Consistent threat hunting and anomaly detection deliver valuable insights for network security management
In terms of improvement for Darktrace, pricing is the main concern. Pricing bothers me and this is one of the major factors when choosing a solution. When we get feedback from customers, that's the only felt need. When we factor in Darktrace, we do it only limited. We put it on where the perimeters and connections are, but still, some gray areas are left out, especially if we have multiple branches. We need Darktrace on each branch to get the data out, and I suggest having some kind of a centralized product that gets data from multiple sources to aggregate and provide the data.

Helped our organization by providing a comprehensive picture of our cyber posture in terms of threat intelligence
The most valuable feature is the capability to correlate all the vulnerabilities or threats detected from different sources. It does a very good job in correlating and identifying threat actors. Its integration with other products such as HCI, Firewall, and VDI solution for native control and detection also adds significant value.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has helped the organization to detect any malware affecting the machines...The network monitoring and the email monitoring features are very valuable for us."
"The most valuable feature has been the behavioral analytics that allows us to monitor all the traffic."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it does not require human intervention to eliminate a threat; it blocks everything automatically."
"It is a stable solution without downtime."
"The autonomous response is also highly designed in Darktrace."
"Darktrace is very useful for us because it has a large number of models for detecting threats."
"What I like about Darktrace, is that you can quickly identify threats."
"The most valuable feature is that it gives us visibility of rogue traffic that is on the network."
"Sangfor Cyber Command has helped our organization by providing a comprehensive picture of our cyber posture in terms of threat intelligence."
"The tool is a good product in the NDR market. Its valuable features are ease of management and breach of response features. It is an easy-to-learn solution."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to correlate all the vulnerabilities or threats detected from different sources."
 

Cons

"The pricing model is a little too high and could be more flexible."
"The user interface and the configuration are a bit complex and should be improved or simplified."
"They are too expensive compared with other vendors."
"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."
"One area for improvement is the alerting system, which generates too many alerts and becomes labor-intensive for organizations not equipped with enough personnel in their SOC."
"The main portal needs improvement as it is difficult to use."
"I feel that Darktrace could be improved, particularly in the support aspect which is currently very poor. We need to chase Darktrace instead of them being proactive with us."
"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 product needs to improve its dashboard. Integration with existing systems has been challenging. When comparing it with Trend Micro, which offers an all-in-one NDR solution, the tool's integration process can be difficult."
"Technical support could be improved, and I rate them a seven. The support team has fewer cybersecurity resources capable of managing Cyber Command compared to other solutions."
"The solution could improve by incorporating email security."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When it comes to large installations, it can be expensive, but for small accounts it's fine."
"The pricing is subscription-based and it is high."
"The product is expensive."
"In the ballpark, we're talking about $30K, $50K, and up. It can even be as much as $50K or $100K."
"Prior to negotiating, Darktrace offered their appliance and service for $80,000 per year."
"It was $3,600 a month or $2,000 plus or so. I am not sure. Its licensing is pretty simple."
"There is an annual license to use Darktrace."
"If you consider the features and the cost of market leaders, we are satisfied with the pricing."
