Centralized management and cybersecurity features enhance IoT device oversight
Dragos ( /products/dragos-reviews ) offers several valuable features, including the capability to manage IoT devices on a centralized platform. It allows for updates to devices and uniform management counsel, enabling updates to all devices. Another key feature is its ability to manage cybersecurity aspects of devices, such as updating or isolating devices found to have vulnerabilities. It includes features for automatic discovery of devices and inventory management of devices, and it facilitates incident response by allowing for isolation or shutdown of devices in case of critical vulnerabilities.

Helps identify vulnerabilities and risks for IT and OT assets
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.

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."
"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."
"The product has easy-to-manage features and components."
"The clear distinction between IT and OT that Tenable OT provides is its most valuable feature."
"The product’s price is its most valuable feature."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"Dragos could improve its asset visibility and discovery tools, as the competitor Claroty has better options in this area."
"Tenable.ot's integration with one of the products needs improvement."
"As an IT security professional, I would like to see automation improvements in the response part of Tenable OT Security."
"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 product is good, but OT security itself is still maturing."
"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 should provide more features to prevent attacks."
"The solution could detect changes in reading variables. The support of IoT devices can be improved."
