Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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 provides continuous threat protection and identifies pre-empty stuff and false positives."

"I have had a very good experience with the Claroty Platform."

"Customer service is number one and the best."

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

"Their SRA solution, the Secure Remote Access solution, is very useful for industrial environments."

"The product helps mitigate potential threats, especially if its users have signature rules. The product also provides alerts."

More Claroty Platform pros

"The best feature is that Zscaler allows for a separation between cloud applications and URL filtering. For example, under the cloud application segment, I can bypass Microsoft Office 365 without the need to add URLs manually. It's one click, so that's handy."

"The initial setup is straightforward and easy in comparison with other solutions."

"Cloud IPS integration is seamless, and it uses a Zero Trust model. It also simplifies overall user access management."

"The product's most valuable feature is complete SSL inspection."

"The initial setup process is easy."

Cons

"I think the only issue is that the hardware Claroty uses is expensive."

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

"There should be AI security solutions implemented."

"The graphical user interface is quite poor."

"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."

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

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

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

More Claroty Platform cons

"We encounter issues sharing IP addresses with other companies using the software."

"They have given limited free access for a year. Instead, they should increase the file size and give limited free access for around two months. It will allow engineers to evaluate the product."

"We recently had a significant issue with Zscaler. I think they have too many customers and some of their connection edge nodes went down because there were too many requests. I think they aren't scaling enough to keep up with the demand in some areas. That's one thing they should improve."

"There is always room for improvement."

"When it comes to scalability, the IPsec could be improved."

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."

"The software has become more expensive at present."

"Zscaler has so far been solely responsible for all the sales we have done with it, so it would be more suited than us to address any issues concerning the pricing."

"The product is not affordable for small and medium enterprises."
