Cisco Sourcefire SNORT vs Claroty Platform comparison

"It simplifies the configuration process by offering pre-defined base configurations, including security and connectivity settings."

"The URL filtering is very good and you can create a group for customized URLs."

"The tool's most valuable feature is threat detection, which is important because we have multiple layers not only in Cisco."

"The solution is rather easy to use."

"The product is inexpensive compared to leading brands such as Palo Alto or Fortinet."

"The logging is mainly what I consider one of the best features with Cisco Sourcefire SNORT; being able to log and store it in a file allows you to push it to a centralized repository."

"The most valuable features of Cisco Sourcefire SNORT are the dashboard for monitoring events."

"In general, the features are all great. However, if I need to take hardware for ASA, because they need to upgrade to Firepower, we want to create rules. For that, most of the time we go to the command line. Right now Firepower is working really hard on the grid. You can apply all those rules to the grid. Even if you want to monitor the logs, for example, the activity will tell you which particular user has been blocked because of that rule. Firepower's monitoring interface is very good, because you can see each and every piece. ASA also had it, but there you needed to type the command and be under the server to see all that stuff. In Firepower you have the possibility to go directly to the firewall. The way the monitoring is displayed is also very nice. The feature I appreciate most in Firepower is actually the grid. The grid has worked very well."

"I believe the two main aspects where Claroty stands out are their ability to provide a complete platform and their OT-specific focus."

"The platform ensures security without imposing significant delays."

"The tool's best feature was the UI and the simplicity it offers."

"Their SRA solution, the Secure Remote Access solution, is very useful for industrial environments."

"Claroty provides continuous threat protection and identifies pre-empty stuff and false positives."

"The platform ensures security without imposing significant delays."

"The product helps mitigate potential threats, especially if its users have signature rules. The product also provides alerts."

"Claroty is very beneficial for learning and adds value to your resume."

"There are problems setting up VPNs for some regions."

"With the next release, I would like to see some PBR, so that you can do the configuration with the features."

"If the price is brought down then everybody will be happy."

"I would like to have analytics included in the suite."

"Cisco Sourcefire SNORT can scale, but if you have too much, you could fill up your log files, which I consider when discussing scalability."

"The customization of the rules can be simplified."

"Integration with other components — even Cisco's own products — can be enhanced to improve administrative experience."

"I want to see a better dashboard for the product. The dashboard can be a bit modified or enhanced."

"If more AI features could be included with the Clarity solution, it would be feasible for everybody."

"I've reported four bugs and three feature requests so far. The main area of focus should be on how attacks are detected. The attack vector information needs to be more detailed. For example, it's not enough to state that an SMB v1 version open can lead to a WannaCry attack. A more detailed explanation should help clients understand the various ways an attack could occur."

"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."

"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."

"There are a few protocols that Claroty doesn't currently support."

"I think the only issue is that the hardware Claroty uses is expensive."

"The product could be improved in terms of user interface design."

"Claroty Platform could improve the pricing to get more acceptability in the market."

"We have a three-year license for this solution."

"Licensing for this solution is paid on a yearly basis."

"If one is an extremely expensive product, and ten is cheap, I rate the tool's price as a five."

"I don't know the exact amount, but most of the time when I go to a company with a proposition, they will say, "This thing that you are selling is good, but it's expensive. Why don't you propose something like FortiGate, Check Point, or Palo Alto?" Cisco device are expensive compared to other devices."

"The cost is per port and can be expensive but it does include training and support for three years."

"The tool is quite expensive."

"It's a bit expensive compared to other solutions."

"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."
