Innovative detection features enhance monitoring

Pros

"There are many detection features available."

Cons

"The advantages of the integration are not entirely out-of-the-box. You have to do it manually."

Automation benefits increase as users create automations with ease

The solution provides advanced threat detection and operates based on metadata, offering comprehensive information about traffic between source and destination

Pros

"It provides various dashboards that facilitate the identification of connections and can detect data exfiltration, meaning data sent from your environment to another."

Cons

"One area where there's room for improvement is the absence of a comprehensive TCP recording and replay feature. "

Used as a central threat detection and response system for AI triaging and detection

Pros

"The solution is currently used as a central threat detection and response system."

Cons

"It would be commercially beneficial if Vectra AI had something like Darktrace's Antigena Email or something similar to email protection."

Offers real-time threat detection, notices some of the exfiltration techniques and alerts us, and AI uses models to detect abnormal behavior

Pros

"The packet-capturing feature is very useful."

We have become more proactive, and significant noise reduction means one analyst can handle things

Pros

"The most useful feature is the anomaly detection because it's not signature-based. It picks up the initial part of any attack, like the recon and those aspects of the kill chain, very well."

Cons

"The reporting from Cognito Detect is very limited and doesn't give you too many options. If I want to prepare a customized report on a particular host, even though I see the data, I have to manually prepare the report. The reporting features that are built into the tool are not very helpful."

Provides real-time visibility of potential threats to the network and prioritizes them to help us react quickly

Pros

"We particularly like the user experience around the dashboard, which we find to be much more straightforward than the dashboard of some of the competitive products... Vectra is a really easy system to understand and use to prioritize where we need to focus our security resources."

Cons

"A blind spot that I have is around the ease with which you can automate threat intervention."

Integrates well with other security solutions and provides good technical support

Pros

"The biggest feature for us, because we are heavy Microsoft users, is its integration with Office 365. On top of Vectra AI, we use all of the Microsoft security platforms, such as Defender ATP and Sentinel. Having full integration and a central platform to look at all of the threats that are coming through from the different platforms is a huge benefit for us."

Cons

"In education as a sector, we are looking at AI a lot in terms of how it can be used as part of the teaching and learning side of things. It would be great to have Vectra AI look at a better way to enhance the security posture related to the AI tools in our portfolio."
