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.

Easier to learn, access, and use, and comes with an easy to understand GUI
What we like most in LogRhythm NetworkXDR is its GUI. The GUI is the best when compared to competitors. For example, there is another SIEM in QRadar and Splunk, and for open source SIEM there is Wazuh and there are other SIEM solutions, but LogRhythm NetworkXDR is more reliable and easier to access. It's easy to use and its display is easy to understand. Learning LogRhythm NetworkXDR is smooth sailing compared to other SIEM solutions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"DT console and alerting system allow getting detailed information about the behavior of users and malicious external or internal threats."
"Darktrace is very flexible."
"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."
"I find it very good in the way that they show the past events, including the attack history, and you are able to visualize all of the attack paths and connectivity to see what's happened."
"The solution can scale."
"We liked their approach to identifying intrusions or network anomalies using AI."
"We have found the product to be stable and issue-free."
"It is a stable solution."
"What we like most in LogRhythm NetworkXDR is its GUI; the GUI is the best when compared to competitors, for example, there is another SIEM in QRadar and Splunk, and for open source SIEM there is Wazuh and there are other SIEM solutions, but LogRhythm NetworkXDR is more reliable and easier to access, it's easy to use and its display is easy to understand, and learning LogRhythm NetworkXDR is smooth sailing compared to other SIEM solutions."
 

Cons

"It can have more integration with orchestration or event management solutions."
"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."
"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."
"Darktrace needs to automate the reports of false positives, botnets and everything."
"I am not so satisfied with the pricing model for Darktrace. The price is a little bit high compared to other solutions."
"The price point for the product was too high for what our possible use case could be."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"I would like to see a feature where the tool ingests information from an anti-malware product that is present at the endpoint."
"What would make LogRhythm NetworkXDR better is if they could run it open source, similar to what is being done in Wazuh, and Wazuh is also a good tool to compare against. More integration could also make LogRhythm NetworkXDR better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution is about $6,000 per quarter."
"There is an annual license to use Darktrace."
"The pricing is a little high compared to the competition."
"I am using a demo of Darktrace for deployment and testing which is free."
"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."
"We've budgeted about 50,000 Kuwaiti dinars for the solution. That is a yearly operating cost."
"In the ballpark, we're talking about $30K, $50K, and up. It can even be as much as $50K or $100K."
