We performed a comparison between Cisco NGIPS and Darktrace based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of this solution is its modularity, so whenever you need to upgrade or add another service, you don't need to buy another box."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Ir's signature-based. We are also using the anomaly baseline formation, where it links the network, then anything that goes away from the norm is also flagged. Those are the two most valuable features."
"I like how NGIPS has everything in one console."
"I configured the system myself and the process was okay."
"In the virtual deployment, you have a couple of choices depending on your needs and how much bandwidth you have that needs to be inspected."
"I have found the filter and the antivirus to be most valuable."
"Good IPS and VirtualBox features."
"The product can scale."
"I like the Antigena feature in Darktrace, as it offers immediate response and is helpful."
"The most valuable feature of Darktrace and the most valuable feature is the artificial intelligence module because that is the tool that determines automatically if there is any risk or not in the network."
"I am impressed with the product's ability to give insights into network traffic."
"The initial setup is simple."
"What I like about Darktrace, is that you can quickly identify threats."
"The most valuable feature of Darktrace is the AI that detects abnormal network activity."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are its full capabilities. You have visibility of everything."
"More flexibility with the dashboards is needed because some of them are not fully developed."
"The price of Cisco NGIPS could improve."
"NGIPS' GUI interface could be improved and made more user-friendly."
"I would like to see the sanctions lifted so we could use the full solution and have the speed increased."
"The initial setup is a bit complex because it requires a lot of configuration, firewall and zoning."
"The user interface needs some improvement, it is a little rudimentary and not very intuitive."
"The file trajectory, the trace in contamination files, could be improved."
"The SSL decrypt could be improved, but it's normal. All the devices in our platform need a lot of memory or CPU to do the SSL decrypt. This is an issue to improve in all platforms, not only in Cisco."
"I believe their network monitoring device licensing module could use some improvement."
"The product doesn't have an endpoint agent that can react to triggers set on the device,"
"This product needs more in terms of prevention. The detection capabilities work well but once a threat has been detected, Darktrace should work to prevent it from doing anything malicious."
"It would be helpful if they could recognize incidents and simplify the customer's challenge to identify what is happening."
"I would like to see some additional enhancements."
"Darktrace does not have any capabilities to configure."
"The pricing model is a little too high and could be more flexible."
"It's a very complex platform."
