## What the models said for it

- "Nozomi Networks Guardian / Vantage. Passive, agentless discovery and multi-site cloud console is the most cited fit for manufacturers with limited SOC staff." (Muse Glimmer 30B, OT/IoT security)
- "Choose Nozomi/Dragos if you want to understand the commands being sent and prevent malicious manipulation of physical processes." (Qwen 3.7 Flash, OT/IoT security)
- "My default recommendation: Nozomi Networks Guardian, with Vantage for centralized management if you have multiple sites." (GPT-6 Luna, OT/IoT security)
- "One site with a reasonably modern control system speaking mainstream protocols should deploy Nozomi Networks or Claroty" (Muse Glimmer 30B, OT/IoT security)

## And against it

- "Avoid premium OT-native leaders like Claroty ... or Nozomi (great passive sensors)" (Grok 4.20, OT/IoT security)
- "Most enterprise-grade platforms (like Dragos, Claroty, or Nozomi Networks) cost $100,000+ annually, which is out of reach for small budgets." (GLM 4.7 FlashX, OT/IoT security)
- "Check ownership implications, roadmap control, data residency, and contract terms because it is now owned by Mitsubishi Electric." (Perplexity Sonar, OT/IoT security)
- "Most enterprise solutions like Dragos, Nozomi Networks, and Claroty require custom quotes, often in the six-figure range." (Claude Haiku 4.5, OT/IoT security)
