Consistent threat hunting and anomaly detection deliver valuable insights for network security management
In terms of improvement for Darktrace, pricing is the main concern. Pricing bothers me and this is one of the major factors when choosing a solution. When we get feedback from customers, that's the only felt need. When we factor in Darktrace, we do it only limited. We put it on where the perimeters and connections are, but still, some gray areas are left out, especially if we have multiple branches. 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.

The tool provides excellent sandboxing and email security features, but the backup and recovery features are not good
If my primary solution is down, no backup solution is available to restore it. It is one of the biggest weaknesses of the platform. If I need to update the solution, there is no option to pick the events and the logs from it and deploy it in another solution. The backup and recovery features of the product are not good. I need backup. If the tool is down for some time, I cannot get the logs at that particular time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I particularly like Antigena and the analytics around the real-time monitoring of our network. I also like its reporting because it has got a seven-day reporting period within the system. Every time you run the reports, it gives you the data about the previous seven days. I like that because it is in real-time. I enjoy reading those reports and getting a very clear and decisive idea of what's happening on my network on a real-time basis. I like the actual real-time monitoring of spoofing and things like that. I also like the user monitoring as well as the network logging capabilities."
"The active threat dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"Darktrace is very stable, and I would rate its stability a ten out of ten."
"Technical support is helpful and responsive."
"Darktrace is very useful for us because it has a large number of models for detecting threats."
"This is something that is really easy to implement in an organization, gives us good visibility about what is happening in our networks and on the system, and we like the transparency available within our infrastructure now."
"One member of staff is enough for deployment and maintenance because Darkforce is AI-driven; it does a lot of things by itself."
"The autonomous mode, which is the Antigena AI response, is particularly valuable."
"The email security feature is really good."
"The Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform provides visibility into telemetry data, enabling comprehensive monitoring of environmental activities."
"The solution is very easy to use. Its interface is very simple, and you can build IOC's indicators. You can use your rules to detect these attacks because you can leverage threat intelligence. Y"
"The most valuable use is detailing metadata collection from the endpoint and network."
"I feel the anti-ransomware update is one of the tool's valuable features."
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is stable and runs all the time."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
 

Cons

"The management user interface needs improvement."
"In an upcoming release, there could be more customizable playbooks or a library of playbooks to choose from."
"The level of tracking within the network from the transmission level up to the machine level can use improvement."
"It can have more integration with orchestration or event management solutions. They can provide more knowledge or research information for analysts for investigating cases and detecting anomalies in networks."
"If asked to rate Darktrace support on a scale from zero to ten where ten is the best, I would give them five points."
"With Darktrace, at the moment, I have to almost put in a date and tell them that I want you to give me data from this date to this date."
"I am not so satisfied with the pricing model for Darktrace. The price is a little bit high compared to other solutions."
"I would like to see some additional enhancements."
"The solution lacks cloud integrations."
"I think the tool is still not really good enough for integration compared to other products."
"The backup and recovery features of the product are not good."
"The blind spot or gap in the platform is network analysis functionality."
"The solution lacks cloud integrations."
"In some of the places I have come across, even though they use Kaspersky, the ransomware enters their system."
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is not a good product. We had problems with endpoints and the solution did not detect it. We didn't get any alerts about the attack."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was $3,600 a month or $2,000 plus or so. I am not sure. Its licensing is pretty simple."
"The price of Darktrace is high and could be reduced. We pay approximately $30,000 to $54,000 annually."
"The pricing is very flexible for Darktrace. Sometimes, a customer does not have the appropriate budget, but Darktrace can handle that. They offer monthly payments, so the customer can acquire the solution very easily."
"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."
"The price of the solution is not cheap. It is not a one-time purchase, there is a subscription that needs to be paid every one to five years depending on your choice. It is expensive but you can reduce the price by only using the services that you want."
"It is inexpensive considering what it can do and the competition."
"The tool's pricing is costly."
"I am using a demo of Darktrace for deployment and testing which is free."
"The solution has competitive pricing."
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is cheap."
"Kaspersky is one of the cheaper solutions."
