The way the Claroty Platform has considered and included the active scanning part has made it quite scalable.

Room For Improvement

The Claroty Platform requires improvements in detection, integration, UI, pricing, documentation, training, and vulnerability management for better performance.
Darktrace needs better integration, interface, pricing, reporting, user-friendliness, automation, documentation, and collaboration to reduce false positives and improve protection.
Additionally, reducing the overall cost of hardware and software solutions would be beneficial.
As AI is booming now, there are concerns about AI security.
Sometimes, these CVEs are not actually related to the device in the firmware at the site.
There is no dedicated salesperson in Egypt, and having one would help to improve focus on this market.
They say they can integrate with most firewalls, but when we did an integration with Meraki MX firewalls, that integration didn't work and still doesn't work to this day.
Darktrace could improve by integrating with email security gateways like Mimecast or Ironscales.
 

Setup Cost

Claroty Platform is expensive yet valued for free deployment, with costs justified by its robust security features.
Enterprise buyers have mixed pricing perceptions of Darktrace, with costs up to $350,000 annually and flexible payment options.
One unique aspect of Claroty is that users get all the deployments for free.
The cost of the Claroty Platform is comparatively high.
The cost is as per the standard market.
The product is considered expensive compared to others.
The pricing is costly in USD, and they charge based on device counts.
The licensing cost is approximately eight dollars a year.
 

Valuable Features

Claroty Platform enhances network management with real-time monitoring and threat detection, offering secure access and comprehensive vulnerability insights.
Darktrace provides AI-driven threat detection and autonomous response, offering real-time monitoring, high visibility, and minimal human intervention.
The ability to detect and classify assets, assess vulnerabilities, and manage patches and updates effectively is highly beneficial.
They offer threat detection, asset management, vulnerability management, and remote access, which makes them the sole vendor in the OT security space to offer all three services.
Additionally, their SRA solution, the Secure Remote Access solution, is very useful for industrial environments.
It is capable of responding to lateral movement and ransomware deployment within environments where there is data exfiltration.
I do not need to manually process incidents as Darktrace provides an incident summary, potential detection paths, and other details, all exportable with just a click.
If I am in a data center where I don't have layer two, it becomes an issue because the autonomous response is reliant on sending spoofed TCP resets to my core switch to block traffic, which is a major issue.

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…
Malebo Lethoba Group - PeerSpot reviewer
Have found the AI analyst and detection functions highly valuable for network operations while managing complexity in initial setup
The functions I find most valuable in Darktrace ( /products/darktrace-reviews ) are the AI analyst as well as the detection.The autonomous response capabilities of Darktrace are not crucial for me because it doesn't work in a network where there are no core switches. In a modern network, the autonomous response doesn't work, especially when sitting in a shared data center.If I'm running a traditional network where I am not in a shared data center with a layer two dedicated for my resources, then it can work for me. However, if I am in a data center where I don't have layer two, it becomes an issue because the autonomous response is reliant on sending spoofed TCP resets to my core switch to block traffic, which is a major issue.
