Offers strong incident response features but requires more asset visibility and flexibility
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. One of the main features of Dragos is that they have a dedicated Incident Response team, so if clients need any help, they are there to help. Dragos does real-time monitoring as well, collecting mirror traffic from the span port of the switch, and as soon as it gets the traffic, it analyzes it in real time and shows what's going on in the networks, which relates to the real-time visibility feature for ICS networks.

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.

Pros

"Dragos is more expensive than other vendors, probably about fifteen to twenty percent more, but it is generally worth the investment."
"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."
"It has impacted security operations in a better way."
"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."
"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."
"I chose Nozomi because it is far ahead of other competitors, like Curator and Elastic."
"The feature I like best is its stability."
"The tool's visibility is good. We can see the traffic flow."
"Nozomi Networks is an easy-to-use and powerful tool."

Cons

"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 could improve its asset visibility and discovery tools, as the competitor Claroty has better options in this area."
"Creating custom queries is time-consuming."
"On the negative side, I believe their AI, which is IQ, could be more improved."
"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."
"Regarding the functionality of Nozomi Networks, the query syntax is very complicated. The syntax of the queries is very complex, so sometimes you will not get what you want."
"It should support more programmable logic controllers (PLCs)."
"We have faced downtimes, crashes, or performance issues with certain implementations."
"I would like more customizable options for configurations."
"The solution should include an integration library."
