Detailed observability has transformed agent monitoring and now detects hallucinations quickly
I think everything is there to be true. I do not think there is a scope for improvement in Arize AI. Everything is there. It has a steep learning curve. It takes time to see how Arize works. It is not a very basic thing where anyone can go and start doing it because it takes time. There is a steep learning curve for Arize AI. Because there are so many things in the model or in an agent, it takes time. It is not very easy to use, it takes time. It has a lot of advantages, but it takes time to learn how Arize works. As I mentioned earlier, it has a steep learning curve. It takes time to learn Arize AI, it takes time to configure, it takes time to create dashboards and monitors, and it takes time to understand the UI and determine what can I find where. It takes time to do all of that. It has a steep learning curve.

Monitoring has improved data loss detection and now spots abnormal internal file transfers quickly
In my understanding, the best feature Darktrace offers is the identification of copying files, which acts as a DLP, and it is a main concern for companies because users sometimes copy data outside without knowing, especially those without a technical background. When I mention the DLP-like feature and file copying detection, the alerts have been very timely, as we get an alert within a couple of minutes, which is excellent. Even if some developers are working after hours and copying files, our SOC team detects this, and most of the time they call us so we can identify the users. The alerts are quite accurate and proactive.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Arize AI has made leadership more comfortable with introducing AI features by providing better visibility into failures and reducing unexpected issues in production."
"Arize AI stands out to me because of its observability and traceability and ease of use; you can click and you are good to go, and it makes you catch bugs and issues very early before debugging while helping you monitor your models in production."
"One of the major improvements is that prior to using Arize AI, our agent was hallucinating and we were not aware of when it hallucinates or we had a problem in debugging."
"Our timely actions, aided by Arize AI, have allowed us to report results with over 99% accuracy, proving it quite useful."
"Arize AI, with its major features similar to those platforms, is a good alternative."
"Arize AI has positively impacted my organization by reducing most of our manual work, shifting us to complete automation, reducing working hours, and allowing us to focus more on accuracy with less chance of mistakes."
"In my day-to-day work, monitoring is the main focus, and while there are many other tools like Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring, for ML specific use cases, I think Arize AI is the best."
"Arize AI has positively impacted my organization as the answers are more accurate and agent quality has improved dramatically."
"Darktrace's most valuable features are that it understands the network environment and is able to trace the traffic and alert on anomalies."
"It provides a comprehensive cybersecurity solution that monitors my cloud accounts as well as my local network."
"I have found the most valuable features to be artificial intelligence for cybersecurity, advanced machine learning capabilities, enterprise Immune System, Antigena Network, and Antigena Email. The way the solution detects the threat over the network before it spreads is very good. It notifies you of what the threat is exactly doing and gives you all the details about the execution of that application that had created the threat over your network."
"This solution is both scalable and stable."
"The solution automatically monitors everything on the network to prevent anti-phishing by monitoring, responding, and restoring the system."
"The product is extremely stable and mature."
"It is a stable solution."
"Darktrace is a good product and it can be implemented on premises."
 

Cons

"I think we can improve its interface."
"More end-to-end architecture examples would be beneficial as current technical documentation is solid, but more practical examples are desired."
"The evaluation workflow lacks depth in comparison to competitors, which generally rely on traditional ML frameworks."
"I think Arize AI lacks some capabilities like a versioning system."
"It has a steep learning curve."
"Arize AI can add more functions."
"We mostly use Arize AI for the ML side, but in my experience, Arize AI lacks on the GenAI side."
"The solution's user interface and stability could be improved."
"It can have more integration with orchestration or event management solutions."
"It would be good if they can include some endpoint protection for remote workers. Nowadays, most people are working remotely. Therefore, they should include some type of sensors that can be installed on the endpoint in order to directly report the main usage and protect remotely. Phone protection will also be a great feature to add to Darktrace."
"The pricing is costly in USD, and they charge based on device counts."
"The cost is a bit on the higher side."
"It is expensive, but everything else has been great so far."
"The dashboard and reporting for this solution could be improved as it is currently complex. The GUI for this solution could also be improved."
"The level of tracking within the network from the transmission level up to the machine level can use improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We had an issue with pricing initially and had to cancel some of the features of the projects to fit the budget. I would like to see pricing that is not broken up into parts so that we can buy the whole package once. Darktrace is more expensive than an average solution, but it's functionality won't match that of an average solution."
"I'm unfamiliar with the exact cost, but we have a yearly license and had to pay for Darktrace's services before the deployment. The product is very expensive, so some organizations can't afford to pay the total amount directly, meaning they often seek a partner or pay in installments, which increases the price more."
"It is a very expensive product."
"The cost of the solution can be reduced to make it more appealing to customers."
"The cost is moderate."
"The tool's pricing is costly."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The cost of the solution is expensive for smaller businesses. They will not be able to afford it or might not need this type of security solution."
