Consistent threat hunting and anomaly detection deliver valuable insights for network security management
In terms of improvement for Darktrace, pricing is the main concern. Pricing bothers me and this is one of the major factors when choosing a solution. When we get feedback from customers, that's the only felt need. When we factor in Darktrace, we do it only limited. We put it on where the perimeters and connections are, but still, some gray areas are left out, especially if we have multiple branches. We need Darktrace on each branch to get the data out, and I suggest having some kind of a centralized product that gets data from multiple sources to aggregate and provide the data.

Enhancement in incident response through reduced false positives and contextual intelligence
ThreatBook has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to detect all alerts and threats effectively. In the past, we needed to search logs from various sources, including terminals, DI servers, and firewalls, collecting a lot of logs and searching the internet for contextual information about threat actors. After using ThreatBook TDP, all alerts and contexts are easily displayed on the dashboard, making it very helpful for us. During the incident response scenario, ThreatBook saves us over 80% of the time for each incident. We usually took about one day or two days for attribution and understanding how the attacker attacked us, but after using ThreatBook TDP, we usually take around one or two hours to finish all these tasks. Additionally, their AI techniques save a lot of time, allowing me to ask in natural language for explanations about the meaning and target of the attacker.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is very stable and easy to use."
"The solution is outstanding from a monitoring perspective."
"I would 100% recommend Darktrace."
"It is very easy to work with Darktrace once you know how it works and the type of permissions that you need to get related to the security over a network. The interface is awesome. I'm sure that you have seen Ironman, and you know Jarvis, the computer of Tony Stark. The interface of Darktrace is very similar, and you can see in 3D, like a hologram, the whole network, traffic, and all the traces inside the network. The interface is awesome, and it provides a lot of information. At least for us, it is very easy to handle this interface, get the reports, and do the interpretation of those reports. Darktrace also provides mobile monitoring. With an app on your mobile phone, you can view the information live, which is very useful for area directors and field engineers. Darktrace can be also correlated with any type of big data solution, such as Splunk."
"t was pretty as far as the granularity of what you were getting out of it."
"Its most valuable feature is its ability to identify malicious connected IPs from outside and the attacks that get through to the inside."
"The most valuable feature of Darktrace is its ability to detect and counter threats before they occur."
"The solution is powerful and very useful, it has the ability to avert many attacks."
"We have not suffered from any attack for the past few months, which has relatively improved our network security."
"ThreatBook saves us over 80% of the time for each incident."
"ThreatBook saves us over 80% of time for each incident, reducing the usual time taken from one or two days for attribution to just one or two hours, thanks to their AI techniques."
"ThreatBook Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) has positively impacted our organization by helping us generate the strategic threat focus reports and aiding us in decision-making, leading to improved cybersecurity operation efficiency."
 

Cons

"It would be useful if there was a way to check to see if there are certain devices that are not in sync with the solution. I'm not sure if this is an option or not."
"The module can improve so that every time it's more intelligent."
"This is quite an expensive product so the pricing is something that can be improved."
"The interface and dashboards could be improved for ease-of-use."
"They are too expensive compared with other vendors."
"The pricing is a bit high for the region."
"The pricing is expensive. It costs over $100,000 a year."
"Its documentation is not up to the mark. At times, I have a lot of trouble finding a solution. Even when I posted questions on the community chats, it took a lot of time for me to get answers. That's something that can be improved. Darktrace can focus on creating a more interactive community. If there are more people from Darktrace to focus on community chats, it would be better."
"It would be great if ThreatBook could integrate with our ITSM system to streamline the tasks and incident management"
"ThreatBook Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) could be improved by providing more integrations to support additional platforms."
"I hope that ThreatBook can integrate a feature where if I detect any internal compromised hosts, I can block or isolate those compromised hosts within my internal network; that would be good."
"We’ve seen strong ROI through reduced incident response times, increased threat visibility, and less time wasted on false positives."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is inexpensive considering what it can do and the competition."
"The pricing is quite high, estimated at around $350,000 per year."
"It is expensive. I don't have the price for other competitors."
"Darktrace is expensive. You can pay for the license yearly."
"It is pretty expensive, but it is worth it. Its licensing is yearly."
"There is an annual license to use Darktrace."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Darktrace is pricey, but the price is reasonable for what the solution does, and it's comparable to other products."
