Claroty Platform vs SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer comparison

"Claroty identifies all vulnerabilities available in our environment."

"The main advantage of Claroty, when compared to its competitors, is integrated secure remote access."

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

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

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

"The solution offers comprehensive tools that greatly enhance your IT operations if implemented correctly."

"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."

"I would rate NetFlow Traffic Analyzer's stability ten out of ten."

"The performance analysis is a valuable feature. With the performance analyzer, we can see the realtime monitoring, the realtime performance, and historical performance on specific components like virtualization storage, CPU, servers and network equipment."

"It helps us know when a branch is down because it has a graphic presentation of all the locations a node represents."

"For stability, I would give SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer a rating of ten out of ten."

"The dashboard alerts me when a critical device goes off the network."

"The solution helps manage networks."

"What the network team found most valuable in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is that it helps them to troubleshoot or analyze the issue. For example, traffic that comes from our location: India, goes to the US, so for the network team to analyze where the traffic comes from and where it is directed, and whether the packets are being dropped, they use SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer. The network team also likes that through the solution, they can analyze the complete traffic utilization and how they're going to use it. SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is user-friendly. The team finds it comfortable to use."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to look for any increases in bandwidth over time so that we can plan before it becomes critical."

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

"The product's integration capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."

"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."

"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'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 are a few protocols that Claroty doesn't currently support."

"Claroty Platform could improve the pricing to get more acceptability in the market."

"The price of the solution is a bit high for our clients. They should consider adjusting their price model."

"I'm expecting to see a little bit more artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. They need a bit more sophistication in that."

"Technical support could be improved with quicker response times."

"The problem is that SolarWinds is trying to bolt in too much and that can leave bugs, which you have to then sort out, leaving the product unstable. SolarWinds needs to try and slow down and improve the stability of the product, as opposed to bringing out more and more features."

"It can be complex to set up and configure."

"It is very slow to pick the dynamics of the network."

"The pricing is expensive."

"As people always complain about the pricing for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer, it's an area for improvement in the solution. People find it expensive. Another area for improvement in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is support, as it could be better."

"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."

"For our environment, we pay approximately $25,000 USD yearly."

"The solution's licensing is high-priced."

"The licensing for this solution is based on the number of nodes."

"The price of this solution is exceptional."

"I don't have information on the licensing cost for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer because it's bundled with another SolarWinds solution. My organization has seven different models and pays for the license yearly. My organization also had to deploy additional pollers, but the cost wasn't very expensive, though I can't give the exact numbers."

"While the pricing is fair, it could be better."

"Pricing for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is very high. I have a customer that needs the solution but doesn't have the budget for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer because the problem is that you can't use the solution only. You have to buy requirements such as the SolarWinds NPM first, and some companies don't have the budget for all the required components and modules. SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer can cost up to $10,000, and some customers don't have that budget. Another product has all the modules that SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer has, with a very low price, that can be a replacement, which is ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer. PRTG is another solution that can replace SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer."

"Licensing for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is paid yearly, and there are no additional costs that you need to pay apart from the standard licensing fees because you don't need to purchase another solution to make SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer work. Pricing for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is more expensive than other solutions."
