Find out in this report how the two AI Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
Other NDR solutions provide virtual appliances that can be deployed on virtualization servers to get up and running quickly.
Using this solution provides financial benefits by securing from server attacks, which offers indirect savings.
The technical support from Darktrace is of high quality.
Darktrace provides excellent technical support with a monthly meeting to review platform incidents, ensuring the system functions as expected.
The challenge lies in waiting for a response after logging a ticket.
Local tech support is available, however, for more critical or technical issues, we depend on the OEM directly, especially when it comes to on-prem solutions.
There is a knowledgeable, though small, team of support engineers around the world.
They take some time to respond because they need logs and investigations, which delays the response time.
Darktrace has high scalability, and I would rate it a nine out of ten.
Since it's cloud-based, it expands easily.
There is still a gap in terms of storage, and we are trying to figure out how to increase that capacity for regulated environments, which require data retention for 5 to 6 years.
At any point in time, when network devices increase or there is a change in the infrastructure, we can add more workers and collectors to expand our infrastructure setup.
Fortinet FortiSIEM is highly scalable.
Fortinet FortiSIEM is easy to scale.
The stability of Darktrace is excellent, rated ten out of ten.
The appliance itself has never let me down.
For stability, I would rate Darktrace an eight out of ten.
It stabilizes itself in an appropriate time, so its uptime is good.
These issues may cause unusual errors and user interface issues.
Some stability issues occur, but Fortinet's technical support team provides assistance.
There is no dedicated salesperson in Egypt, and having one would help to improve focus on this market.
They say they can integrate with most firewalls, but when we did an integration with Meraki MX firewalls, that integration didn't work and still doesn't work to this day.
We need Darktrace on each branch to get the data out, and I suggest having some kind of a centralized product that gets data from multiple sources to aggregate and provide the data.
Recently, they revised it to a subscription-based, all-inclusive license.
The built-in APIs in Fortinet FortiSIEM are somewhat lacking and could be improved for better integration with external ITSM products.
Fortinet FortiSIEM should broaden its remediation part to include more features for incident management.
The product is considered expensive compared to others.
The pricing is costly in USD, and they charge based on device counts.
The licensing cost is approximately eight dollars a year.
Setting it up for oneself as an enterprise-licensed product can be quite expensive.
Windows agent licenses cost around 3,000 Rupees per device per year.
The revised model is subscription-based and more flexible.
It is capable of responding to lateral movement and ransomware deployment within environments where there is data exfiltration.
I do not need to manually process incidents as Darktrace provides an incident summary, potential detection paths, and other details, all exportable with just a click.
If I am in a data center where I don't have layer two, it becomes an issue because the autonomous response is reliant on sending spoofed TCP resets to my core switch to block traffic, which is a major issue.
It provides extensive logging and record-keeping for internal networks, cloud applications, and services as well as perimeter physical network security.
I find the real-time monitoring and correlation capabilities effective for security alerts.
