We performed a comparison between Alert Logic and Darktrace based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution was consistently available, and I cannot recall any instances where it was down."
"Everything is in one dashboard; I'm notified when there's an incident and advised on what steps to take."
"The installation and configuration were slick."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The quicker implementation of changes to our infrastructure from Alert Logic tell us if there are any problems."
"It improves our security. Before, we didn't have anything scanning our containers. We had software scanning all the physical servers, but we had nothing to scan our containers. With Alert Logic, we can do that."
"While I still have on-premises appliances, I can remotely monitor everything from the cloud, and Alert Logic's ease-of-access features have helped me streamline my workflow and reduce implementation time."
"It has the ability to install agents. It is pretty straightforward. You can automate the process pretty easily."
"The models, triggers, and alerts are customizable."
"The Dynamic Threat Dashboard is very nice, as it lists all of your threats and rates them, and then you can choose whether to investigate further."
"It is very stable and easy to use."
"Ability to see events and exactly what traffic or website the device had tried to connect to that raised the alert or issue."
"The product offers us a very good user interface and we've found the network visibility to be very good so far."
"It is a very simple product to use."
"The active threat dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The product can scale."
"The documentation, especially with the initial setup, needs improvement."
"Alert Logic needs to expand its SOCs to serve more markets, such as the Middle East and Asia. There should be infrastructure that covers more time zones. The company should also develop an EDR that is natively integrated into their solution. Currently, a client must buy another EDR solution like CrowdStrike or Sophos. I think Alert Logic is developing this. Built-in email security could also be developed and integrated."
"The product needs to mature. We don't want to be bombarded with unnecessary issues and have the real ones slip through."
"The setup process was complex."
"Could be more of an endpoint protector."
"They have ideas and email you whatever they find, but they don't have a dedicated security team who will work on an attack or a specific security instance."
"This product needs to mature more. While it is a good product, there are some areas where it needs work."
"I would like more data on the alert payload. It would be good to have the ability to customize the alert payload to add whatever data that we want on there. Right now, it is a bit limited."
"The solution would benefit from automation. Currently, you have to know what you are searching for."
"Darktrace could improve its features, such as monitoring and detecting ransomware."
"Darktrace could expand into EDR (endpoint detection and response) and combine it with its network detection."
"I'd love them to see maybe covering the cloud a bit more."
"Its documentation is not up to the mark. At times, I have a lot of trouble finding a solution. Even when I posted questions on the community chats, it took a lot of time for me to get answers. That's something that can be improved. Darktrace can focus on creating a more interactive community. If there are more people from Darktrace to focus on community chats, it would be better."
"One thing I would like is for Darktrace to flag SMB traffic more accurately. Currently, it only flags that SMB traffic has occurred, but it doesn't specify which file was being transferred. This makes it difficult to investigate incidents involving SMB traffic, as we don't have concrete evidence of what was being sent."
"It takes time to go through the interface and pick up things. If it were a more straightforward interface, then it would free up time."
"I was under impression that Darktrace's automatic blocking would be an out-of-the-box feature, but we had to integrate it with our firewall to get it to block automatically. The salesperson should be upfront and explain that you need to integrate it with your network. I would also like to see more reporting on risk. Banks in my region want to see at a glance the risk level of various assets."
