Acalvio ShadowPlex is a commercial honeypots & deception tool by Acalvio Technologies. Glastopf Analytics is a free honeypots & deception tool. Compare features, ratings, integrations, and community reviews side by side to find the best honeypots & deception fit for your security stack.
CST VerdictBased 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.
Research teams and honeypot operators who need to extract actionable patterns from Glastopf deployments will find this tool indispensable; it turns raw SQLite logs into visualizations that expose attack frequency, geography, and payload trends without requiring a separate analytics stack. The Python-based architecture means you're analyzing data in the same environment where Glastopf runs, eliminating pipeline complexity. Skip this if you're looking for a polished dashboard or cross-honeypot correlation; Glastopf Analytics is purpose-built for single-honeypot operators who can write Python and want to understand their own attack telemetry.
