Great autonomous support, offers an easy setup, and has responsive support
We primarily use the solution for IT. Customers use it for banks or construction sites, depending on our customers. We haven't had an OT implementation yet. However, we have interest from two companies The autonomous response is great. It blocks basically everything that is outside the normal,…

The tool provides excellent sandboxing and email security features, but the backup and recovery features are not good
The product is a combination of different Kaspersky solutions. It includes Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway, Kaspersky Sandbox, and Kaspersky EDR. It is used for USB blocking. If any malicious software is installed in any system, it will be analyzed in a sandbox environment and blocked according to…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Darktrace provides better visibility into network risks, allowing you to take preemptive action against risky user behavior."
"Darktrace's most valuable features are its dashboards and its ability to summarize huge amounts of information about threats and suspicious traffic."
"I find it very good in the way that they show the past events, including the attack history."
"The ability to detect activity on the network is very useful to us. Even if it's not necessarily an illegal activity, if it is abnormal activity, it is able to detect it and notify us."
"It is a stable solution."
"The active threat dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The platform has many modules, and each module examines a different situation in the behavior."
"It is very easy to work with Darktrace once you know how it works and the type of permissions that you need to get related to the security over a network. The interface is awesome. I'm sure that you have seen Ironman, and you know Jarvis, the computer of Tony Stark. The interface of Darktrace is very similar, and you can see in 3D, like a hologram, the whole network, traffic, and all the traces inside the network. The interface is awesome, and it provides a lot of information. At least for us, it is very easy to handle this interface, get the reports, and do the interpretation of those reports. Darktrace also provides mobile monitoring. With an app on your mobile phone, you can view the information live, which is very useful for area directors and field engineers. Darktrace can be also correlated with any type of big data solution, such as Splunk."
"The most valuable use is detailing metadata collection from the endpoint and network."
"I feel the anti-ransomware update is one of the tool's valuable features."
"The email security feature is really good."
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is stable and runs all the time."
"The solution is very easy to use. Its interface is very simple, and you can build IOC's indicators. You can use your rules to detect these attacks because you can leverage threat intelligence. Y"
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
 

Cons

"Darktrace requires numerous configurations. It would be beneficial if the configuration could be made simpler."
"The user interface and the configuration are a bit complex and should be improved or simplified."
"The solution's user interface and stability could be improved."
"Its threat analyzer could be better. It should also have agents. They should improve this product by installing agents for the machine to get more visibility. Currently, they are monitoring only the network. They should also monitor the agents from inside. It should also have a better pricing plan because it is an expensive product."
"The main portal needs improvement as it is difficult to use."
"It's a very complex platform."
"The interface is too mathematical and it should be simplified."
"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."
"The solution lacks cloud integrations."
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is not a good product. We had problems with endpoints and the solution did not detect it. We didn't get any alerts about the attack."
"The blind spot or gap in the platform is network analysis functionality."
"I think the tool is still not really good enough for integration compared to other products."
"In some of the places I have come across, even though they use Kaspersky, the ransomware enters their system."
"The backup and recovery features of the product are not good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When it comes to large installations, it can be expensive, but for small accounts it's fine."
"Darktrace is quite an expensive solution."
"Darktrace is expensive. You can pay for the license yearly."
"We've budgeted about 50,000 Kuwaiti dinars for the solution. That is a yearly operating cost."
"The cost of the solution is expensive for smaller businesses. They will not be able to afford it or might not need this type of security solution."
"The cost of the solution can be reduced to make it more appealing to customers."
"The product is expensive."
"There is an annual license to use Darktrace."
"The solution has competitive pricing."
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is cheap."
"Kaspersky is one of the cheaper solutions."
