Featured Reviews

Pasan Jayarathna - PeerSpot reviewer
Network Security Engineer at Cyberwell Solution
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.

Tracking model metrics and artifacts has improved workflows but documentation needs clarity
In my opinion, the best features Weights & Biases offers are that they are easy to adapt and navigate through inside their UI, and I can check the model artifacts by versions. Sometimes when it throws errors, I can check them easily, and it has access control that's a good fit for corporate usage. What I like about the UI and the access control features is that they are just easy to navigate, easy to understand, and finding is also easy. Weights & Biases has positively impacted my organization a lot because many users are using Weights & Biases for tracking models and seeing metrics. I believe it places a lot less weight on setting up this tracking method. I can share specific outcomes or metrics since using Weights & Biases. For example, I can check each epoch's model artifacts and see how effectively it worked on my evaluation set, and it can be fetched by the unique ID.
