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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable. We've never had any problems with it."
"Because of unsupervised machine learning, its detection capability is quite good."
"It is autonomous. So, it learns. It uses algorithms and AI to learn the common behavioral patterns on the network, and it is able to identify threats based on abnormal patterns."
"The most valuable feature is that it gives us visibility of rogue traffic that is on the network."
"They've worked hard to be the top security control in terms of AI and machine learning, and their product works well."
"I am a very happy user and a happy seller of Darktrace."
"It is very stable and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Darktrace is its ability to detect and counter threats before they occur."
"The solution is easier to manage than FortiMail. You can implement policies easily."
"It helps reduce spam and phishing attacks."
 

Cons

"I would like for the product to work on the endpoints as well. I would like to see enhanced visibility into the endpoints and network but this solution only sits on the network itself."
"The price point for the product was too high for what our possible use case could be."
"The cost is a bit on the higher side."
"We want to continue using Darktrace but it's very expensive."
"It's sometimes a challenge getting logs from different sources."
"It can have more integration with orchestration or event management solutions."
"One area for improvement is the alerting system, which generates too many alerts and becomes labor-intensive for organizations not equipped with enough personnel in their SOC."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"The solution does not always effectively identify zero day spam and phishing, but once reported the correction occurs very quickly."
"Its pricing could be affordable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's an expensive solution."
"It is inexpensive considering what it can do and the competition."
"We had an issue with pricing initially and had to cancel some of the features of the projects to fit the budget. I would like to see pricing that is not broken up into parts so that we can buy the whole package once. Darktrace is more expensive than an average solution, but it's functionality won't match that of an average solution."
"Prior to negotiating, Darktrace offered their appliance and service for $80,000 per year."
"If you consider the features and the cost of market leaders, we are satisfied with the pricing."
"When it comes to large installations, it can be expensive, but for small accounts it's fine."
"The pricing is very flexible for Darktrace. Sometimes, a customer does not have the appropriate budget, but Darktrace can handle that. They offer monthly payments, so the customer can acquire the solution very easily."
"I am using a demo of Darktrace for deployment and testing which is free."
"Email Security Gateway's pricing is good."
