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.

Unlimited assets for one price and quick, agentless results
I implement the solution as a vulnerability management tool for client use cases. It can be used for public factors because it sits right where you have tie in and bleeds over or in between other tools as another piece in the EDR puzzle. The solution identifies vulnerabilities, applies patches, and…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature is the map, which shows everything that is connected and communicates with each other."
"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 offers comprehensive tools that greatly enhance your IT operations if implemented correctly."
"The solution's asset management is really great compared to Dragos or Nozomi."
"The main advantage of Claroty, when compared to its competitors, is integrated secure remote access."
"Claroty identifies all vulnerabilities available in our environment."
"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 trial version is very good for testing whether it will suit your needs."
"We have done code scanning for a long period because as a company, we do DevOps as part of our development life cycle."
"With the Tenable Nessus enterprise edition, you have unlimited licenses to scan the device."
"Overall Zoom is a good solution."
"We looked at Tenable, Qualys and Rapid7. We found Tenable was the best of all three."
"Scanners and reports using CIS templates ("de-facto" standard, easy to fix and to locate correction tips at documentation), tests against cloud providers, database profiles, several types of telecom devices, and others highly customizable scans."
"Its initial setup was simple and straightforward."
"I have found the vulnerability assessment and the reports to be useful."
 

Cons

"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."
"We face issues in the alert investigation area because it does not properly give the alert communication patterns."
"There are a few protocols that Claroty doesn't currently support."
"The product could be improved in terms of user interface design."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"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."
"Technically, it is an excellent and the best solution available in Libya. My only concern is related to its pricing. They are an emerging company in Libya, and they need to put in some effort to provide us with very good prices so that customers can go with the best solution. Chinese companies are getting into the market here, and they're providing very cheap solutions."
"We have had some false positives in the past, which we hope can improve in the future."
"The reports are okay, but the interface is a bit difficult to navigate in some cases."
"Tenable Nessus could improve the price."
"They have added a new Tenable Nessus Expert. That is their new product, which caters to the cloud and everything else. I am assuming that the new features and product enhancements are based on that tool set, but we haven't reviewed it yet."
"From my point of view the solution basically is not for the big enterprise."
"It would be nice for the professional module to include some of the reports available in the expert module."
"We would like to have the option of using the solution for the cloud as well as on-premises with the same license at the same time. That would be very helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The tool is quite expensive."
"Nessus Manager is not an expensive product. It has its limitations, but the pricing reflects that. We have a yearly subscription."
"We have a subscription, the licensing fees are paid yearly, and I am using the latest version."
"The product pricing is dynamic and varies based on the specific needs of each project and customer."
"The price is okay. I would give it a seven out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The is a free version of Tenable Nessus available."
"Its price is high for Libya. The companies here in Libya don't have the awareness of and a good budget for cybersecurity services. If you want them to go for a product, you need to provide something different. This differentiation is related to the price. They should give about 40% to 45% discount per person on the current cost."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"Nessus is affordable, but its licensing model could be improved with more flexibility for adding assets."
