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 identifies all vulnerabilities available in our environment."
"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."
"The solution's asset management is really great compared to Dragos or Nozomi."
"The tool's best feature was the UI and the simplicity it offers."
"The platform ensures security without imposing significant delays."
"Claroty is very beneficial for learning and adds value to your resume."
"Darktrace provides better visibility into network risks, allowing you to take preemptive action against risky user behavior."
"It is a stable solution without downtime."
"AI analytics are built directly into the product."
"The most valuable feature is the alerts. The alerts are meaningful. The event rolls up into meaningful and actionable alerts rather than just being noise."
"Darktrace is extremely stable."
"We have found the product to be stable and issue-free."
"The most valuable feature is the solution's ability to trim out the false positives and point your attention to the real important stuff."
"Darktrace is very flexible."
 

Cons

"Claroty Platform could improve the pricing to get more acceptability in the market."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the user interface to make it more vibrant and interactive, similar to IT tools."
"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."
"I think the only issue is that the hardware Claroty uses is expensive."
"The graphical user interface is quite poor."
"The product could be improved in terms of user interface design."
"We face issues in the alert investigation area because it does not properly give the alert communication patterns."
"It would be helpful if they could recognize incidents and simplify the customer's challenge to identify what is happening."
"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."
"Darktrace needs to automate the reports of false positives, botnets and everything."
"The interface is too mathematical and it should be simplified."
"Darktrace is a closed technology, meaning we know very little about how it works, including the architecture, which is significant. As a result, when we implement the system and find we're getting many false positives, we have minimal insight into why it's happening and what we can do to fix it. We don't know how the solution is configured, the criteria for threats to be determined, or the product's inner workings. We understand that they have to ensure privacy and their copyright, but we want to see some documentation or public research into the security Darktrace provides."
"There is no dedicated salesperson in Egypt, and having one would help to improve focus on this market."
"It is expensive, but everything else has been great so far."
"It could build in integrations for some complementary products, but it has an assistant plugin so this is not really a big deal."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The cost of the solution can be reduced to make it more appealing to customers."
"It's an expensive solution."
"Darktrace is expensive. You can pay for the license yearly."
"If you consider the features and the cost of market leaders, we are satisfied with the pricing."
"The solution is about $6,000 per quarter."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is very flexible for Darktrace. Sometimes, a customer does not have the appropriate budget, but Darktrace can handle that. They offer monthly payments, so the customer can acquire the solution very easily."
"In the ballpark, we're talking about $30K, $50K, and up. It can even be as much as $50K or $100K."
