Passive scanning excels and support proves invaluable
Regarding the cons of the Claroty Platform, it is not about the deployment, but rather the identification. The Claroty Platform becomes too noisy when it gives numerous CVEs related to vendor match. Sometimes, these CVEs are not actually related to the device in the firmware at the site. The Claroty Platform identifies effectively but sometimes identifies many CVEs which might not be the actual issue in certain scenarios.

Stable product with valuable SSL inspection features
We use Zscaler Cloud IPS for threat protection, full SSL inspection, and data center scalability. It integrates with multiple products, including cloud firewalls, cloud sandboxing, Cloud Security Broker (CSB), and Data Loss Prevention (DLP). It helps us allow or block specific TCP or UDP ports…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The platform ensures security without imposing significant delays, boosts productivity, and allows secure remote access to engineers through advanced methods while providing seamless integration with legacy systems and supporting both passive and active reconnaissance."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the map, which shows everything that is connected and communicates with each other."
"Claroty provides continuous threat protection and identifies pre-empty stuff and false positives."
"The main advantage of Claroty, when compared to its competitors, is integrated secure remote access."
"I believe the two main aspects where Claroty stands out are their ability to provide a complete platform and their OT-specific focus."
"The platform ensures security without imposing significant delays."
"Claroty identifies all vulnerabilities available in our environment."
"Their SRA solution, the Secure Remote Access solution, is very useful for industrial environments."
"Cloud IPS integration is seamless, and it uses a Zero Trust model. It also simplifies overall user access management."
"The initial setup is straightforward and easy in comparison with other solutions."

"Cloud IPS integration is seamless, and it uses a Zero Trust model, and it also simplifies overall user access management."
"The product's most valuable feature is complete SSL inspection."
"The initial setup process is easy."
"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 best feature is that Zscaler allows for a separation between cloud applications and URL filtering."
 

Cons

"Occasionally, I face a login problem despite entering the correct password."
"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."
"Claroty Platform could improve the pricing to get more acceptability in the market."
"Introducing an AI chatbot to assist you when you have doubts could be beneficial."
"The Claroty Platform becomes too noisy when it gives numerous CVEs related to vendor match. Sometimes, these CVEs are not actually related to the device in the firmware at the site."
"More modularity would be helpful for Claroty Platform to improve its competitiveness."
"The product could be improved in terms of user interface design."
"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 is always room for improvement."
"When it comes to scalability, the IPsec could be improved."
"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."
"When it comes to scalability, the IPsec could be improved."
"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."
"There is always room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is quite expensive."
"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."
"It's a bit expensive compared to other solutions."
"The product is not affordable for small and medium enterprises."
"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."
