"The application control and vulnerability protection are the most valuable features."

"The most valuable features are that it's user-friendly, has interesting features, URL filtering, and threat prevention."
"The dashboard and reporting for this solution could be improved as it is currently complex. The GUI for this solution could also be improved."
"I believe their network monitoring device licensing module could use some improvement."
"Darktrace is a closed technology, meaning we know very little about how it works, including the architecture, which is significant. As a result, when we implement the system and find we're getting many false positives, we have minimal insight into why it's happening and what we can do to fix it. We don't know how the solution is configured, the criteria for threats to be determined, or the product's inner workings. We understand that they have to ensure privacy and their copyright, but we want to see some documentation or public research into the security Darktrace provides."
"It would be useful if there was a way to check to see if there are certain devices that are not in sync with the solution. I'm not sure if this is an option or not."
"This is quite an expensive product so the pricing is something that can be improved."
"I would like to see some additional enhancements."
"I would like to see more protection in the endpoint. Especially because we have a lot of people using VPNs. If they would improve end point security, it would give more control there."
"The interface is too mathematical and it should be simplified."
"Lack of tools to help educate end users"
