## What the models said for it

- "Offers the broadest range of deployment form factors and has the most extensive OT and IoT device coverage by asset type count and the strongest scalability" (Claude Haiku 4.5, OT/IoT security)
- "Claroty and Nozomi are widely regarded as market leaders for broad asset visibility and risk posture." (Gemini 3.5 Flash, OT/IoT security)

## And against it

- "Avoid if budget is tight: Nozomi Networks" (Perplexity Sonar, OT/IoT security)
- "The presence of recent high-severity privilege and authentication issues does not mean the product should be avoided outright, it means deployments must be kept current" (Muse Glimmer 30B, OT/IoT security)
