Also even under attack provides high network performance and legitimate traffic, which is why it is ideal for mitigating threats at the network level as well as applications.

    Darktrace is a product well suited for the vast majority of infrastructures and helps monitoring and responding to threats based on the network in a very elastic way. This is a product based on on-premise infrastructures that hosts its machines locally, of course it can be technically difficult to monitor an entire On-Cloud infrastructure but even there there's room for sensors and monitoring, not to mention the SaaS and mail integration that completes the product.

    Cons
    Check Point Software Technologies
    • Sometimes it takes time to update device software.
    • It offers scalable payment licenses, however it is important to have a good knowledge of how to handle this type of device.
    • It does not allow the handling of several IP addresses, in addition it lacks a black and white list of data.
    • Its configuration can be complex for a first time user, so it is important to have adequate knowledge for the proper functioning of the devices.

    • There are few areas that I would say need to be improved; their customer support portal allows you to log tickets with any suggestions or things you feel the product is missing, and they will generally show you how to achieve what you want, or in some cases, introduce it as a feature in a later update.

    Darktrace
    The Darktrace toolset is very expansive, allowing it to handle many different tasks, but this leads to a user interface that is sometimes not at all intuitive. Icons don't always make sense visually, and the associated tool tips do not always provide enough detail on what action the button performs

    Darktrace support is excellent in my experience. They send a competent engineer on-site to provide on-boarding training. They were also very responsive in responding to questions and concerns. Having an individual point of contact who is a competent network and security engineer is not a common experience, at least for me.

    As the existing environment is mainly equipped with Checkpoint products and since the product has all leading features, we moved with Checkpoint DDoS protector.

    We did NOT select Darktrace. OSSIM/AlienVault is a more mature product and it provided better intelligence and reporting. The end user interface is much easier to use - and you can tell built form engineers who have had to do the work. My suggestion for anyone considering Darktrace, is to get the price upfront; do a 30/60 onsite trail; and do the same thing, at the same time, with AlienVault. AlientVault will win every time. I say that because that's exactly what I did.

    • It helps us to effectively minimize the presence of attacks in the environment of our organization.
    • It allows us to maintain the continuity of legitimate traffic.
    • It allows us to keep a really low level of false positives.
    • It allows us a great saving of time and money due to the fact that it automatically blocks unusual behaviors.

    • One big positive is how it helps us with the security assessments that clients have done on us. They are looking to see if we know how we might have unusual/malicious traffic running on the network.
    • If you have a small network and only need 1 appliance, it can be a good ROI and peace of mind.
    • You could go down a hole in trying to spend time looking at all of your traffic with this software. You need to focus only on what it is showing as potential bad traffic.
