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.

A security solution for vulnerability assessment with automated scans

Additional costs are associated with using the solution, as additional scanners are required for different endpoints connected to the Tenable Security Center. If Tenable Security Center could extract information from these scanners automatically rather than manually, it would enhance user-friendliness for customers. For example, suppose I manually conducted CIS hardening or compliance scoring in a separate data centre. These scores should also be reflected in the Tenable Security Center dashboard. Since the scanner is connected to the Tenable Security Center, the dashboard should display the direct scan results from the general security centre and the connected scanners. There could be unusual activities or attacks with the rising AI-related issues or threats that the Tenable Security Center could track in the future.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

More Claroty Platform pros

"The solution is one of the most, if not the most, stable product available."

"The product is our second solution, and we are happy that it meets our requirements."

"The solution is completely stable and operation is user-friendly."

"Tenable.sc's best features are the availability model, accident management, and scoring."

"One of the most valuable features is their distributed scan model for allotting engines to work together as a pool and handle multiple scans at once, across multiple environments. Automatic scanning distribution is a distinguishing feature of their toolset."

"The initial setup process is simple."

"Tenable SC's most valuable features are the low number of false positives and the strong capability of providing prioritization for the vulnerabilities detected."

"The solution is very intuitive and the dashboards are simple to use."

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the user interface to make it more vibrant and interactive, similar to IT tools."

"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."

"Occasionally, I face a login problem despite entering the correct password."

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

"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."

More Claroty Platform cons

"If I want to have a very low-managed scan policy, it's a lot of work to create something which is very basic. If I use a tool like Nmap, all I have to do is download it, install it, type in the command, and it's good to go. In Security Center, I have to go through a lot of work to create a policy that's very basic."

"There's a lot of information being streamed out of the reports. What would be nice, and maybe we just haven't found it, would be more of an executive-type view. We still expect it to collect all this information, but we would like a feature that would allow us to show it to an executive or a director or someone like that and give them some type of high-level overview but not get into the nitty-gritty."

"The reporting side can be improved. The dashboards are nice, but exporting things out for reports for management was a little tough."

"Tenable.sc's user interface could be improved."

"Tenable SC can improve by adding more integrations with HCI-type tools and more accurate vulnerability detection."

"Tenable SC can improve by making it easier to create complicated reports and have more effectiveness in the remediation area for comparison between the scans."

"I think the vendor training provided for Tenable.sc could be a lower price. It's quite expensive for the training."

"Its reporting can be improved. It is not easy to generate a scan report the way we want. The data is okay, but we can't easily change the template to make it look the way we want."

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."

"My company needs to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs. The pricing of the solution falls in the mid-range level, so it is not too expensive"

"We're a Fortune 500 company... our licensing costs [are] in the seven figures."

"We're happy with the licensing cost and find it affordable."

"The price of Tenable SC is expensive, we pay approximately €70,000 for the license annually. We have to pay for each IP test. The cost of other solutions is far less, such as Nessus Professional, which is €3,000 annually."

"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, where ten is expensive. It is the most expensive tool my company is using."

"The licensing costs for this solution are approximately $100,000 US, and I think that covers everything."

"Costing is pretty reasonable compared to the competition."

"Tenable.sc is more expensive than its competitors."
