Claroty vs Ordr
Updated October 16, 2026
Hospital security teams that need to find and protect every connected device often compare Claroty and Ordr. Both list devices from network traffic and rank risks, but Claroty also covers building and industrial systems and passes rules to existing firewalls, while Ordr writes and enforces those rules itself. The overall scores tie, so the decision rests on your network setup.
Our analysts compared Claroty and Ordr on building systems, customer ratings, segmentation, risk ranking, and hospital fit, using the HIR review of each company and both vendors' newsrooms. In the following sections, we compare them closely, describe the hospital each suits, and list their recent releases.

| Not a fit for | Outpatient groups with few connected medical devices or building systems. | Teams that will not act on the device risks it finds. |
Which fits which buyer
Check whether you want the tool to enforce rules or hand them off.
Choose Claroty if

- Your firewalls and access tools should enforce the rules.
Choose Ordr if
- You want the platform to write and enforce segmentation rules itself.
- You want fewer extra tools in the security stack.
- You want an AI assistant that answers device questions for analysts.
Verdict
The two tie on score, so pick Claroty when building systems and KLAS ratings matter most. Pick Ordr when you want one product to find risky devices and wall them off.
Neither helps a team that will not act on findings.
