Peter-Murphy - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables proactive threat detection and immediate response through AI monitoring
The most valuable feature of Darktrace is its ability to detect and counter threats before they occur. The autonomous response capability is always enabled, blocking threats immediately without hesitation. Additionally, the Darktrace email platform is a significant asset since it addresses incoming threats before they reach the network, enhancing our security measures. Protecting the business is essential, and ensuring security through 24/7 AI monitoring is invaluable.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Dynamic Threat Dashboard is very nice, as it lists all of your threats and rates them, and then you can choose whether to investigate further."
"The most valuable feature of Darktrace and the most valuable feature is the artificial intelligence module because that is the tool that determines automatically if there is any risk or not in the network."
"It is a stable solution without downtime."
"Darktrace is valuable since it offers full packet capture and detailed metadata."
"It is a very simple product to use."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are its full capabilities. You have visibility of everything."
"The models, triggers, and alerts are customizable."
"Its AI technology supports cybersecurity by learning my environment and accurately responding to threats."
"The most valuable feature of Datto EDR is the visibility of the endpoints."
"The insight that the solution provides is the most valuable aspect. The security scanning they do is excellent."
"The ease of deployment has been good."
"Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is a perfect product for endpoint security."
 

Cons

"It would be good if they can include some endpoint protection for remote workers. Nowadays, most people are working remotely. Therefore, they should include some type of sensors that can be installed on the endpoint in order to directly report the main usage and protect remotely. Phone protection will also be a great feature to add to Darktrace."
"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 management dashboards and the meter dashboards should be more user-friendly and simple to use for easy management."
"One thing I would like is for Darktrace to flag SMB traffic more accurately. Currently, it only flags that SMB traffic has occurred, but it doesn't specify which file was being transferred. This makes it difficult to investigate incidents involving SMB traffic, as we don't have concrete evidence of what was being sent."
"Updates keep coming, which is great, but I prefer a unified UI experience. The intelligence section and the incident view should be seamlessly connected in one view to avoid jumping between pages."
"Darktrace requires numerous configurations. It would be beneficial if the configuration could be made simpler."
"I did not use the AI features because they should make it more user-friendly which would be a benefit. Additionally, the solution could integrate with more SIEM or SOAR tools."
"Needs to improve its collaboration with local partners."
"The deployment of the solution right now is terrible. We find it to be very bad. It could be improved enormously."
"The solution could improve by having more deployment methods."
"The solution should allow the automation of playbooks."
"The inclusion of web filtering would be good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am using a demo of Darktrace for deployment and testing which is free."
"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 pricing is reasonable."
"The product is expensive."
"Our customers feel that the price of Darktrace is quite high compared to other solutions."
"If you consider the features and the cost of market leaders, we are satisfied with the pricing."
"Prior to negotiating, Darktrace offered their appliance and service for $80,000 per year."
"The price of Darktrace is high and could be reduced. We pay approximately $30,000 to $54,000 annually."
"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."
