Useful for active coding, deep inspection of packages, and data retrieval
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. Initially, I felt the Claroty Platform wasn't up to the mark for vulnerability management, but recent upgrades have been very helpful. The new features provide more detailed information, including CVE numbers and thorough explanations, such as for MS17-010 (WannaCry). This level of detail meets my expectations and allows me to determine how much of the plant's assets and devices would be compromised if a vulnerability is exploited. This information is crucial for reporting to the CISO.
René-SylvainBédard - PeerSpot reviewer
The vulnerability assessment is very accurate because it runs directly into the vulnerability database
I have three years of experience with Microsoft Defender and Office 365 for eleven years. My company operates as a shop for Microsoft products, and we have always stayed with Microsoft. We intend to displace the competition when my company enters a new client environment. I have dealt with customers who were using Carbon Black and SentinelOne. My company's customers switched work from their previous products to Microsoft because the tools they were using were power-hungry solutions, which had an impact on production. Microsoft Office 365's premium licenses have many built-in services, which our customers used to use from some other products. With Microsoft products, there is no need for our company's customers to pay extra for licensing charges. The major difference between Carbon Black and Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management revolves around areas like stability and integration capabilities within the operating systems, which are strong in Microsoft, especially compared to any of its competitors. The actual depth of knowledge that the platform offers is good because Microsoft has been very rigorous in documenting every single vulnerability that exists for its platform. Microsoft has the most complete list of vulnerabilities for its platform.

Pros

"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."
"The platform ensures security without imposing significant delays."
"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."
"The platform ensures security without imposing significant delays."
"The tool's best feature was the UI and the simplicity it offers."
"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."
"The most valuable aspect is the kind of assessment results I get, and the recommendations provided in Microsoft products really help in taking care of the resources."
"The product’s most valuable features are compliance, recommendations, and inventories."
"The solution is up-to-date and helps prevent zero-day attacks."
"The product's stability is very high...The scalability of the product is amazing."
"The solution helps identify threats and vulnerabilities."
"One valuable feature is the Microsoft Security Scorecard."
"The solution is highly scalable."
"The recommendations, scores, and steps to remediate actions are highly useful."
 

Cons

"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 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."
"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."
"The graphical user interface is quite poor."
"The product could be improved in terms of user interface design."
"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."
"The technical support takes too much time to resolve tickets."
"The general support could be improved."
"The setup phase of the product is not that easy and needs a person to have a certain level of expertise."
"The automated remediations can be more specific."
"The constant changes in the product configuration or the console setup can sometimes be challenging."
"Integration can be improved."
"It is challenging to extract and customize reports from the system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is quite expensive."
"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 licensing model follows a per-user per-month structure."
"I rate the product's price a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"The tool is a bit costly."
"The product’s pricing is medium."
"The licensing costs are reasonable."
