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.
Zaid Farooqui - PeerSpot reviewer
CIO at Indus Motor Company
Helped our organization by providing a comprehensive picture of our cyber posture in terms of threat intelligence
The most valuable feature is the capability to correlate all the vulnerabilities or threats detected from different sources. It does a very good job in correlating and identifying threat actors. Its integration with other products such as HCI, Firewall, and VDI solution for native control and detection also adds significant value.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We allow customers to access our Wi-Fi as guests, and some of them were going to restricted sites. Darktrace showed us what they were doing so we could block them."
"This solution is both scalable and stable."
"The investigative part of Darktrace is valuable, especially the automation features. It allows setting up checks and provides guidance on mitigating situations, which is very useful. There are different modules that you can add to the console for protection."
"Darktrace has improved our knowledge of abnormal phenomenen which could have potentially be hazardous for the organization."
"Darktrace is very stable, and I would rate its stability a ten out of ten."
"It has helped the organization to detect any malware affecting the machines...The network monitoring and the email monitoring features are very valuable for us."
"The product is extremely stable and mature."
"Darktrace AI is one hundred percent reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to correlate all the vulnerabilities or threats detected from different sources."
"The tool is a good product in the NDR market. Its valuable features are ease of management and breach of response features. It is an easy-to-learn solution."
"Sangfor Cyber Command has helped our organization by providing a comprehensive picture of our cyber posture in terms of threat intelligence."
 

Cons

"Its threat analyzer could be better. It should also have agents. They should improve this product by installing agents for the machine to get more visibility. Currently, they are monitoring only the network. They should also monitor the agents from inside. It should also have a better pricing plan because it is an expensive product."
"It could build in integrations for some complementary products, but it has an assistant plugin so this is not really a big deal."
"My only criticism of the product is that its licensing model isn't flexible."
"There is no dedicated salesperson in Egypt, and having one would help to improve focus on this market."
"It is expensive, but everything else has been great so far."
"As of now, I feel Darktrace can be improved to better detect end device activities, such as laptops or desktops, to bind it with our network."
"Darkforce could be improved in the range of the interface; how to interact with the actions it's taking or not taking."
"I feel that Darktrace could be improved, particularly in the support aspect which is currently very poor. We need to chase Darktrace instead of them being proactive with us."
"Technical support could be improved, and I rate them a seven. The support team has fewer cybersecurity resources capable of managing Cyber Command compared to other solutions."
"The product needs to improve its dashboard. Integration with existing systems has been challenging. When comparing it with Trend Micro, which offers an all-in-one NDR solution, the tool's integration process can be difficult."
"The solution could improve by incorporating email security."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Prior to negotiating, Darktrace offered their appliance and service for $80,000 per year."
"Darktrace is quite an expensive solution."
"Darktrace is expensive. You can pay for the license yearly."
"It is a very expensive product."
"When it comes to large installations, it can be expensive, but for small accounts it's fine."
"I'm unfamiliar with the exact cost, but we have a yearly license and had to pay for Darktrace's services before the deployment. The product is very expensive, so some organizations can't afford to pay the total amount directly, meaning they often seek a partner or pay in installments, which increases the price more."
"In the ballpark, we're talking about $30K, $50K, and up. It can even be as much as $50K or $100K."
"Darktrace is pricey, but the price is reasonable for what the solution does, and it's comparable to other products."
