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

"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it does not require human intervention to eliminate a threat; it blocks everything automatically."
"I particularly like Antigena and the analytics around the real-time monitoring of our network."
"Its most valuable feature is its ability to identify malicious connected IPs from outside and the attacks that get through to the inside."
"I have found the most valuable features to be artificial intelligence for cybersecurity, advanced machine learning capabilities, enterprise Immune System, Antigena Network, and Antigena Email. The way the solution detects the threat over the network before it spreads is very good. It notifies you of what the threat is exactly doing and gives you all the details about the execution of that application that had created the threat over your network."
"I highly recommend the overall solution to other users and rate it as nine out of ten."
"The solution is stable. We've never had any problems with it."
"This solution is both scalable and stable."
"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

"The program is quite expensive."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"Darktrace could improve its features, such as monitoring and detecting ransomware."
"One thing I would like is for Darktrace to flag SMB traffic more accurately. Currently, it only flags that SMB traffic has occurred, but it doesn't specify which file was being transferred. This makes it difficult to investigate incidents involving SMB traffic, as we don't have concrete evidence of what was being sent."
"It can have more integration with orchestration or event management solutions."
"It could build in integrations for some complementary products, but it has an assistant plugin so this is not really a big deal."
"The solution can improve the reporting. Currently, it only runs weekly and the reporting is complex."
"In terms of improvements, fine-tuning is the area where we have to spend some time because it works on unsupervised machine learning."
"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

"Darktrace is quite an expensive solution."
"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 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."
"In the ballpark, we're talking about $30K, $50K, and up. It can even be as much as $50K or $100K."
"It is expensive. I don't have the price for other competitors."
"There is an annual license to use Darktrace."
"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."
"All of the other modules, such as the licensing modules, are on par. It's one for one."
