Chandrakant Deshmukh - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior VP IOT at Mastek Ltd
Has a learning curve that is easy to deal with for users
With the tool, the learning curve is really good. I don't have to spend time in long training sessions, which is typically required for other platforms. As my company is a Microsoft kind of shop, we have developers, making the learning curve easy compared to other tools. When it comes to integration with the back-end systems, manufacturing companies are still using some other apps in their environment. Getting data or pushing those analytics data back to the back-end systems is relatively simple while using Azure Sphere and other integration points, and so that is why there is a clear direction from our company's end customer that they need an Azure solution.

Comprehensive dashboards have enabled detailed asset visibility and proactive risk mitigation
On the negative side, I believe their AI, which is IQ, could be more improved. For example, when I export any data, there are only 50 columns available. What if there were more columns? Nozomi Networks does not provide that data, so I have to go to the query section. The AI is currently useful for writing queries in English that are converted into their coding language for queries. Sometimes it provides the correct data, and sometimes it does not understand the request. From my attempts, I would say 50 percent of the time it has given me the proper data, and 50 percent of the time it might need improvement. Every day or week, new threat intelligence and AI upgrades are being released for Vantage, and all those upgrades are being implemented. Things are getting better, but I believe there are areas of improvement.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's stable and the performance has been great."
"When you use this solution, you get a dual processor with all the necessary security and Microsoft updates supplied, so you don't have to be concerned about the security aspect related to IoT because Microsoft takes care of this."
"I think my team is comfortable with the installation of the product."
"The scalability of Nozomi Networks is super easy to scale up as long as you have a Vantage solution, meaning the private cloud connected to on-premises or on-premises Guardians connected to the private Nozomi Networks cloud."
"I chose Nozomi because it is far ahead of other competitors, like Curator and Elastic."
"Nozomi Networks has really offered a stellar performance within the organization and there is not any specific part that needs improvement for now."
"It brings visibility into the OT environment because most of the enterprises only have methods to check their IT environment."
"There is definitely a notable return on investment from Nozomi Networks, including financial savings and time efficiency."
"The best feature of Nozomi Networks is that it has built OT-oriented protocols such as OPC UA, DNP3, Modbus, and Siemens S7, and for these protocols, Nozomi Networks identifies them very perfectly."
"Nozomi Networks has impacted our organization positively as we have gained trust from customers in terms of the technology results and everything that the technology brings."
"Our last customer using Nozomi Networks is very happy with it and appreciates the reports and all features, and they use Nozomi Networks in the SOC where the technical people monitor and see the performance of the OT product and are very satisfied."
 

Cons

"The type of edge devices being addressed through the suite was limited, however, even that has also significantly increased."
"One of the pain points of this solution is that the full Linux box is not exposed to all developers. This restricts what the applications can do as they cant be adjusted."
"The lack of awareness of the products among our company's customers is a challenge that needs to be looked at and improved by Microsoft."
"To improve Nozomi Networks, I believe that it is less useful without Vantage if I have a multi-site setup."
"I would add that the documentation is lacking some information, so you need to ask customer support for it, but you cannot have everything."
"Proof of concept could be improved. It could be more tangible to the customer and the end users to have a video presentation or something like that."
"On the negative side, I believe their AI, which is IQ, could be more improved."
"I would like more customizable options for configurations."
"Nozomi Networks can be improved in many points. First of all, reduce the cost. That is really important because many companies are not so huge and many companies cannot acquire this kind of licensing."
"We have faced downtimes, crashes, or performance issues with certain implementations."
"Nozomi Networks can be improved by integrating with other technologies so that teams look at a single dashboard when it comes to security issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution offers secure IoT communication to the cloud at a fairly low cost."
"I have not seen any competition in terms of pricing, and it is quite reasonable."
"The solution's pricing is good and cheaper than that of Claroty."
