Passive scanning excels and support proves invaluable
Regarding the cons of the Claroty Platform, it is not about the deployment, but rather the identification. 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 Claroty Platform identifies effectively but sometimes identifies many CVEs which might not be the actual issue in certain scenarios.

Enables cost-effective asset and threat management while requiring improvements in support and training
The time it takes to train itself is a concern. Initially, it will not identify many assets, as it needs time to read the information before finding the assets. Some detections can go wrong, and it may not understand certain industrial protocols. While installation and deployment are easy, upgrading from one version to another can be challenging. When you assure clients they will receive minus two upgrades, sometimes upgrading through the cloud becomes difficult, requiring on-site upgrades. During upgrades, the previous configuration may be lost, creating support issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Claroty identifies all vulnerabilities available in our environment."
"Claroty is very beneficial for learning and adds value to your resume."
"Claroty provides continuous threat protection and identifies pre-empty stuff and false positives."
"The solution offers comprehensive tools that greatly enhance your IT operations if implemented correctly."
"The tool's best feature was the UI and the simplicity it offers."
"The product helps mitigate potential threats, especially if its users have signature rules. The product also provides alerts."
"The solution's asset management is really great compared to Dragos or Nozomi."
"I like how the tool does passive and active discovery and threat detection and shows risks, recommendations, and vulnerabilities. It gives risk scores and gathers everything in one place - IP, device name, etc. We can integrate it with other tools for overall network mapping. It's useful for audits, compliance, and monitoring of all devices in the industry. It provides both monitoring and control. We also have SRA for incident response, which lets us search all alerts if we deploy the Claroty Platform."
"The active query inventory is the most valuable feature."
"The initial setup was very easy, and I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"I like Tenable OT Security for two main reasons. Firstly, it helps identify vulnerabilities and risks for IT and OT assets, which is crucial for our operations. Secondly, it performs external port scanning, including vulnerability scans for open ports. Compared to the Claroty Platform, the tool offers detailed asset discovery capabilities."
"The clear distinction between IT and OT that Tenable OT provides is its most valuable feature."
"It's for securing the vulnerability of the OT solutions they are using. We mitigate those through patch management activities and find vulnerabilities easily with this security solution."
"The product’s price is its most valuable feature."
"The biggest advantage is that with good infrastructure, you can utilize asset planning when using Nessus along with Tenable OT Security."
"The product has easy-to-manage features and components."
 

Cons

"The graphical user interface is quite poor."
"For improvement, I think the training could be more practical. We have external training, but they're mostly theoretical. I want the solution to provide hands-on lab experience to help users learn better."
"The product could be improved in terms of user interface design."
"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."
"Claroty Platform could improve the pricing to get more acceptability in the market."
"We face issues in the alert investigation area because it does not properly give the alert communication patterns."
"There should be AI security solutions implemented."
"I think the only issue is that the hardware Claroty uses is expensive."
"As an IT security professional, I would like to see automation improvements in the response part of Tenable OT Security. However, I understand that implementing automation in OT environments can be quite challenging."
"Tenable OT Security is fine, but I find it more language-based rather than structured. It feels like something is on a web page, and the dashboards and data representations are not cool. First of all, I said that the tool view should be improved. It looks pretty old. Second, the details Tenable OT Security provides regarding the metadata they work with should be more in-depth. Its main focus is vulnerability management, which is fine, but what about threat actors? What about attack vectors and OT vulnerabilities? There are major areas, baselines, etc. that need attention."
"The solution could detect changes in reading variables. The support of IoT devices can be improved."
"The solution should provide more features to prevent attacks."
"During upgrades, the previous configuration may be lost, creating support issues."
"Tenable OT product is good, but OT security itself is still maturing."
"As an IT security professional, I would like to see automation improvements in the response part of Tenable OT Security."
"Tenable.ot's integration with one of the products needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a bit expensive compared to other solutions."
"The tool is quite expensive."
"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."
"The product is inexpensive."
"The tool's pricing is fair enough."
