What are you using and how do you like it? I'm looking at a few but would like to see what others are using and how they like it. Specifically in how useful it is for out of band devices (Devices not owned by your company, I.E. Vendor laptops etc...) I like ForeScout so far and I'm also looking at Cisco and Symantec.
