We performed a comparison between Cisco Cognitive Threat Analytics and Darktrace based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Darktrace, Vectra AI, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS)."The most valuable feature of Cisco Cognitive Threat Analytics is its reliability."
"The Antigena feature is most valuable. Once it learns your environment, Antigena can step in and block a denial of service attack, a ransomware attack, or just about anything that doesn't belong in the environment. It can detect any type of attack that hits the environment because it understands what normal looks like for the network. It is very useful for an autonomous response."
"It is a stable solution without downtime."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are the tracing of unusual external emails and monitoring the local network."
"It is a very simple product to use."
"The most valuable feature is that it works autonomously."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are its full capabilities. You have visibility of everything."
"One member of staff is enough for deployment and maintenance because Darkforce is AI-driven. It does a lot of things by itself."
"The most valuable feature of Darktrace is the AI that detects abnormal network activity."
"Cisco Cognitive Threat Analytics could improve by having quicker detection and response and web analysis."
"They just need to work on their price. In terms of features, we are trying to understand all the features that we have. We're still exploring everything that we have so that we can fully utilize it. At this point in time, it is not about the features. It is more about utilization. We're just trying to utilize everything to full capacity."
"The interface and dashboards could be improved for ease-of-use."
"The level of tracking within the network from the transmission level up to the machine level can use improvement."
"The cost is a bit on the higher side."
"Darkforce could be improved in the range of the interface; how to interact with the actions it's taking or not taking."
"It's a very complex platform."
"Darktrace is a closed technology, meaning we know very little about how it works, including the architecture, which is significant. As a result, when we implement the system and find we're getting many false positives, we have minimal insight into why it's happening and what we can do to fix it. We don't know how the solution is configured, the criteria for threats to be determined, or the product's inner workings. We understand that they have to ensure privacy and their copyright, but we want to see some documentation or public research into the security Darktrace provides."
"We'd like threat hunting, and we'd like to see a global solution that can automate vulnerability scans. I know it is something they are working on."
