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.

"Whitelisting services are the most valuable feature of Change Tracker Gen7 R2."
 

Cons

"The user interface and the configuration are a bit complex and should be improved or simplified."
"We'd like threat hunting, and we'd like to see a global solution that can automate vulnerability scans. I know it is something they are working on."
"It would be helpful if they could recognize incidents and simplify the customer's challenge to identify what is happening."
"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."
"The dashboard and reporting for this solution could be improved as it is currently complex. The GUI for this solution could also be improved."
"It's quite expensive to have."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"There is no dedicated salesperson in Egypt, and having one would help to improve focus on this market."
"The solution could include more integrations."
"The solution could improve by being more secure and have better integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In the ballpark, we're talking about $30K, $50K, and up. It can even be as much as $50K or $100K."
"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."
"The cost is moderate."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Our customers feel that the price of Darktrace is quite high compared to other solutions."
"The solution is about $6,000 per quarter."
"Darktrace is pricey, but the price is reasonable for what the solution does, and it's comparable to other products."
"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."
"There is a license required for this solution."
