Pasan Jayarathna - PeerSpot reviewer
Network Security Engineer at Cyberwell Solution
Monitoring has improved data loss detection and now spots abnormal internal file transfers quickly
In my understanding, the best feature Darktrace offers is the identification of copying files, which acts as a DLP, and it is a main concern for companies because users sometimes copy data outside without knowing, especially those without a technical background. When I mention the DLP-like feature and file copying detection, the alerts have been very timely, as we get an alert within a couple of minutes, which is excellent. Even if some developers are working after hours and copying files, our SOC team detects this, and most of the time they call us so we can identify the users. The alerts are quite accurate and proactive.

Helps us reduce phishing email attacks and has a user-friendly dashboard
It is the best product. It helps reduce spam and phishing attacks. It has user-friendly Real-Time Phishing Mitigation features for environmental protection. It primarily focuses on verifying security features like SPS (Sender Policy Framework) and Smart DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail). The DLP feature ensures that only emails meeting the required security standards pass through the secure gateway. The configuration and management of the policies and settings are easy to navigate. I rate it an eight out of ten.

"The active threat dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."

"It's a very complex platform."
