Cisco Sourcefire SNORT vs Claroty Platform comparison

"Cisco Sourcefire SNORT is easy to configure and the reporting is great. It's also very user-friendly."

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

"The solution is stable."

"It is quite an intelligent product."

"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."

"Cisco technical support is unbeatable. It offers a premium service every time."

"The most valuable feature is the visibility that we have across the virtual environment."

"The solution is rather easy to use."

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

"I like how the tool does passive and active discovery and threat detection and shows risks, recommendations, and vulnerabilities. It gives risk scores and gathers everything in one place - IP, device name, etc. We can integrate it with other tools for overall network mapping. It's useful for audits, compliance, and monitoring of all devices in the industry. It provides both monitoring and control. We also have SRA for incident response, which lets us search all alerts if we deploy the Claroty Platform."

"The main advantage of Claroty, when compared to its competitors, is integrated secure remote access."

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

"Claroty assigns a score based on how well you are doing in the course. If you skip a video, your score decreases, making it essential to watch the content attentively."

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

"I appreciate the active coding, deep inspection of packages, and data retrieval. The tool covers information about assets and attack vectors, which I find superior to other tools. Based on alerts, I create reports detailing how an attacker can penetrate the plant, both externally and internally."

"I have had a very good experience with the Claroty Platform."

"The solution's approach to managing traffic blocking is confusing and impractical."

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

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

"The initial setup is a little difficult compared to other products in the market. It depends on the environment. If we are doing any migration, it might take months in a brown-field environment."

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

"I don't think this solution is a time-based control system, because one cannot filter traffic based on time."

"The main dashboard of Cisco Sourcefire SNORT could improve."

"The implementation could be a bit easier."

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

"Occasionally, I face a login problem despite entering the correct password."

"The graphical user interface is quite poor."

"We face issues in the alert investigation area because it does not properly give the alert communication patterns."

"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."

"Introducing an AI chatbot to assist you when you have doubts could be beneficial."

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

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

"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."

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

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

"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."

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

"The tool is quite expensive."
