Malebo Lethoba Group - PeerSpot reviewer
Have found the AI analyst and detection functions highly valuable for network operations while managing complexity in initial setup
The functions I find most valuable in Darktrace are the AI analyst as well as the detection.The autonomous response capabilities of Darktrace are not crucial for me because it doesn't work in a network where there are no core switches. In a modern network, the autonomous response doesn't work, especially when sitting in a shared data center.If I'm running a traditional network where I am not in a shared data center with a layer two dedicated for my resources, then it can work for me. However, 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.
Sheikh Abu Ayub Azad - PeerSpot reviewer
Great at managing cyber incidents; the technical support could be improved
The initial setup is easy, partly because LogRhythm is primarily based on the Windows platform. It's good to have two engineers for deployment but it can be done with one. It's more about the knowledge. Deployment is typically done in two or three different phases. It usually takes up to three full months to get good deployment. There's the initial onboarding of all the log sources, then collecting data in the data lake, followed a couple of weeks later with some minor tuning before the final tuneup.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have found the most valuable features to be artificial intelligence for cybersecurity, advanced machine learning capabilities, enterprise Immune System, Antigena Network, and Antigena Email. The way the solution detects the threat over the network before it spreads is very good. It notifies you of what the threat is exactly doing and gives you all the details about the execution of that application that had created the threat over your network."
"It's a very stable product."
"The ability to see what we have not seen before is most valuable. It is very interesting to find out the most vulnerable devices in our network."
"Implementing this solution has given us confidence that we are secure."
"I like the Antigena feature in Darktrace, as it offers immediate response and is helpful."
"The most valuable feature is the endpoint protection."
"The most valuable feature of Darktrace is the AI that detects abnormal network activity."
"The platform has many modules, and each module examines a different situation in the behavior."
"The solution is useful for privilege accounts and super admin accounts. It is beneficial from a security perspective. The tool uses machine learning rather than threshold-based alerts. For instance, it can detect unusual user logins, such as a user logging in from a new browser or location."
"I can investigate attacks more quickly using machine learning tools."
"It has a lot of features. It has file integration monitoring."
"It is easy to monitor users and that is how the solution is adding value to our firm."
"The tool's most valuable feature is server threat hunting."
"LogRhythm UEBA’s best feature is the dashboard. It provides several graphs, charts, and event logs."
"Good capability pinpointing specific cyber incidents."
"The solution's most valuable features are the graphical user interface and the reporting."
 

Cons

"I would like to see a feature where the tool ingests information from an anti-malware product that is present at the endpoint."
"The interface is too mathematical and it should be simplified."
"There is a high ratio of false positive information."
"Darktrace could improve its features, such as monitoring and detecting ransomware."
"It's a very complex platform."
"In terms of improvements, fine-tuning is the area where we have to spend some time because it works on unsupervised machine learning. It would be good if they can improve their algorithm or technical functionality to reduce the fine-tuning effort. They can also come up with something at the endpoint level. So far, Darktrace has been a network detection response (NDR) solution. It does not offer much at the endpoint level or on user-client devices or servers. There should be more visibility at the endpoint level. It would be good to have the detection and response at the endpoint level by Darktrace. It should also have integration with an agile environment so that we can have continuous development and continuous integration in the application development environment. This is currently not there. It should also have internet-facing platform visibility, which is currently missing. They also need to improve the reporting and management dashboards. Currently, these are not so easy for a non-technical person. All these features would make Darktrace much better, and they would also be helpful in selling more solutions."
"The solution can improve the reporting."
"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 cloud version is lacking and not up to par."
"The on-premises LogRhythm is not very scalable. When considering packets per second or the MPS needed for additional logs such as web application logs, scalability is usually found in cloud products."
"The UI could be improved a little bit."
"It should have better mitigation with other solutions and be tightly integrated with other solutions. It has to be improved."
"The product could be user-friendly for someone who doesn’t have any prior experience working with it."
"LogRhythm UEBA's data aggregation needs to be improved. Open-source users do not have much documentation available. Documentation is available only for enterprise users."
"It would be helpful if there were more guidance provided for integrating with unsupported devices."
"What needs improvement in LogRhythm UEBA is the pricing. Here in Asia, for example, in Sri Lanka, pricing is the primary concern, and this is the only area for improvement I see in the product."
 

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."
"We've budgeted about 50,000 Kuwaiti dinars for the solution. That is a yearly operating cost."
"Our customers feel that the price of Darktrace is quite high compared to other solutions."
"Prior to negotiating, Darktrace offered their appliance and service for $80,000 per year."
"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."
"The pricing is subscription-based and it is high."
"When it comes to large installations, it can be expensive, but for small accounts it's fine."
"It is inexpensive considering what it can do and the competition."
"As LogRhythm UEBA is pretty expensive, I'd give its pricing a seven out of ten."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. It's not expensive compared to its competitors."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten. However, the cloud version is expensive. You need to hire professional services for deployment and migrations, which can be expensive."
"It is quite a budget-friendly product."
"The pricing is nice when compared to other products in the industry."
"LogRhythm UEBA's pricing is affordable for small and medium businesses."
