Achieve certifications with progress tracking and potential for enhanced interactivity
I was using Claroty to complete training assigned by my company. The courses were self-paced and helped me get certified in two additional certifications. I plan to use it further as I have a task list for future courses. It was primarily for certification and study materials The feature I like…

Provided increased visibility across the organization's servers
The user interface of Tenable Nessus feels outdated and could be more user-friendly. Additionally, the documentation is not well-organized, which can be confusing when searching for solutions or specific information related to Tenable Nessus Professional. The reporting feature could be improved by allowing users to create their own templates instead of relying on predefined ones.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Their SRA solution, the Secure Remote Access solution, is very useful for industrial environments."
"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 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 platform ensures security without imposing significant delays."
"Claroty provides continuous threat protection and identifies pre-empty stuff and false positives."
"I believe the two main aspects where Claroty stands out are their ability to provide a complete platform and their OT-specific focus."
"The solution's asset management is really great compared to Dragos or Nozomi."
"Tenable Nessus has a good performance, is very user-friendly, and is easy to use."
"The ease of use is the primary valuable feature. This specific version is very straightforward. I like the ability to modify it and configure it based on the different policies."
"I have found the vulnerability assessment and the reports to be useful."
"It also has an executive report where you don't have to provide the client all the detail for them to sift though. But if they wish to dig through the detail they can."
"The scanning and reporting features are the most valuable aspects of Tenable Nessus."
"The solution is the most dynamic one I have seen thus far."
"The most valuable feature of Tenable Nessus is vulnerability detection."
"Out of the box, the product works well for us, so it's not a tool that we need to customize very much."
 

Cons

"We face issues in the alert investigation area because it does not properly give the alert communication patterns."
"I think the only issue is that the hardware Claroty uses is expensive."
"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."
"If more AI features could be included with the Clarity solution, it would be feasible for everybody."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There is room for improvement in the user interface to make it more vibrant and interactive, similar to IT tools."
"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 should be AI security solutions implemented."
"The reports are okay, but the interface is a bit difficult to navigate in some cases."
"There is room, overall, for improvement in the way it groups the workstations and the way it detects, when the vulnerability is scanned. Even when we would run a new scan, if it was an already existing vulnerability, it wouldn't put a new date on it."
"They should improve the I/O reporting and the customized spreadsheet export feature."
"Tenable Nessus could improve the price."
"Sometimes, the categorization for clients was tricky at first, however, they eventually got used to it."
"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 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."
"It would be a good idea if they have a simulation of attacks or a use case for finding a new vulnerability or dealing with a zero-day attack."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I think the price is fairly affordable. It provides a license that is fair."
"The solution has a single price for unlimited assets."
"The solution is expensive."
"The solution has free options."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"In general, it is extremely expensive."
"The price of Tenable Nessus could improve, it is expensive."
"The price of Tenable Nessus is much more competitive versus other solutions on the market."
