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,…

Recognizes and mitigates a wide array of spam and phishing attempts
This is one of the best solutions for servers for advanced users. Advanced users, such as those working with banks and who have to make payments, are exposed to more attacks. The people whose job is to write, create invoices, register products, or do quotes. They don't need the EPR. They can use a…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I am impressed with the product's ability to give insights into network traffic."
"What I like about Darktrace, is that you can quickly identify threats."
"The platform has many modules, and each module examines a different situation in the behavior."
"The ability to see what we have not seen before is most valuable. It is very interesting to find out the most vulnerable devices in our network."
"I like the Antigena feature in Darktrace, as it offers immediate response and is helpful."
"The most valuable feature of Darktrace is the AI that detects abnormal network activity."
"It is a very simple product to use."
"We liked their approach to identifying intrusions or network anomalies using AI."
"I've found it's got excellent web protection."
"Great technical support staff."
"It is easy to manage."
"We have control over our devices, specifically USB ports, allowing us to block or control the traffic."
"The patch management module is very important."
"The dashboard management feature is valuable."
"The product so far has been good at protecting us. We haven't faced a breach."
"It prevents our users from circumventing security. Everything is password protected so they can't get into it. They can't uninstall it. They can't do anything."
 

Cons

"Darktrace should have more automation and integrations with other security monitoring tools."
"It would be helpful if they could recognize incidents and simplify the customer's challenge to identify what is happening."
"The interface is too mathematical and it should be simplified."
"One thing that I would like to look at going forward is to have a fully automated network infrastructure that is monitored automatically real-time, and that gives me this kind of capability where I would be able to look at my network at any given time and see the state of my network. With Darktrace, at the moment, I have to almost put in a date and tell them that want you to give me data from this date to this date. I don't want that. I want a fast solution in which it doesn't matter when I log into the application. Whenever I log in, I must be able to see my network and run a report. In other words, if I go in now and I say, "Give me a full report of what happened today, it must be able to give me that. It mustn't just be limited to a seven-day period, for argument's sake. It must be able to give me real-time and day-to-day tracking of what has happened within my network."
"Upper management wasn't sold on the value proposition."
"I would like to see some additional enhancements."
"Needs to improve its collaboration with local partners."
"I did not use the AI features because they should make it more user-friendly which would be a benefit. Additionally, the solution could integrate with more SIEM or SOAR tools."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense can improve by including the intrusion and prevention system not only on their most expensive platform. Additionally, it blocks software that is legitimate from users. They complain and then we have to manually unblock the software, by hash, or we receive a message. Some of the prevention features are not available and this might cause us to need a separate firewall or something to protect the company."
"It would be nice if Panda Security Adaptive Defense could come out with remote desktop usage."
"I'd like to integrate it into my main services."
"t would help if it would monitor the network better."
"Their MacOS support isn't that good."
"The Linux installation is performed on the command line and they need a package installer for that operating system."
"For some urgent updates, I don't like the need for the tool to be frequently restarted."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense’s stability could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Darktrace is pricey, but the price is reasonable for what the solution does, and it's comparable to other products."
"The pricing is expensive. It costs over $100,000 a year."
"The solution is about $6,000 per quarter."
"It is expensive. I don't have the price for other competitors."
"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."
"It was $3,600 a month or $2,000 plus or so. I am not sure. Its licensing is pretty simple."
"The product is expensive."
"Panda is cloud-only and comes at a reasonable cost. It is a set price per seat."
"The licensing is subscription-based and priced well compared to other endpoint security solutions."
"I don't think Panda's license is too expensive, but they're charging more than it's worth. It's a yearly license. For 1,000 endpoints, it's around $18,000."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is approximately $30 annually."
"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."
"Customers need to pay monthly licensing costs for Panda Security Adaptive Defense, which is not expensive."
"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."
"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."
