Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have found the automation and AI features to be valuable. If someone were to come in to the office at midnight and log in, Darktrace would flag it."
"The solution is outstanding from a monitoring perspective."
"It is a stable solution without downtime."
"The models, triggers, and alerts are customizable."
"I am impressed with the product's ability to give insights into network traffic."
"The most valuable feature is that it works autonomously."
"One thing I appreciate is Antigena Email, which is for email protection."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use and the full reach of services."
 

Cons

"Darkforce could be improved in the range of the interface; how to interact with the actions it's taking or not taking."
"A reporting portal could be a great addition to help customize reports."
"There is a high ratio of false positive information."
"It takes time to go through the interface and pick up things. If it were a more straightforward interface, then it would free up time."
"The solution could be easier to use."
"They just need to make it a little bit more accurate as far as their alerts are concerned. It does generate some false positives that you have to tune. You have to do a lot of tuning when you first get it because of the false positives, but once it is all tuned up and ready to go, it will do its thing from there."
"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."
"I would like to see some additional enhancements."
"I would like to see it integrate with third-party systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."
"Darktrace is pricey, but the price is reasonable for what the solution does, and it's comparable to other products."
"In the ballpark, we're talking about $30K, $50K, and up. It can even be as much as $50K or $100K."
"It is expensive. I don't have the price for other competitors."
"There is an annual license to use Darktrace."
"The price of Darktrace is high and could be reduced. We pay approximately $30,000 to $54,000 annually."
"It is inexpensive considering what it can do and the competition."
"Our customers feel that the price of Darktrace is quite high compared to other solutions."
"Licensing costs are yearly."
