Pasan Jayarathna - PeerSpot reviewer
Network Security Engineer at Cyberwell Solution
Monitoring has improved data loss detection and now spots abnormal internal file transfers quickly
In my understanding, the best feature Darktrace offers is the identification of copying files, which acts as a DLP, and it is a main concern for companies because users sometimes copy data outside without knowing, especially those without a technical background. When I mention the DLP-like feature and file copying detection, the alerts have been very timely, as we get an alert within a couple of minutes, which is excellent. Even if some developers are working after hours and copying files, our SOC team detects this, and most of the time they call us so we can identify the users. The alerts are quite accurate and proactive.
Monsur Ahmed - PeerSpot reviewer
Software management at Midland Bank
Robust cybersecurity with user-friendly interface, efficient threat detection through network traffic analysis, and seamless integration with threat intelligence
For new users, navigating the platform can be challenging, especially if they lack experience with the OEM or the product itself. Understanding its origin, implementation procedures, and troubleshooting database issues can pose difficulties. However, once users gain familiarity and resolve any initial problems, the overall experience becomes more positive. Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Antigena feature is most valuable. Once it learns your environment, Antigena can step in and block a denial of service attack, a ransomware attack, or just about anything that doesn't belong in the environment. It can detect any type of attack that hits the environment because it understands what normal looks like for the network. It is very useful for an autonomous response."
"One thing I appreciate is Antigena Email, which is for email protection."
"Darktrace is very stable, and I would rate its stability a ten out of ten."
"The technical support from Darktrace is very good, including support from their resellers."
"I like the Antigena feature in Darktrace, as it offers immediate response and is helpful."
"The Enterprise Immune System, Cyber Artificial Intelligence Analyst, and Antigena technology are all very useful aspects of the product."
"While it is complex, and difficult to use, once you understand the correct way to use it, it's a very good platform."
"It's beneficial to me and I can see that with more time and energy put into optimizing it and personalizing the unit, it can be much more powerful than the way I am using it now."
"It's an excellent security tool with a user-friendly interface that's easy for anyone to use."
"The solution doesn't require the creation of rules or use cases from scratch, which assists our delivery team in installation and deployment. Its dashboard is user-friendly."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"The only thing that I can think of that would improve it would be if they had a better visualization and a reporting portal."
"I'd love them to see maybe covering the cloud a bit more."
"A reporting portal could be a great addition to help customize reports."
"They just need to work on their price."
"Although we haven't detected any network threats since implementing Darktrace, we are unsure of its efficacy. It would be beneficial if the solution could offer additional details to the user regarding any potential or prevented threats. Additionally, there could be better search tools and integration."
"It would be good if they can include some endpoint protection for remote workers."
"There are still some issues with the network capturing or blocking traffic even after implementing exceptions. It requires more learning in this area."
"This is quite an expensive product so the pricing is something that can be improved."
"From an improvement perspective, I would like LogRhythm NDR to reduce the compute size. I would also like LogRhythm NDR to improve the pricing model."
"There are opportunities for improvement, particularly in upgrading the expertise of local professionals and addressing support issues, which could potentially lead to cost reduction."
"The tool has one limitation compared to its competitors. It does have a mobile app for NDR monitoring. Moreover, there is only operational training and not deployment training."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Darktrace is pricey, but the price is reasonable for what the solution does, and it's comparable to other products."
"We've budgeted about 50,000 Kuwaiti dinars for the solution. That is a yearly operating cost."
"It is expensive. I don't have the price for other competitors."
"Darktrace is quite an expensive solution."
"The cost of the solution can be reduced to make it more appealing to customers."
"In the ballpark, we're talking about $30K, $50K, and up. It can even be as much as $50K or $100K."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The cost is moderate."
"There are certain payments to be made towards the licensing costs attached to the product yearly. The pricing of LogRhythm NDR falls under the mid-range, in my opinion."
"When looking at the market and comparing it with other vendors, the cost seems relatively high."
"The tool costs are two million rupees for 5000 users."
