Gained full visibility and streamlined threat detection through behavior-based insights and AI integration

Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth. We have fine-tuned our security policies and allowed different levels of policies to get rid of those false positives. Currently, we are getting a fairly good amount of incidents that are not false positives or benign, but actionable items. The process is streamlined. In the initial days, the operations used to get involved in a lot of benign and other activities, but now the process is streamlined. We are leveraging the auto-detection and remediation plans. The operations teams are now more involved in other business roles as well, not just looking into the logs and fetching out what's happening there. They have fixed a lot of things. Initially, they didn't have IAC code drift detection, cloud posture management, or security posture management, but they have those now. They purchased different vendors and did a merger with that. They have now Prisma Cloud that gets integrated and now they are working with Cortex Cloud. Everything that was negative has now been addressed, and the product altogether looks to be in a very better and mature shape now. Currently, it's more or less detecting the workloads with AI-based best practices. Since most organizations are consuming AI agents and other things, we are looking forward to seeing what other feature enhancements Palo Alto can support in that.

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.

Centralized security management has unified risk visibility and enables faster, AI-driven response

Regarding improvements for TrendAI Vision One – Network Security, I think users can take advantage of customized reports. Additionally, clients sometimes find it difficult to integrate third-party open-source integrations, so this area could be improved. Regarding the needed improvements for TrendAI Vision One – Network Security, the deployment guide and migration guide can be better. If clients are migrating, for example, from on-premises to cloud or from one solution to another, the documentation should be more understandable for non-technical teams, helping them decide where to start. I rate it nine out of 10 due to issues with documentation and support for deployment and migration-related activities. Sometimes I find it difficult for clients to understand the requirements for migration. If the guide or documentation is easier, clients can understand it better and decide where to start. In email security with TrendAI Vision One – Network Security, I found one bug related to inbound emails. If we apply attachment policies, such as requiring analysis for incoming email attachments, the AI sometimes flags email signatures as attachments. This issue can lead to quarantining emails without malicious attachments, which is problematic.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The interface is easy to use and it is more up to date than our previous solution."

"The most valuable features are incident creation, policy-based protection, IP whitelisting, and device encryption. These are beneficial for endpoint and server security."

"The product is very good, it has caught a lot of exploits that most products would not."

"It is easy to use."

"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."

"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."

"The ability to kind of stitch everything together and see the actual complete picture is very useful. I guess you'd call it a playbook. Some people call it the forensics analysis of what was happening on particular endpoints when they detected some malicious behavior, and what transpired before that to cause that. It is also very user friendly. The way they have done everything and integrated all the solutions that they've purchased over the years to make it a very seamless, effective product is very good. One thing about Palo Alto is that they take the products or services that they purchase and make them seamless for the end user as compared to some companies that purchase other companies and then just kind of have their products off to the side or keep different interfaces. Palo Alto doesn't do that."

"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks a nine."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"You have visibility, and it will find anything that you miss with other solutions."

"Technical support is great. They are very responsive and helpful."

"I can rate Darktrace's technical support as one of the best products in the world."

"Darktrace's most valuable features are its dashboards and its ability to summarize huge amounts of information about threats and suspicious traffic."

"I have used multiple solutions, but its graphical user interface is quite interesting and quite descriptive. There are a lot of video animations, and we can easily see how the data is transferred between various points. That's something really interesting. It is also quite easy to understand for a new user."

"I have found the most valuable features to be artificial intelligence for cybersecurity, advanced machine learning capabilities, enterprise Immune System, Antigena Network, and Antigena Email. The way the solution detects the threat over the network before it spreads is very good. It notifies you of what the threat is exactly doing and gives you all the details about the execution of that application that had created the threat over your network."

"We have found the product to be stable and issue-free."

"Darktrace has improved our knowledge of abnormal phenomenen which could have potentially be hazardous for the organization."

More Darktrace pros

"From the single console, clients can see everything, including each log coming from endpoints, networks, emails, and all attack surface configurations, and they can manage everything from a single dashboard."

"Trend Vision One - Network Security has positively impacted my organization as our network operations team has found it very useful for monitoring all threats coming in via the network layer and taking swift actions compared to earlier."

Cons

"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response). Then it would work well with SIEM Response."

"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files. It was unable to retrieve new file verdicts. It was using a thing called "local analysis" to determine if something was a malicious file or not. There was no dynamic analysis."

"To jump from the partner to Palo Alto directly was challenging."

"Product might have some bugs."

"It would be good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."

"There are some third-party solutions that are difficult to integrate with, which is something that can be improved."

"When it comes to malware files, it should be a little quick because, at times, it would give a wrong result in the sense of what it might be on malware, even if it still might be a normal one."

"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The cost of the solution is expensive for smaller businesses."

"Darktrace requires numerous configurations. It would be beneficial if the configuration could be made simpler."

"The program is quite expensive."

"It's sometimes a challenge getting logs from different sources."

"In the next version, I'd like to see penetration testing."

"The solution would benefit from automation. Currently, you have to know what you are searching for."

"It would be good if they can include some endpoint protection for remote workers."

"The solution could be easier to use."

More Darktrace cons

"In email security with TrendAI Vision One – Network Security, I found one bug related to inbound emails. If we apply attachment policies, such as requiring analysis for incoming email attachments, the AI sometimes flags email signatures as attachments."

"Trend Vision One - Network Security can be improved by integrating with the native firewall and bringing in that telemetry feed."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."

"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."

"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"All of the other modules, such as the licensing modules, are on par. It's one for one."

"It is expensive."

"Darktrace is quite an expensive solution."

"The pricing is expensive. It costs over $100,000 a year."

"The price of Darktrace is high and could be reduced. We pay approximately $30,000 to $54,000 annually."

"It is expensive. I don't have the price for other competitors."

"We've budgeted about 50,000 Kuwaiti dinars for the solution. That is a yearly operating cost."

"In the ballpark, we're talking about $30K, $50K, and up. It can even be as much as $50K or $100K."
