We performed a comparison between Darktrace and Palo Alto Networks Advanced Threat Prevention based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I find the complete portfolio to be excellent."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that it works autonomously."
"I find it very good in the way that they show the past events, including the attack history."
"The main valuable feature is that we don't need a lot of analysts. With few analysts, we have all the network monitored, 24/7."
"One member of staff is enough for deployment and maintenance because Darkforce is AI-driven. It does a lot of things by itself."
"Darktrace is very flexible."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are its full capabilities. You have visibility of everything."
"The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Threat Prevention for our company is the next generation firewall."
"Edge protection is a valuable feature."
"The application control and vulnerability protection are the most valuable features."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's quite easy. Deployment took one to two weeks."
"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."
"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."
"With the IP address flag, I was able to see that I was being hacked. The moment there was an interaction between somebody on my network and that IP, the solution was able to flag it, and we were able to protect ourselves."
"Everything has been okay with the solution. We are using all of the features."
"It's a very complex platform."
"Darkforce could be improved in the range of the interface; how to interact with the actions it's taking or not taking."
"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."
"The pricing is a bit high for the region."
"The initial setup is more complex and time-consuming than some solutions."
"I would like to see some additional enhancements."
"I was under impression that Darktrace's automatic blocking would be an out-of-the-box feature, but we had to integrate it with our firewall to get it to block automatically. The salesperson should be upfront and explain that you need to integrate it with your network. I would also like to see more reporting on risk. Banks in my region want to see at a glance the risk level of various assets."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the only thing I don't like is the support."
"The price of licenses should be lowered to make it less costly to scale our solution."
"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."
"Mission learning techniques should continue to expand and detect unknown threats on the fly."
"In Africa, the technical support is probably not as good as in Europe and the USA because it's a specific premium support, partner-enabled premium support and all of that. But it's really good, I don't really have any complaints, it's fairly good. I'll give them 80%."
"The documentation needs to be improved. I need better information about how to configure it and what the best practices are."
"The installation was complicated."
