Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A very useful feature in Darktrace for real-time threat analysis is the packet inspection that analyzes the packet traffic in real time."
"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."
"The models, triggers, and alerts are customizable."
"Darktrace's most valuable features are that it understands the network environment and is able to trace the traffic and alert on anomalies."
"The most valuable feature of Darktrace is the AI that detects abnormal network activity."
"The most valuable feature is the alerts. The alerts are meaningful. The event rolls up into meaningful and actionable alerts rather than just being noise."
"Technical support is helpful and responsive."
"The solution is stable. We've never had any problems with it."
"Setup is straightforward with the same reliability and scalability as the firewall series."
 

Cons

"The product doesn't have an endpoint agent that can react to triggers set on the device,"
"In an upcoming release, there could be more customizable playbooks or a library of playbooks to choose from."
"Darktrace could improve its features, such as monitoring and detecting ransomware."
"Darktrace should have more automation and integrations with other security monitoring tools."
"I would like to see more protection in the endpoint. Especially because we have a lot of people using VPNs. If they would improve end point security, it would give more control there."
"The solution could be easier to use."
"I'd love them to see maybe covering the cloud a bit more."
"The module can improve so that every time it's more intelligent."
"Lack of tools to help educate end users"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is about $6,000 per quarter."
"The cost is moderate."
"It is inexpensive considering what it can do and the competition."
"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."
"There is an annual license to use Darktrace."
"Our customers feel that the price of Darktrace is quite high compared to other solutions."
"The pricing is expensive. It costs over $100,000 a year."
"This solution is expensive."
