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,…

User friendly, cloud scalability, with surpassed return on investment goals
I found that it has a good GUI and user-friendly administration They need to have some automation models embedded in them. If you integrate that, that would be a complete package. I have been using Nagios Network Analyzer for the past five years. Nagios Network Analyzer is very stable. They…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have found the product to be stable and issue-free."
"It is a stable solution without downtime."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are its full capabilities. You have visibility of everything."
"It provides a comprehensive, detailed view of network activity and whatever is happening inside it."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is autonomous. So, it learns. It uses algorithms and AI to learn the common behavioral patterns on the network, and it is able to identify threats based on abnormal patterns."
"I like the Antigena feature in Darktrace, as it offers immediate response and is helpful."
"The most valuable feature is that it gives us visibility of rogue traffic that is on the network."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution is useful for monitoring network devices."
"It is highly customizable and can be integrated well with third-party software."
"Its initial setup process is straightforward."
"The tool's UI is user-friendly, and pricing is affordable. It is very easy to deploy and learn."
"The solution offers very good system monitoring. It's easy to manage your network, as well as your hardware and software. It's really useful."
"Network tracking is the most valuable feature of Network Analyzer."
"The network monitoring feature, especially, stands out to me."
 

Cons

"Darktrace does not have any capabilities to configure."
"There aren't so many third-party vendor platforms natively integrated with the platform."
"One area for improvement is the alerting system, which generates too many alerts and becomes labor-intensive for organizations not equipped with enough personnel in their SOC."
"The interface is too mathematical and it should be simplified."
"A reporting portal could be a great addition to help customize reports."
"Getting logs from different sources can be a challenge."
"The product doesn't have an endpoint agent that can react to triggers set on the device,"
"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."
"The bandwidth for its front-end version needs enhancement."
"It has an old-fashioned interface."
"There are some loopholes you need to be aware of from a security perspective."
"There is room for improvement on the setup side."
"It's very hard to install materials. You need a lot of documentation. They should make it easier to install and configure the solution."
"They need to have some automation models embedded in them."
"I think the reports can be improved. They're adopted."
"Nagios Network Analyzer should integrate an application monitoring solution to monitor application bandwidth usage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They are too expensive compared with other vendors."
"It's an expensive solution."
"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 cost of the solution can be reduced to make it more appealing to customers."
"The solution is about $6,000 per quarter."
"The product is expensive."
"There is an annual license to use Darktrace."
"The cost is moderate."
"The solution is cost-efficient."
"I rate Nagios Network Analyzer's pricing a six out of ten."
"They charge around ten thousand per month for one thousand nodes. That is their overall cost, but it differs on which company you are applying to, whether you are a service provider or an enterprise."
