Rajesh Podishetty - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
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.

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

"Dragos is more expensive than other vendors, probably about fifteen to twenty percent more, but it is generally worth the investment."
"Dragos has positively impacted my organization by providing awareness of what exists, allowing us to obtain visibility in OT environments and giving us good information about the assets."
"Dragos has positively impacted my organization by aiding us to compensate our time."
"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."
"I have been working with Dragos almost since the time when they started the company."
"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."
"I chose Nozomi because it is far ahead of other competitors, like Curator and Elastic."
"Nozomi Networks is the easiest to use, with the capability to build really quickly an overview of your infrastructure."
"Nozomi Networks is an easy-to-use and powerful tool."
"The most valuable features of Nozomi Networks are the visibility of OT protocols and the versatility in finding the details of the assets feeding the tool."
"Nozomi Networks has impacted my organization positively because we have experience with a few other vendors, and their configuration, reliability, and even threat identification are significantly lower than Nozomi Networks capabilities."
"Nozomi Networks has positively impacted my organization by allowing me to build a roadmap based on what I see, ultimately leading to a better security posture, which includes knowing what is inside the network and what vulnerabilities exist."
"Nozomi Networks has positively impacted our organization as we can visualize the traffic within the OT networks and identify the potential threats or vulnerabilities."
"It brings visibility into the OT environment because most of the enterprises only have methods to check their IT environment."
 

Cons

"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."
"We considered selecting based on pricing, so we are not choosing Dragos at this time but probably in the future."
"Dragos could improve its asset visibility and discovery tools, as the competitor Claroty has better options in this area."
"From my point of view, Dragos cannot be improved at the moment, but having more user-friendly platforms would be good."
"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 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."
"Dragos should be improved in deployment complexity as it requires OT engineering coordination."
"We have faced downtimes, crashes, or performance issues with certain implementations."
"The pricing was quite high based on the end customer's perspective."
"Creating custom queries is time-consuming."
"Nozomi Networks pricing is very high."
"Nozomi Networks currently offers add-ons, such as ARP agents, that can be installed on machines to expand the information we receive from sensors. However, these are part of a licensing structure, which can be costly."
"I would add that the documentation is lacking some information, so you need to ask customer support for it, but you cannot have everything."
"Nozomi Networks should improve its pricing."
"The main challenge with mapping Nozomi Networks for asset inventory was the new integrations."
