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.

Enables cost-effective asset and threat management while requiring improvements in support and training
The time it takes to train itself is a concern. Initially, it will not identify many assets, as it needs time to read the information before finding the assets. Some detections can go wrong, and it may not understand certain industrial protocols. While installation and deployment are easy, upgrading from one version to another can be challenging. When you assure clients they will receive minus two upgrades, sometimes upgrading through the cloud becomes difficult, requiring on-site upgrades. During upgrades, the previous configuration may be lost, creating support issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I chose Nozomi because it is far ahead of other competitors, like Curator and Elastic."
"Nozomi Networks is the easiest to use, with the capability to build really quickly an overview of your infrastructure."
"The most valuable features of Nozomi Networks are the visibility of OT protocols and the versatility in finding the details of the assets feeding the tool."
"The clients were really impressed with Nozomi Networks mapping and asset inventory listing."
"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."
"Nozomi Networks has really offered a stellar performance within the organization and there is not any specific part that needs improvement for now."
"Nozomi Networks has impacted my organization positively because we have experience with a few other vendors, and their configuration, reliability, and even threat identification are significantly lower than Nozomi Networks capabilities."
"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."
"The initial setup was very easy, and I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"The product’s price is its most valuable feature."
"The clear distinction between IT and OT that Tenable OT provides is its most valuable feature."
"It's for securing the vulnerability of the OT solutions they are using. We mitigate those through patch management activities and find vulnerabilities easily with this security solution."
"The biggest advantage is that with good infrastructure, you can utilize asset planning when using Nessus along with Tenable OT Security."
"The product has easy-to-manage features and components."
"I like Tenable OT Security for two main reasons. Firstly, it helps identify vulnerabilities and risks for IT and OT assets, which is crucial for our operations. Secondly, it performs external port scanning, including vulnerability scans for open ports. Compared to the Claroty Platform, the tool offers detailed asset discovery capabilities."
"The active query inventory is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"Creating custom queries is time-consuming."
"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 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."
"Regarding the functionality of Nozomi Networks, the query syntax is very complicated. The syntax of the queries is very complex, so sometimes you will not get what you want."
"I would add that the documentation is lacking some information, so you need to ask customer support for it, but you cannot have everything."
"The pricing was quite high based on the end customer's perspective."
"In terms of improvements for Nozomi Networks, I believe clients have mentioned experiencing alert fatigue due to the high volume of notifications once they install the system in a previously unmonitored OT environment."
"On the negative side, I believe their AI, which is IQ, could be more improved."
"Tenable OT Security is fine, but I find it more language-based rather than structured. It feels like something is on a web page, and the dashboards and data representations are not cool. First of all, I said that the tool view should be improved. It looks pretty old. Second, the details Tenable OT Security provides regarding the metadata they work with should be more in-depth. Its main focus is vulnerability management, which is fine, but what about threat actors? What about attack vectors and OT vulnerabilities? There are major areas, baselines, etc. that need attention."
"The solution could detect changes in reading variables. The support of IoT devices can be improved."
"The solution should provide more features to prevent attacks."
"Tenable.ot's integration with one of the products needs improvement."
"Tenable OT product is good, but OT security itself is still maturing."
"During upgrades, the previous configuration may be lost, creating support issues."
"As an IT security professional, I would like to see automation improvements in the response part of Tenable OT Security. However, I understand that implementing automation in OT environments can be quite challenging."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is good and cheaper than that of Claroty."
"I have not seen any competition in terms of pricing, and it is quite reasonable."
"The product is inexpensive."
"The tool's pricing is fair enough."
