Security monitoring has uncovered unauthorized devices and now protects client networks
I think the best feature of Armis Centrix for OT/IoT Security is that it ensures only the authorized devices and users are authorized to prevent any potential breaches. I think that clear definition is very essential for a lot of networks because it helps us understand who should be there and who shouldn't be. For our clientele, we were able to discover a lot of unauthorized devices that were on their network. This first of all helped them remove a lot of potential security breaches and cleared the bandwidth of the network as well. I think this has been one of the biggest cases that we have found. For most of the clients where we have deployed it, this has always been a common occurrence because a lot of people enter the network and then you don't know who is there, who has the access, and so on. I think this is the very reason I said what I said earlier.

Risk monitoring has improved and real-time fraud detection provides transparent banking control
Dragos should be improved in deployment complexity as it requires OT engineering coordination. One needs to have proper engineering coordination to understand the system, deploy it, integrate it, and make all the complex things into one system. This is very challenging, and one should be really skillful and have experience to accomplish this. Cost is another area for improvement. The cost is higher due to site-based licensing and expert services. The licensing is very heavy, and expert services are required for deployment. Cost-wise is also challenging and needs to be improved. Integration needs alignment with IT security systems and compliance frameworks. Controlling cybersecurity where any fraudulent person or third party should not access the system is controlled, and managing that level of complexity is quite challenging. Since there is continuous monitoring, it can reduce operational risk losses by 20% to 30% annually. Controlling that huge amount of data and transactions, especially regarding storage, requires a lot of database space. The space-wise storage should be reduced.

Pros

"I think the best feature of Armis Centrix for OT/IoT Security is that it ensures only the authorized devices and users are authorized to prevent any potential breaches."
"Dragos' best features are that they are more focused towards Incident Response, so they have a dedicated playbook in their platform, making it easier for anyone investigating any incidents to investigate the alerts."
"Dragos is more expensive than other vendors, probably about fifteen to twenty percent more, but it is generally worth the investment."
"Dragos especially ensures systems recover quickly, providing resilience, and it handles all the operational resilience in banking with metrics of 99.9% uptime, 30 minutes recovery time, and 99% transaction accuracy."
"Dragos has positively impacted my organization by aiding us to compensate our time."
"I have been working with Dragos almost since the time when they started the company."
 

Cons

"I'm not exactly sure how scalable it is if you're managing multiple locations, but I think it still has some potential for improvement for multiple locations."
"Dragos is very expensive, charging more than the OEMs. For example, if a PLC costs ten thousand dollars, a customer pays Dragos almost one to ten price in relation to what they would have spent building their plant."
"From my point of view, Dragos cannot be improved at the moment, but having more user-friendly platforms would be good."
"Dragos could improve its asset visibility and discovery tools, as the competitor Claroty has better options in this area."
"Dragos should be improved in deployment complexity as it requires OT engineering coordination."
"I think Dragos can offer more flexibility similar to Nozomi and more visibility into the assets, nodes, and links, which would make it more competitive in the future."
"Dragos basically helped us get to know the entire infrastructure because there were many devices that not even the client themselves knew existed or that were still active, making it a very good tool; however, it requires a lot of hardware and knowledge, especially expertise from people who have worked in the industry and know security, which was lacking in the company where it was implemented, leading to lucky hits but ultimately prompting my decision to change companies."
