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.

Collaborative audio projects have become faster and maintain high-quality transcriptions
The best features SuperAnnotate offers in my experience are especially the lateral tab on the right side, which I can use to select options depending on the task I am working on. I can easily select the classification for each audio file in my case. The transcription interface is also user-friendly, which is what makes me appreciate this platform. These features make my work easier and more efficient during my project because I am able to perform a large volume of audio transcriptions and classifications in a very short period of time, all because of the easy interface that SuperAnnotate delivers. SuperAnnotate has positively impacted my organization and team by helping to finish projects faster and improving accuracy. The freelancing project I worked on was with OpenAI Train, and I can see they have been using SuperAnnotate for a long time because of its efficiency and high accuracy rates.

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."
"Darktrace's most valuable features are its dashboards and its ability to summarize huge amounts of information about threats and suspicious traffic."
"t was pretty as far as the granularity of what you were getting out of it."
"The most valuable feature of Darktrace is the AI that detects abnormal network activity."
"The most valuable feature is that it works autonomously."
"The solution is stable. We've never had any problems with it."
"Because of unsupervised machine learning, its detection capability is quite good."
"One thing I appreciate is Antigena Email, which is for email protection."
"SuperAnnotate has improved productivity and helped achieve better results in my organization."
"These features make my work easier and more efficient during my project because I am able to perform a large volume of audio transcriptions and classifications in a very short period of time, all because of the easy interface that SuperAnnotate delivers."
 

Cons

"The stability isn't good but I like the product."
"It is expensive, but everything else has been great so far."
"The solution could be easier to use."
"It could build in integrations for some complementary products, but it has an assistant plugin so this is not really a big deal."
"The initial setup is more complex and time-consuming than some solutions."
"One thing that I would like to look at going forward is to have a fully automated network infrastructure that is monitored automatically real-time, and that gives me this kind of capability where I would be able to look at my network at any given time and see the state of my network. With Darktrace, at the moment, I have to almost put in a date and tell them that want you to give me data from this date to this date. I don't want that. I want a fast solution in which it doesn't matter when I log into the application. Whenever I log in, I must be able to see my network and run a report. In other words, if I go in now and I say, "Give me a full report of what happened today, it must be able to give me that. It mustn't just be limited to a seven-day period, for argument's sake. It must be able to give me real-time and day-to-day tracking of what has happened within my network."
"There is a high ratio of false positive information."
"The program is quite expensive."
"One needed improvement is how to save each project, how to know each project has actually been saved, and to ensure that each project is secure from being manipulated by another party."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's an expensive solution."
"The price of the solution is not cheap. It is not a one-time purchase, there is a subscription that needs to be paid every one to five years depending on your choice. It is expensive but you can reduce the price by only using the services that you want."
"Prior to negotiating, Darktrace offered their appliance and service for $80,000 per year."
"The tool's pricing is costly."
"The pricing is very flexible for Darktrace. Sometimes, a customer does not have the appropriate budget, but Darktrace can handle that. They offer monthly payments, so the customer can acquire the solution very easily."
"Darktrace is pricey, but the price is reasonable for what the solution does, and it's comparable to other products."
"When it comes to large installations, it can be expensive, but for small accounts it's fine."
"The cost is moderate."
