We performed a comparison between Darktrace and Trend Micro Deep Discovery 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 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."
"The platform has many modules, and each module examines a different situation in the behavior."
"Darktrace is very flexible."
"It provides a comprehensive, detailed view of network activity and whatever is happening inside it."
"The most valuable feature is the alerts. The alerts are meaningful. The event rolls up into meaningful and actionable alerts rather than just being noise."
"We allow customers to access our Wi-Fi as guests, and some of them were going to restricted sites. Darktrace showed us what they were doing so we could block them."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are the tracing of unusual external emails and monitoring the local network."
"The tool's stability and performance are good."
"It is a very good solution. It is very light, and it is quite quick to figure out the problem in your network."
"The most valuable features are monitoring for advanced persistent threats, the system runs in a sandbox allowing for effective zero-day exploits management, and the Inspector has a built-in sandbox."
"The platform provides all essential features for discovery and administration."
"The most valuable features are the protection and that it is fast."
"One of the most valuable features is the performance, since, so far, we have not faced any issues with Deep Discovery."
"Generally speaking, it just gives us a broad understanding of exactly what kind of threats occur. The submission point, analyzing point, and virtualization are within the environment that it supports. It helped us to improve our security levels and protect our internal network from any threats outside."
"There is no downtime or server vulnerability with this solution."
"I would like to see some additional enhancements."
"The program is quite expensive."
"I did not use the AI features because they should make it more user-friendly which would be a benefit. Additionally, the solution could integrate with more SIEM or SOAR tools."
"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."
"Darktrace needs to automate the reports of false positives, botnets and everything."
"In terms of improvements, fine-tuning is the area where we have to spend some time because it works on unsupervised machine learning. It would be good if they can improve their algorithm or technical functionality to reduce the fine-tuning effort. They can also come up with something at the endpoint level. So far, Darktrace has been a network detection response (NDR) solution. It does not offer much at the endpoint level or on user-client devices or servers. There should be more visibility at the endpoint level. It would be good to have the detection and response at the endpoint level by Darktrace. It should also have integration with an agile environment so that we can have continuous development and continuous integration in the application development environment. This is currently not there. It should also have internet-facing platform visibility, which is currently missing. They also need to improve the reporting and management dashboards. Currently, these are not so easy for a non-technical person. All these features would make Darktrace much better, and they would also be helpful in selling more solutions."
"Upper management wasn't sold on the value proposition."
"It takes time to go through the interface and pick up things. If it were a more straightforward interface, then it would free up time."
"I would like to see them create a rule where It could integrate with the network and start mitigating with auto-detection."
"Scalability becomes an issue when managing a higher number of customers."
"The solution needs to be able to integrate better with third-party infrastructure."
"The solution could be more stable and offer more security."
"The scalability is sometimes limited."
"This solution could be improved with faster technical support and cheaper licensing prices."
"Deep Discovery is easy to manage, but there is still room for improvement on the administration and operations side. Competing products have a cleaner interface that makes it easier to manage their products. Trend Micro offers a lot of features in one product suite, but it can be unwieldy for the customer to manage all that with a single interface."
"The solution needs improvement in terms of pricing."
