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.
Zaid Farooqui - PeerSpot reviewer
CIO at Indus Motor Company
Helped our organization by providing a comprehensive picture of our cyber posture in terms of threat intelligence
The most valuable feature is the capability to correlate all the vulnerabilities or threats detected from different sources. It does a very good job in correlating and identifying threat actors. Its integration with other products such as HCI, Firewall, and VDI solution for native control and detection also adds significant value.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is outstanding from a monitoring perspective."
"The initial setup is simple."
"It's a very stable product."
"What I like about Darktrace, is that you can quickly identify threats."
"Technical support is helpful and responsive."
"The autonomous response is also highly designed in Darktrace."
"Darktrace is valuable since it offers full packet capture and detailed metadata."
"Darktrace AI is one hundred percent reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to correlate all the vulnerabilities or threats detected from different sources."
"Sangfor Cyber Command has helped our organization by providing a comprehensive picture of our cyber posture in terms of threat intelligence."
"The tool is a good product in the NDR market. Its valuable features are ease of management and breach of response features. It is an easy-to-learn solution."
 

Cons

"The interface is too mathematical and it should be simplified."
"Darktrace could improve by being more user-friendly."
"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."
"Pricing bothers me and this is one of the major factors when choosing a solution."
"The module can improve so that every time it's more intelligent."
"Darktrace requires numerous configurations. It would be beneficial if the configuration could be made simpler."
"Updates keep coming, which is great, but I prefer a unified UI experience. The intelligence section and the incident view should be seamlessly connected in one view to avoid jumping between pages."
"The interface and dashboards could be improved for ease-of-use."
"The solution could improve by incorporating email security."
"Technical support could be improved, and I rate them a seven. The support team has fewer cybersecurity resources capable of managing Cyber Command compared to other solutions."
"The product needs to improve its dashboard. Integration with existing systems has been challenging. When comparing it with Trend Micro, which offers an all-in-one NDR solution, the tool's integration process can be difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When it comes to large installations, it can be expensive, but for small accounts it's fine."
"The tool's pricing is costly."
"It is pretty expensive, but it is worth it. Its licensing is yearly."
"Prior to negotiating, Darktrace offered their appliance and service for $80,000 per year."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"Darktrace is quite an expensive solution."
"The cost is moderate."
