Cisco Sourcefire SNORT vs Claroty Platform comparison

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

"The most valuable feature is the ability to automatically learn the traffic in our environment, and change the merit recommendations based on that."

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

"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."

"The solution is rather easy to use."

"It has a huge rate of protection. It's has a low level of positives and a huge rate of threat protection. It's easy to deploy and easy to implement. It has an incredible price rate compared to similar solutions."

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

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the filtering."

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

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

"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 solution's most valuable feature is the map, which shows everything that is connected and communicates with each other."

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

"Claroty identifies all vulnerabilities available in our environment."

"The solution's asset management is really great compared to Dragos or Nozomi."

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

"The customization of the rules can be simplified."

"I did not experience any pain points that required improvement. Maybe a couple of false-positives, but that's about it."

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

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

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

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

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

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

"There is room for improvement in the user interface to make it more vibrant and interactive, similar to IT tools. Improvements could also be made in the Secure Remote Access (SRA) user interaction and graphical representations of recordings."

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

"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."

"There is room for improvement in the user interface to make it more vibrant and interactive, similar to IT tools."

"There should be AI security solutions implemented."

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

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

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

"The tool is quite expensive."
