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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features that are most valuable to me include detection, response with analytics, and network detection."
"Provides great network protection."
"Implementing this solution has given us confidence that we are secure."
"Ability to see events and exactly what traffic or website the device had tried to connect to that raised the alert or issue."
"The investigative part of Darktrace is valuable, especially the automation features. It allows setting up checks and provides guidance on mitigating situations, which is very useful. There are different modules that you can add to the console for protection."
"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."
"The models, triggers, and alerts are customizable."
"The solution is easier to manage than FortiMail. You can implement policies easily."
"It helps reduce spam and phishing attacks."
 

Cons

"I was under impression that Darktrace's automatic blocking would be an out-of-the-box feature, but we had to integrate it with our firewall to get it to block automatically. The salesperson should be upfront and explain that you need to integrate it with your network. I would also like to see more reporting on risk. Banks in my region want to see at a glance the risk level of various assets."
"The cost of the solution is expensive for smaller businesses."
"It would be good if they can include some endpoint protection for remote workers. Nowadays, most people are working remotely. Therefore, they should include some type of sensors that can be installed on the endpoint in order to directly report the main usage and protect remotely. Phone protection will also be a great feature to add to Darktrace."
"We want to continue using Darktrace but it's very expensive."
"The only thing that I can think of that would improve it would be if they had a better visualization and a reporting portal."
"The level of tracking within the network from the transmission level up to the machine level can use improvement."
"The solution's user interface and stability could be improved."
"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 solution does not always effectively identify zero day spam and phishing, but once reported the correction occurs very quickly."
"Its pricing could be affordable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our customers feel that the price of Darktrace is quite high compared to other solutions."
"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 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."
"This solution is expensive."
"It's an expensive solution."
"It is inexpensive considering what it can do and the competition."
"We've budgeted about 50,000 Kuwaiti dinars for the solution. That is a yearly operating cost."
"Prior to negotiating, Darktrace offered their appliance and service for $80,000 per year."
"Email Security Gateway's pricing is good."
