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.

Easy to integrate, enhances operational efficiency, and has machine learning capabilities
We are satisfied with the product. We can passively scan the network for anomalies and let it learn through machine learning about the normal state of the network. If it deviates from that, then it is an anomaly. It would give an alert about anomalous behaviors like a cyber attack. The network visibility has enhanced operational efficiency. It is easy to integrate the solution with the existing industrial control systems.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's best feature was the UI and the simplicity it offers."
"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."
"The solution's asset management is really great compared to Dragos or Nozomi."
"The product helps mitigate potential threats, especially if its users have signature rules. The product also provides alerts."
"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 offers comprehensive tools that greatly enhance your IT operations if implemented correctly."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the map, which shows everything that is connected and communicates with each other."
"Claroty identifies all vulnerabilities available in our environment."
"The network visibility has enhanced operational efficiency."
 

Cons

"The product could be improved in terms of user interface design."
"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 are a few protocols that Claroty doesn't currently support."
"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."
"The graphical user interface is quite poor."
"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 product's integration capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The tool must provide new features similar to Radiflow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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