Effective asset management improves OT security by quantifying risks and identifying unauthorized communications
Nozomi Networks currently offers add-ons, such as ARP agents, that can be installed on machines to expand the information we receive from sensors. However, these are part of a licensing structure, which can be costly. It would be very helpful if these agents were available free of charge. The solution itself has no major problems, but this is a feature request I would make for 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.

Pros

"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."

"Provides security for our operational technology environment for OT and IoT."
"The feature I like best is its stability."
"It has impacted security operations in a better way."
"The initial setup was very easy, and I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"The product has easy-to-manage features and components."
"The product’s price 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 clear distinction between IT and OT that Tenable OT provides is its most valuable feature."
"The biggest advantage is that with good infrastructure, you can utilize asset planning when using Nessus along with Tenable OT Security."
"The active query inventory is the most valuable feature."
"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."
 

Cons

"Creating custom queries is time-consuming."
"It should support more programmable logic controllers (PLCs)."
"Nozomi Networks should improve its pricing."
"I believe there is room for improvement regarding on-premises AI."
"I would like more customizable options for configurations."
"Nozomi Networks currently offers add-ons, such as ARP agents, that can be installed on machines to expand the information we receive from sensors. However, these are part of a licensing structure, which can be costly."
"The solution should include an integration library."
"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."
"The solution should provide more features to prevent attacks."
"The solution could detect changes in reading variables. The support of IoT devices can be improved."
"Tenable.ot's integration with one of the products needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"As an IT security professional, I would like to see automation improvements in the response part of Tenable OT Security."
"Tenable OT product is good, but OT security itself is still maturing."
"During upgrades, the previous configuration may be lost, creating support issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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