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.

Easy to integrate, enhances operational efficiency, and has machine learning capabilities
We are satisfied with the product. We can passively scan the network for anomalies and let it learn through machine learning about the normal state of the network. If it deviates from that, then it is an anomaly. It would give an alert about anomalous behaviors like a cyber attack. The network visibility has enhanced operational efficiency. It is easy to integrate the solution with the existing industrial control systems.

Cons

"I believe there is room for improvement regarding on-premises AI."
"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."
"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."
"I think Nozomi Networks should still work on the graphical user interface because it can be more friendly in terms of user experience, especially regarding the flows, the workflows, the intuitiveness of certain things and positions of certain buttons or even creating a dashboard for yourself in a way easier manner."
"I chose eight out of ten because their customer services are something lacking."
"It should support more programmable logic controllers (PLCs)."
"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."
"Nozomi Networks can be improved in many points. First of all, reduce the cost. That is really important because many companies are not so huge and many companies cannot acquire this kind of licensing."
"The tool must provide new features similar to Radiflow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
