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 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' 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."
"Dragos is more expensive than other vendors, probably about fifteen to twenty percent more, but it is generally worth the investment."
"It has impacted security operations in a better way."
"This is a good product and I definitely recommend it."
"The feature I like best is its stability."
"The network visualization feature of Nozomi impacts security operations positively."
"The most valuable feature of Nozomi Networks is its security features."
"I chose Nozomi because it is far ahead of other competitors, like Curator and Elastic."
"Nozomi Networks is an easy-to-use and powerful tool."
"It brings visibility into the OT environment because most of the enterprises only have methods to check their IT environment."
 

Cons

"Dragos should be improved in deployment complexity as it requires OT engineering coordination."
"Dragos could improve its asset visibility and discovery tools, as the competitor Claroty has better options in this area."
"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."
"We have faced downtimes, crashes, or performance issues with certain implementations."
"Nozomi Networks should improve its pricing."
"I would like more customizable options for configurations."
"The solution should include an integration library."
"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."
"It should support more programmable logic controllers (PLCs)."
"On the negative side, I believe their AI, which is IQ, could be more improved."
"Proof of concept could be improved. It could be more tangible to the customer and the end users to have a video presentation or something like that."
