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.

"It is very stable and easy to use."
"This solution is both scalable and stable."
"The features that are most valuable to me include detection, response with analytics, and network detection."
"Implementing this solution has given us confidence that we are secure."
"Darktrace impacts my organization positively by providing us with a better understanding of abnormal activities detected among users."

Cons

"It is expensive, but everything else has been great so far."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"It's a very complex platform."
"This product needs more in terms of prevention."
"In terms of improvements, fine-tuning is the area where we have to spend some time because it works on unsupervised machine learning."
"This product needs more in terms of prevention. The detection capabilities work well but once a threat has been detected, Darktrace should work to prevent it from doing anything malicious."
"Although we haven't detected any network threats since implementing Darktrace, we are unsure of its efficacy. It would be beneficial if the solution could offer additional details to the user regarding any potential or prevented threats. Additionally, there could be better search tools and integration."
"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."
"The solution should allow the automation of playbooks."
"The deployment of the solution right now is terrible. We find it to be very bad. It could be improved enormously."
"The inclusion of web filtering would be good."
"The solution could improve by having more deployment methods."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The tool's pricing is costly."
"They are too expensive compared with other vendors."
"Our customers feel that the price of Darktrace is quite high compared to other solutions."
"It is inexpensive considering what it can do and the competition."
"Prior to negotiating, Darktrace offered their appliance and service for $80,000 per year."
"The product is expensive."
"When it comes to large installations, it can be expensive, but for small accounts it's fine."
"Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is not an expensive solution."
"There is an annual license to use this solution. The price of the solution can be expensive depending on the company."
