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…

It allows for a separation between cloud applications and URL filtering

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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 tool's best feature was the UI and the simplicity it offers."

"I believe the two main aspects where Claroty stands out are their ability to provide a complete platform and their OT-specific focus."

"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."

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

"The main advantage of Claroty, when compared to its competitors, is integrated secure remote access."

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 process is easy."

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

"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."

Cons

"If more AI features could be included with the Clarity solution, it would be feasible for everybody."

"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 are a few protocols that Claroty doesn't currently support."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

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."

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

"There is always room for improvement."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
