Find out what your peers are saying about Darktrace, Vectra AI, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS)."The most valuable feature of Cisco Cognitive Threat Analytics is its reliability."
"A simple, powerful AI solution that just does all the work for you when you turn it on."
"I find the complete portfolio to be excellent."
"We liked their approach to identifying intrusions or network anomalies using AI."
"The solution is stable. We've never had any problems with it."
"What I like about Darktrace, is that you can quickly identify threats."
"A very useful feature in Darktrace for real-time threat analysis is the packet inspection that analyzes the packet traffic in real time."
"Artificial intelligence and machine learning functionalities are valuable."
"Ability to see events and exactly what traffic or website the device had tried to connect to that raised the alert or issue."
"Cisco Cognitive Threat Analytics could improve by having quicker detection and response and web analysis."
"I believe their network monitoring device licensing module could use some improvement."
"The user interface and the configuration are a bit complex and should be improved or simplified."
"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."
"The module can improve so that every time it's more intelligent."
"In an upcoming release, there could be more customizable playbooks or a library of playbooks to choose from."
"I would like to see a feature where the tool ingests information from an anti-malware product that is present at the endpoint."
"One thing that I would like to look at going forward is to have a fully automated network infrastructure that is monitored automatically real-time, and that gives me this kind of capability where I would be able to look at my network at any given time and see the state of my network. With Darktrace, at the moment, I have to almost put in a date and tell them that want you to give me data from this date to this date. I don't want that. I want a fast solution in which it doesn't matter when I log into the application. Whenever I log in, I must be able to see my network and run a report. In other words, if I go in now and I say, "Give me a full report of what happened today, it must be able to give me that. It mustn't just be limited to a seven-day period, for argument's sake. It must be able to give me real-time and day-to-day tracking of what has happened within my network."
"They just need to make it a little bit more accurate as far as their alerts are concerned. It does generate some false positives that you have to tune. You have to do a lot of tuning when you first get it because of the false positives, but once it is all tuned up and ready to go, it will do its thing from there."
