Featured Reviews

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Ability to see events and exactly what traffic or website the device had tried to connect to that raised the alert or issue."
"The active threat dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it does not require human intervention to eliminate a threat; it blocks everything automatically."
"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."
"The Dynamic Threat Dashboard is very nice, as it lists all of your threats and rates them, and then you can choose whether to investigate further."
"It is a very simple product to use."
"We are able to detect a lot of things, actually, and see what is happening in our network."
"The investigative part of Darktrace is valuable, especially the automation features. It allows setting up checks and provides guidance on mitigating situations, which is very useful. There are different modules that you can add to the console for protection."
"Whitelisting services are the most valuable feature of Change Tracker Gen7 R2."
"I have contacted the support once and the experience was good, I was satisfied."
"Change Tracker Gen7 R2 can be used in the health sector for compliance and can secure the patient's information."
 

Cons

"This product needs more in terms of prevention."
"In terms of improvements, fine-tuning is the area where we have to spend some time because it works on unsupervised machine learning."
"Darktrace could expand into EDR (endpoint detection and response) and combine it with its network detection."
"Darktrace would tell you, for example, if there was a ransomware attack, but it wouldn't stop the attack."
"Upper management wasn't sold on the value proposition."
"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."
"If asked to rate Darktrace support on a scale from zero to ten where ten is the best, I would give them five points."
"The solution could be easier to use."
"The solution could improve by being more secure and have better integration."
"The solution could include more integrations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is subscription-based and it is high."
"This solution is expensive."
"The pricing is quite high, estimated at around $350,000 per year."
"The solution is about $6,000 per quarter."
"The cost of the solution is expensive for smaller businesses. They will not be able to afford it or might not need this type of security solution."
"All of the other modules, such as the licensing modules, are on par. It's one for one."
"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."
"If you consider the features and the cost of market leaders, we are satisfied with the pricing."
"There is a license required for this solution."
