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.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"We had an issue with pricing initially and had to cancel some of the features of the projects to fit the budget. I would like to see pricing that is not broken up into parts so that we can buy the whole package once. Darktrace is more expensive than an average solution, but it's functionality won't match that of an average solution."
"The pricing is quite high, estimated at around $350,000 per year."
"It is expensive. I don't have the price for other competitors."
"The price of Darktrace is high and could be reduced. We pay approximately $30,000 to $54,000 annually."
"In the ballpark, we're talking about $30K, $50K, and up. It can even be as much as $50K or $100K."
"Darktrace is quite an expensive solution."
"The pricing is expensive. It costs over $100,000 a year."
