Product support comparison
Recorded product facts are shown separately from buyer-specific recommendation scores. “Not yet verified” means evidence is incomplete; it does not mean the product lacks the capability.
| Product | Status | Confidence | Implementation | Evidence | Limitations / notes | Last verified |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Supported | 99% | Not recorded | 1 source | CTD explicitly combines Passive, Active and AppDB discovery methods for deeper asset visibility. | Sep 19, 2026 | |
DP Dragos Platform Dragos | Supported | 99% | Not recorded | 1 source | Dragos Active Collector adds targeted active collection for firmware, OS, patch and device details while preserving passive-first discovery. | Sep 19, 2026 |
TO Tenable One OT Exposure Tenable | Supported | 99% | Not recorded | 1 source | Safe Active Query uses vendor-approved native industrial protocols to enrich assets with firmware, backplane, lifecycle and vulnerability details. | Sep 19, 2026 |
NN Nozomi Networks Platform Nozomi Networks | Partially Supported | 99% | Not recorded | 1 source | Smart Polling adds low-volume active asset enrichment, but it is an add-on capability rather than assumed in every Nozomi platform deployment. | Sep 19, 2026 |
MD Microsoft Defender for IoT Microsoft | Partially Supported | 98% | Not recorded | 1 source | Microsoft documents passive and active agentless monitoring, but active-discovery depth varies by device and deployment and is not treated as equivalent to every vendor-specific safe-query implementation. | Sep 19, 2026 |

How to use this comparison
Support status
Supported, conditional, unknown and not-supported states are kept distinct so missing evidence is not treated as a negative fact.
Confidence
Confidence reflects the strength of the recorded evidence for this capability, not overall product quality.
Fit for your company
A product can strongly support this capability and still be a poor overall fit due to deployment, integrations, security, region, budget or other must-haves.
