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.
Monsur Ahmed - PeerSpot reviewer
Software management at Midland Bank
Robust cybersecurity with user-friendly interface, efficient threat detection through network traffic analysis, and seamless integration with threat intelligence
For new users, navigating the platform can be challenging, especially if they lack experience with the OEM or the product itself. Understanding its origin, implementation procedures, and troubleshooting database issues can pose difficulties. However, once users gain familiarity and resolve any initial problems, the overall experience becomes more positive. Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Enterprise Immune System, Cyber Artificial Intelligence Analyst, and Antigena technology are all very useful aspects of the product."
"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."
"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."
"Its most valuable feature is its ability to identify malicious connected IPs from outside and the attacks that get through to the inside."
"We are able to detect a lot of things, actually, and see what is happening in our network."
"The most valuable feature is that it works autonomously."
"The most valuable features are the AI and advanced learning tools that distinguish it from other products."
"Darktrace is valuable since it offers full packet capture and detailed metadata."
"It's an excellent security tool with a user-friendly interface that's easy for anyone to use."
"The solution doesn't require the creation of rules or use cases from scratch, which assists our delivery team in installation and deployment. Its dashboard is user-friendly."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"Darktrace could expand into EDR (endpoint detection and response) and combine it with its network detection."
"I'd love them to see maybe covering the cloud a bit more."
"The pricing is based on the number of endpoints, so the program is rather expensive."
"It's quite expensive to have."
"The module can improve so that every time it's more intelligent."
"The interface is too mathematical and it should be simplified."
"The initial setup is more complex and time-consuming than some solutions."
"The cost of the solution is quite high."
"There are opportunities for improvement, particularly in upgrading the expertise of local professionals and addressing support issues, which could potentially lead to cost reduction."
"The tool has one limitation compared to its competitors. It does have a mobile app for NDR monitoring. Moreover, there is only operational training and not deployment training."
"From an improvement perspective, I would like LogRhythm NDR to reduce the compute size. I would also like LogRhythm NDR to improve the pricing model."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is pretty expensive, but it is worth it. Its licensing is yearly."
"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."
"The price of the solution is not cheap. It is not a one-time purchase, there is a subscription that needs to be paid every one to five years depending on your choice. It is expensive but you can reduce the price by only using the services that you want."
"The pricing is a little high compared to the competition."
"We've budgeted about 50,000 Kuwaiti dinars for the solution. That is a yearly operating cost."
"The price of Darktrace is high and could be reduced. We pay approximately $30,000 to $54,000 annually."
"The pricing is quite high, estimated at around $350,000 per year."
"The cost of the solution is expensive for smaller businesses. They will not be able to afford it or might not need this type of security solution."
"When looking at the market and comparing it with other vendors, the cost seems relatively high."
"The tool costs are two million rupees for 5000 users."
"There are certain payments to be made towards the licensing costs attached to the product yearly. The pricing of LogRhythm NDR falls under the mid-range, in my opinion."
