We use the following criteria to evaluate this product:
Cost considerations
Forescout VM is licensed per device and sells add-on modules for cloud, OT and analytics, so total cost climbs as the environment grows. Analyst and customer feedback often cite pricing that sits above mid-market vulnerability scanners with few bundled features. The higher outlay can be hard to justify when several competitors offer comparable risk insight at lower subscription tiers.

Functionality
Forescout VM continuously discovers on-prem, OT and cloud assets and assigns a multifactor risk score that highlights the most critical vulnerabilities. Connectors push prioritized tasks into ServiceNow and similar systems and Forescout observes the device to confirm the fix, giving teams closed-loop remediation tracking. Because coverage relies on network discovery and external scanners rather than deep authenticated host scans, functionality is strong but not at the top tier.

Compatibility
Forescout VM syncs assets with ServiceNow CMDB and exports events to Splunk via built-in connectors. Connectors for AWS and other major clouds extend coverage beyond on-prem systems and agents handle Windows, macOS and Linux hosts. Limited native container support and the need for some scripted SIEM feeds keep overall compatibility just below the highest tier.

User experience
Dashboards give clear graphics and real-time asset exposure views that users call intuitive, so new analysts come up to speed quickly. Drill-downs on compliance and vulnerability scores support focussed remediation without hunting through menus. Some reviewers say the fat-client console and manual tweaks for reports add minor friction, placing usability slightly behind the very top tools

Customer support
Forescout ActiveCare Advanced offers 24×7 phone and portal help with a one-hour target response, giving customers rapid expert access. Release notes list several new plugins in the same month, indicating a regular weekly-style update rhythm. Public sources do not highlight dedicated success managers or same-day CVE content, so support sits just below the top tier.
