Risk monitoring has improved and real-time fraud detection provides transparent banking control
Dragos should be improved in deployment complexity as it requires OT engineering coordination. One needs to have proper engineering coordination to understand the system, deploy it, integrate it, and make all the complex things into one system. This is very challenging, and one should be really skillful and have experience to accomplish this. Cost is another area for improvement. The cost is higher due to site-based licensing and expert services. The licensing is very heavy, and expert services are required for deployment. Cost-wise is also challenging and needs to be improved. Integration needs alignment with IT security systems and compliance frameworks. Controlling cybersecurity where any fraudulent person or third party should not access the system is controlled, and managing that level of complexity is quite challenging. Since there is continuous monitoring, it can reduce operational risk losses by 20% to 30% annually. Controlling that huge amount of data and transactions, especially regarding storage, requires a lot of database space. The space-wise storage should be reduced.

Comprehensive dashboards have enabled detailed asset visibility and proactive risk mitigation
On the negative side, I believe their AI, which is IQ, could be more improved. For example, when I export any data, there are only 50 columns available. What if there were more columns? Nozomi Networks does not provide that data, so I have to go to the query section. The AI is currently useful for writing queries in English that are converted into their coding language for queries. Sometimes it provides the correct data, and sometimes it does not understand the request. From my attempts, I would say 50 percent of the time it has given me the proper data, and 50 percent of the time it might need improvement. Every day or week, new threat intelligence and AI upgrades are being released for Vantage, and all those upgrades are being implemented. Things are getting better, but I believe there are areas of improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Dragos' best features are that they are more focused towards Incident Response, so they have a dedicated playbook in their platform, making it easier for anyone investigating any incidents to investigate the alerts."
"I have been working with Dragos almost since the time when they started the company."
"Dragos has positively impacted my organization by aiding us to compensate our time."
"Dragos especially ensures systems recover quickly, providing resilience, and it handles all the operational resilience in banking with metrics of 99.9% uptime, 30 minutes recovery time, and 99% transaction accuracy."
"Dragos is more expensive than other vendors, probably about fifteen to twenty percent more, but it is generally worth the investment."
"The best feature of Nozomi Networks is that it has built OT-oriented protocols such as OPC UA, DNP3, Modbus, and Siemens S7, and for these protocols, Nozomi Networks identifies them very perfectly."
"The return on investment from Nozomi Networks is substantial, particularly concerning time saved."
"Our last customer using Nozomi Networks is very happy with it and appreciates the reports and all features, and they use Nozomi Networks in the SOC where the technical people monitor and see the performance of the OT product and are very satisfied."
"This is a good product and I definitely recommend it."
"The clients were really impressed with Nozomi Networks mapping and asset inventory listing."
"There is definitely a notable return on investment from Nozomi Networks, including financial savings and time efficiency."
"The feature I like best is its stability."
"Nozomi Networks has impacted our organization positively as we have gained trust from customers in terms of the technology results and everything that the technology brings."
 

Cons

"From my point of view, Dragos cannot be improved at the moment, but having more user-friendly platforms would be good."
"I think Dragos can offer more flexibility similar to Nozomi and more visibility into the assets, nodes, and links, which would make it more competitive in the future."
"Dragos should be improved in deployment complexity as it requires OT engineering coordination."
"Dragos basically helped us get to know the entire infrastructure because there were many devices that not even the client themselves knew existed or that were still active, making it a very good tool; however, it requires a lot of hardware and knowledge, especially expertise from people who have worked in the industry and know security, which was lacking in the company where it was implemented, leading to lucky hits but ultimately prompting my decision to change companies."
"Dragos is very expensive, charging more than the OEMs. For example, if a PLC costs ten thousand dollars, a customer pays Dragos almost one to ten price in relation to what they would have spent building their plant."
"Dragos could improve its asset visibility and discovery tools, as the competitor Claroty has better options in this area."
"I think Nozomi Networks should still work on the graphical user interface because it can be more friendly in terms of user experience, especially regarding the flows, the workflows, the intuitiveness of certain things and positions of certain buttons or even creating a dashboard for yourself in a way easier manner."
"Nozomi Networks pricing is very high."
"My experience with Nozomi Networks' AI capabilities indicates that while I have tested it multiple times, it is not completely accurate."
"We have faced downtimes, crashes, or performance issues with certain implementations."
"I see challenges with Nozomi Networks mainly as a detection or visibility tool, but it does not actively block traffic by design for safety reasons."
"Nozomi Networks can be improved by integrating with other technologies so that teams look at a single dashboard when it comes to security issues."
"I think Nozomi Networks can be improved by enhancing the size of the boxes and the performance for collecting logs, and of course, the price."
"The main challenge with mapping Nozomi Networks for asset inventory was the new integrations."
