Featured Reviews

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.
Muhammad Ali Aziz - PeerSpot reviewer
A cost-effective solution for endpoint protection and EDR
The Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is designed to detect various attacks, such as Mitraframe, and provide alerts for each attack technique and procedure. It also offers alerts for potential threats and conducts thorough analyses through its sandbox environment, which isolates and executes malware or unknown files within virtual machines. This allows for real-time threat detection and feedback on potential threats. The platform is a SOC tool and thus requires skilled resources for effective operation, as it involves both automation and manual understanding of attack scales. Third-party intelligence integration enriches the alert system but may lead to occasional false positives, which can be fine-tuned through exclusion options and custom rule creation. The platform offers extensive customization options, allowing users to create rules specific to file detection or PowerShell activities. It provides visibility into telemetry data, enabling comprehensive monitoring of environmental activities. Integration with frameworks like Mitraframe helps tailor policies and rules to suit specific environments. The platform competes with products like FireEye, Snowflake, and Trend Micro. Integration between Kaspersky and other products is seamless, allowing unified threat detection. It is a solid choice for enterprises seeking advanced threat detection capabilities in the Middle East. Overall, I rate the solution eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The autonomous response is also highly designed in Darktrace."
"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."
"Darktrace is very stable, and I would rate its stability a ten out of ten."
"I like the Antigena feature in Darktrace, as it offers immediate response and is helpful."
"I have found the most valuable features to be artificial intelligence for cybersecurity, advanced machine learning capabilities, enterprise Immune System, Antigena Network, and Antigena Email. The way the solution detects the threat over the network before it spreads is very good. It notifies you of what the threat is exactly doing and gives you all the details about the execution of that application that had created the threat over your network."
"The solution is outstanding from a monitoring perspective."
"The main valuable feature is that we don't need a lot of analysts. With few analysts, we have all the network monitored, 24/7."
"Darktrace is valuable since it offers full packet capture and detailed metadata."
"The email security feature is really good."
"The most valuable use is detailing metadata collection from the endpoint and network."
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is stable and runs all the time."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"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"
"I feel the anti-ransomware update is one of the tool's valuable features."
 

Cons

"The pricing model is a little too high and could be more flexible."
"Darktrace requires numerous configurations. It would be beneficial if the configuration could be made simpler."
"The Darktrace Mobile app needs improvement as it's currently limited in functionality, and the learning AI takes a while to adapt to new devices, flagging new users as threats for up to a month before recognizing them as regular network users."
"The pricing is a bit high for the region."
"This is quite an expensive product so the pricing is something that can be improved."
"The management user interface needs improvement."
"Darktrace could expand into EDR (endpoint detection and response) and combine it with its network detection."
"They just need to work on their price. In terms of features, we are trying to understand all the features that we have. We're still exploring everything that we have so that we can fully utilize it. At this point in time, it is not about the features. It is more about utilization. We're just trying to utilize everything to full capacity."
"The solution lacks cloud integrations."
"In some of the places I have come across, even though they use Kaspersky, the ransomware enters their system."
"I think the tool is still not really good enough for integration compared to other products."
"The backup and recovery features of the product are not good."
"The blind spot or gap in the platform is network analysis functionality."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is not cheap. It is not a one-time purchase, there is a subscription that needs to be paid every one to five years depending on your choice. It is expensive but you can reduce the price by only using the services that you want."
"The tool's pricing is costly."
"The pricing is quite high, estimated at around $350,000 per year."
"If you consider the features and the cost of market leaders, we are satisfied with the pricing."
"The pricing is expensive. It costs over $100,000 a year."
"Our customers feel that the price of Darktrace is quite high compared to other solutions."
"All of the other modules, such as the licensing modules, are on par. It's one for one."
"It is expensive. I don't have the price for other competitors."
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is cheap."
"The solution has competitive pricing."
"Kaspersky is one of the cheaper solutions."
