ISE vs Forescout

[mohamed-farid]

Dear All,

I am facing a lot of competition from Forescout these days specially when it's bundled with Palo Alto Firewalls.

Does anyone have a good and trusted comparison against the solution and its weakness ?

I got something but it was old and I am not sure it's applicable too !

Thank you,,

If you are a Cisco Partner, you should be able to pick up some competitive information for Forescout from the Cisco Communities Security Page. If you are not a partner or do not have access, you should be able to get the same information through your Cisco SE or Accounts Manager.

The battle card here is not reflecting a new comparison aspects where ForeScout is doing very well with some of my clients in the POCs.

I know that ISE is much better but I need killer points to help me in the competition.

Hi Mohamed,

It's been quite sometime and there is no response to your request, I am also stuck in exactly same situation where I need to pinpoint very clear differentiators for Cisco ISE as killer points to throw out the ForeScout competition.

How did you manage with your customer cases, kindly advise as the public reports and other 3rd party reports available online are mostly in ForeScout favor, except that Cisco has a bigger market because of the routing/switching huge customer base which of course tightly integrates with it's solutions.

Thanks,
