Improved industrial asset visibility has transformed risk management and compliance monitoring
I think there are some areas of weaknesses in Claroty Platform. The pricing could improve, as some of the features require licensing tiers and therefore the pricing could be higher. Claroty Platform could benefit from simpler licensing and pricing structures. The executive dashboard can improve as well, and they can expand their third-party integration. Additionally, their predictive AI-driven recommendations can be improved. I think it does provide for very good behavior analysis through AI capabilities and risk prioritization, which is generally quite trustworthy. As the capability of AI enhances, I think it can provide for better risk recommendations. Claroty Platform can have a better and simpler licensing arrangement. Their third-party integrations can expand. They can have better executive dashboards and more AI-driven predictive risk recommendations. I would rate them an eight for these reasons. Dashboards, licensing, integrations, and AI-driven recommendations are areas for improvement. Probably one more to add is that they can have better and more enhanced automated remediation workflows.

Comprehensive security features with integral network communication view
Real-time monitoring and proactive threat prevention offered by Palo Alto Industrial OT Security is a key feature of the product, which is distinctive since many other security solutions for industrial plant environments are basically able to detect - not protect. They need to be integrated with other security components, making the deployment more complex as more products and solutions need to be integrated. In Palo Alto, we have a single device that does everything. These features contribute to maintaining oversight over my Industrial networks or my customers' networks, and it's very important. It is a way to detect any change in the field, even if changes are made outside the proper control processes. The capability of Palo Alto Industrial OT Security to map network flows and understand asset interdependencies is especially important in complex environments. In smaller environments, which are the most common in my country, the industrial plants usually change very slowly, so this kind of discovery feature is interesting at the beginning but not critical after the first deployments. The positive impact of Palo Alto Industrial OT Security on my organization brings benefits such as a constant view of the intercommunication and connection between different areas of the networks.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature is the map, which shows everything that is connected and communicates with each other."
"The platform ensures security without imposing significant delays."
"The main advantage of Claroty, when compared to its competitors, is integrated secure remote access."
"After implementation of Claroty Platform, the visibility goes up to one hundred percent, which otherwise was probably in the range of 60 to 70 percent, and this really has a lot of business impact on security, compliance, and operations."
"The platform ensures security without imposing significant delays, boosts productivity, and allows secure remote access to engineers through advanced methods while providing seamless integration with legacy systems and supporting both passive and active reconnaissance."
"Their SRA solution, the Secure Remote Access solution, is very useful for industrial environments."
"The tool's best feature was the UI and the simplicity it offers."
"Claroty assigns a score based on how well you are doing in the course. If you skip a video, your score decreases, making it essential to watch the content attentively."
"Real-time monitoring and proactive threat prevention offered by Palo Alto Industrial OT Security is a key feature of the product, which is distinctive because many other security solutions for industrial plant environments are basically able to detect but not protect."
 

Cons

"Claroty Platform only gives the vulnerabilities based on the make and model of the devices, so it doesn't provide any resolution or any detailed explanation of how one can resolve such issues."
"Occasionally, I face a login problem despite entering the correct password."
"Introducing an AI chatbot to assist you when you have doubts could be beneficial."
"The product could be improved in terms of user interface design."
"I've reported four bugs and three feature requests so far. The main area of focus should be on how attacks are detected. The attack vector information needs to be more detailed. For example, it's not enough to state that an SMB v1 version open can lead to a WannaCry attack. A more detailed explanation should help clients understand the various ways an attack could occur."
"The pricing could improve, as some of the features require licensing tiers and therefore the pricing could be higher."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The Claroty Platform becomes too noisy when it gives numerous CVEs related to vendor match. Sometimes, these CVEs are not actually related to the device in the firmware at the site."
"The area for improvement in Palo Alto Industrial OT Security is the coverage of the different types of devices that can be connected, which is a common complaint or request from the end user because everyone has something that is different from the others."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is quite expensive."
"It's a bit expensive compared to other solutions."
"The licensing for physical devices is cheap, but the software version is expensive. The software version costs around 26-28 dollars. I was surprised and even double-checked. It was shocking."
