We performed a comparison between Darktrace and Fortra's Tripwire Enterprise 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."The ability to see what we have not seen before is most valuable. It is very interesting to find out the most vulnerable devices in our network."
"Technical support is helpful and responsive."
"It is very stable and easy to use."
"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."
"In terms of features, the data or information they collect and unsupervised machine learning are very valuable. Its unsupervised machine learning has reduced our team's effort. Both Darktrace and Vectra work on unsupervised machine learning that learns the behavior or develops a profile on its own, which allows our security team to do some other tasks rather than spending time on Darktrace or Vectra. Because of unsupervised machine learning, its detection capability is quite good. Along with that, if we utilize the integration feature properly, the automated incident response capability of Darktrace is quite useful."
"The AI-based pattern is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are the tracing of unusual external emails and monitoring the local network."
"The initial setup is simple."
"Its reporting features are great. It gives you an in-depth report. Its customization is also great, and it is working fine."
"The product supports different platforms."
"Even if you change a single word in Notepad, it will let you know whether it was added, removed, or modified."
"We use Tripwire Enterprise as a tool to test the vulnerability of a network. That is the most valuable feature of the product for us."
"File monitoring is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"The most valuable feature is integrity management. I had some discussions with service providers, and they also agreed."
"The most valuable feature is the integrity."
"What's most valuable in Tripwire Enterprise is the ability to execute custom COCR rules that lets me fine-tune how I monitor Linux and Windows agents."
"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."
"There is a high ratio of false positive information."
"I was under impression that Darktrace's automatic blocking would be an out-of-the-box feature, but we had to integrate it with our firewall to get it to block automatically. The salesperson should be upfront and explain that you need to integrate it with your network. I would also like to see more reporting on risk. Banks in my region want to see at a glance the risk level of various assets."
"The interface is too mathematical and it should be simplified."
"The interface and dashboards could be improved for ease-of-use."
"Darktrace needs to automate the reports of false positives, botnets and everything."
"The dashboard and reporting for this solution could be improved as it is currently complex. The GUI for this solution could also be improved."
"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."
"Cloud monitoring could be better. It would also be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model."
"The Windows online integration license needs to be improved."
"The main way that it can be improved is through better reporting."
"The deployment with certain systems can be difficult and it needs to be simplified."
"A lot of network devices need a custom integration."
"It needs more local support from the OEM side. It would be great if this can be improved."
"The initial setup is complex."
"An area for improvement in Tripwire Enterprise is stability, as my company had stability issues with the last few versions of the solution. Tripwire Enterprise has been a bit buggy."
