Achieve certifications with progress tracking and potential for enhanced interactivity
I was using Claroty to complete training assigned by my company. The courses were self-paced and helped me get certified in two additional certifications. I plan to use it further as I have a task list for future courses. It was primarily for certification and study materials The feature I like…

Enables proactive threat detection and immediate response through AI monitoring
The most valuable feature of Darktrace is its ability to detect and counter threats before they occur. The autonomous response capability is always enabled, blocking threats immediately without hesitation. Additionally, the Darktrace email platform is a significant asset since it addresses incoming threats before they reach the network, enhancing our security measures. Protecting the business is essential, and ensuring security through 24/7 AI monitoring is invaluable.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I believe the two main aspects where Claroty stands out are their ability to provide a complete platform and their OT-specific focus."
"Claroty is very beneficial for learning and adds value to your resume."
"The tool's best feature was the UI and the simplicity it offers."
"Claroty provides continuous threat protection and identifies pre-empty stuff and false positives."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the map, which shows everything that is connected and communicates with each other."
"The main advantage of Claroty, when compared to its competitors, is integrated secure remote access."
"The solution offers comprehensive tools that greatly enhance your IT operations if implemented correctly."
"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."
"I would 100% recommend Darktrace."
"It is a stable solution."
"Its most valuable feature is its ability to identify malicious connected IPs from outside and the attacks that get through to the inside."
"The product can scale."
"AI analytics are built directly into the product."
"We allow customers to access our Wi-Fi as guests, and some of them were going to restricted sites. Darktrace showed us what they were doing so we could block them."
"It is very stable and easy to use."
"The initial setup is simple."
 

Cons

"The product could be improved in terms of user interface design."
"Introducing an AI chatbot to assist you when you have doubts could be beneficial."
"The graphical user interface is quite poor."
"I think the only issue is that the hardware Claroty uses is expensive."
"We face issues in the alert investigation area because it does not properly give the alert communication patterns."
"There should be AI security solutions implemented."
"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 are a few protocols that Claroty doesn't currently support."
"The main portal needs improvement as it is difficult to use."
"The dashboard and reporting for this solution could be improved as it is currently complex. The GUI for this solution could also be improved."
"Its documentation is not up to the mark. At times, I have a lot of trouble finding a solution. Even when I posted questions on the community chats, it took a lot of time for me to get answers. That's something that can be improved. Darktrace can focus on creating a more interactive community. If there are more people from Darktrace to focus on community chats, it would be better."
"The initial setup is more complex and time-consuming than some solutions."
"It would be useful if there was a way to check to see if there are certain devices that are not in sync with the solution. I'm not sure if this is an option or not."
"One area for improvement is the alerting system, which generates too many alerts and becomes labor-intensive for organizations not equipped with enough personnel in their SOC."
"There aren't so many third-party vendor platforms natively integrated with the platform."
"The pricing is costly in USD, and they charge based on device counts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"They are too expensive compared with other vendors."
"It was $3,600 a month or $2,000 plus or so. I am not sure. Its licensing is pretty simple."
"Darktrace is pricey, but the price is reasonable for what the solution does, and it's comparable to other products."
"All of the other modules, such as the licensing modules, are on par. It's one for one."
"It is a very expensive product."
"The pricing is quite high, estimated at around $350,000 per year."
"The cost of the solution is expensive for smaller businesses. They will not be able to afford it or might not need this type of security solution."
"I'm unfamiliar with the exact cost, but we have a yearly license and had to pay for Darktrace's services before the deployment. The product is very expensive, so some organizations can't afford to pay the total amount directly, meaning they often seek a partner or pay in installments, which increases the price more."
