Claroty Platform vs SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer comparison

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

"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 platform ensures security without imposing significant delays."

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

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

"Claroty identifies all vulnerabilities available in our environment."

"Claroty is very beneficial for learning and adds value to your resume."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

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

"It allows us to pinpoint which protocol is overloading the link."

"It doesn't cost too much."

"The monitoring is perfect, showing you the details for the utilization of resources and network bandwidth."

"As it offers enterprise solutions, it has all the essential features for business."

"With SolarWinds, we are now able to accurately gauge bandwidth consumption."

"I like that it is able to monitor multiple devices and it's vendor-agnostic."

"The graphical user interface is quite poor."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

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

"What needs improvement in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is performance because sometimes, my team struggles too much for the solution to perform correctly for a specific deployment in my organization. Having a more detailed view in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is another area for improvement, but that's more part of the protocol than the actual solution."

"It's scalable, but it could be simplified because it's not completely easy."

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

"It is a scalable solution, but it is costly to scale. Therefore, I would rate scalability at eight out of ten."

"The Atlas module that is used for building the network map is very bad."

"An area for improvement in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is application visibility because some applications aren't being recognized correctly. You can see applications such as Facebook and YouTube, but SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer needs to have more visibility into more applications. Currently, SolarWinds fails to detect more powerful applications, such as Zoom and Teams. If SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer can recognize every application and be able to report on each in terms of bandwidth, then that would be good. This is what I'd like to see in the next release of the solution."

"I would like to see better customization capabilities."

"The tool is quite expensive."

"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."

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

"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."

"SolarWinds' pricing structure is the primary reason why some customers opt for another solution such as ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer. In NTA, you are charged per port, meaning that if you have a 24-port switch you will be charged for 24 individual nodes. ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer, on the other hand, charges per switch, such that if you add a switch, the entire switch will count as one single node."

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

"The pricing is reasonable."

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

"We pay yearly, and we are happy with its price."

"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."
