    Darktrace
    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.

    Great for network DLP, web, and endpoint monitoring. DSPM data discovery works well for key structured and unstructured data sources. An area for improvement is simplifying the interface into a single pane for reviewing incidents and making it part of the tooling, rather than a separate module with a fee (incident receiver).

    • If the policy is set correctly, it identifies DLP (Data Loss Prevention).
    • Scanning zip files to find executables works really well.

    Cons
    Darktrace
    • 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.

    • The DLP dictionary functions need to be expanded upon, such as matching all regex patterns with any phrases and vice versa. The only way to do this today is to create two dictionaries and then use an engine to combine them; however, this approach loses the ability to utilize proximity.
    • Regex does not support lookaheads.

    It's a powerfull product that help administrators to provide email security to our organization.
    Good metrics about received emails that help us to determine in doubt case if the email is a false positive or it's malware.
    They're improving the product releasing continuous updates and have mobile phone app to manage it.

    Usability
    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.

    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.

    Thought about deploying zero trust cloud within our environment, but we are still in the early stages of our digital transformation projects. Still evaluating current options, but we knew Zscaler Data Security took a strict approach to data, so that's what we wanted to evaluate.

    Return on Investment
    Darktrace
    • 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.

    • It has had a positive impact on protection of intellectual property
    • It had a negative impact on us as tenant to tenant connectivity needs to get better.
    • Positive news in how it integrates with our identity provider
