"It is autonomous. So, it learns. It uses algorithms and AI to learn the common behavioral patterns on the network, and it is able to identify threats based on abnormal patterns."
"Artificial intelligence and machine learning functionalities are valuable."
"The product can scale."
"I have found the automation and AI features to be valuable. If someone were to come in to the office at midnight and log in, Darktrace would flag it."
"It is very stable and easy to use."
"It provides a comprehensive, detailed view of network activity and whatever is happening inside it."
"The solution is stable. We've never had any problems with it."
"The sandboxing tools offer great prevention for cloud feeds."
"The most valuable features are the simplicity, transparency, and overall ease of management."
"One of the most valuable features is the anti-malware protection."
"Most of the features of Palo Alto Threat Prevention are alright. I recommend features like content filtering, IP address, & intelligent firewalls. The reporting feature is very good."
"I find the malware protection very handy."
"It's very easy to use and configure. What is nice about Palo Alto is that even if you don't understand how to use it, you can just click on upload and upload everything that needs to be blocked."
"It's a monster, it's got so many beautiful features. We do deal with other firewalls and we've got a better idea of what other firewalls' capabilities are, any comparison with the Palo Alto I liked the quality of service on the applications that you can control the amount of bandwidth an application is allowed to consume. The best feature is the quality of the application quality of service."
"Edge protection is a valuable feature."
"The user interface and the configuration are a bit complex and should be improved or simplified."
"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 main portal needs improvement as it is difficult to use."
"This product needs more in terms of prevention. The detection capabilities work well but once a threat has been detected, Darktrace should work to prevent it from doing anything malicious."
"One thing I would like is for Darktrace to flag SMB traffic more accurately. Currently, it only flags that SMB traffic has occurred, but it doesn't specify which file was being transferred. This makes it difficult to investigate incidents involving SMB traffic, as we don't have concrete evidence of what was being sent."
"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."
"I'd love them to see maybe covering the cloud a bit more."
"It's a very complex platform."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the only thing I don't like is the support."
"The documentation needs to be improved. I need better information about how to configure it and what the best practices are."
"The technology firewall anomaly network could stand improvement."
"Right now we are focusing on email. If Palo Alto can increase the features related to email filtering and the new malware, it would help us protect our systems."
"I think they can use some improvement on FID."
"Palo Alto's maintenance needs to be improved."
"The cost involves the price of the hardware, which is expensive. However, most of the Palo Alto solutions are expensive."
"The organization mail security solutions could be improved. There is no mail security solution available."
