Acalvio ShadowPlex is a commercial honeypots & deception tool by Acalvio Technologies. CounterCraft The Platform is a commercial honeypots & deception tool by CounterCraft. Compare features, ratings, integrations, and community reviews side by side to find the best honeypots & deception fit for your security stack.
Based on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, company size fit, deployment model, here is our conclusion:
Mid-market and enterprise security teams with exposed APIs, web applications, or IoT infrastructure should use ShadowPlex to catch reconnaissance and credential attacks before they reach production systems. The platform's external-facing decoys generate high-fidelity threat intelligence in STIX format while monitoring for password spraying and brute-force attempts, directly addressing ID.RA and DE.CM in NIST CSF 2.0. Skip this if your attack surface is entirely internal or if you need deep visibility into post-breach lateral movement; ShadowPlex is optimized for early detection at the perimeter, not incident response.
Enterprise and mid-market security teams with both IT and OT networks should pick CounterCraft The Platform if you need attackers actively contained and interrogated before they touch production systems. The platform's 24-48 hour adversary isolation in digital deception environments generates forensic-grade threat intelligence automatically mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, which directly feeds your detection and response workflows; this matters more than passive honeypots for teams with dwell-time pressure. Skip this if your priority is preventing initial access or you lack the operational bandwidth to triage deception alerts; CounterCraft assumes attackers are already inside and your team can act on that assumption.
