhelming for new users. Reporting could also be more customizable out of the box. Additionally, upgrades sometimes require more effort than expected. These are not good, but simplifying these aspects would make the overall experience even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
