Overall Satisfaction with Darktrace

We have been using Darktrace for Threat Detection, Network Visibility, Antigena features/PREVENT for automated responses and to be in compliance. It's AI and ML capabilities to continuously monitor network traffic and user behavior are exceptional. It gives an in-depth visibility to our network. We have integrated it with Microsoft365 for Emails which helps detect phishing emails, malicious attachment blocking, spam filtering and malicious link blocking.
  • It detects anomalies or deviations from this baseline, it can raise alerts or take automated actions to investigate and mitigate the issue.
  • It's "Antigena" feature can take automated actions in response to detected threats. You can have antigena for both network and emails and the system will do the blocks at it's own
  • It integrates with Microsoft365 to identify and respond to email-based threats, including phishing attempts and malicious attachments.
  • Whitelisting email or IP are not straight forward
  • Although the GUI is great but it's too complex
  • If filters can be easier to implements
  • Antigena for network
  • Antigena for Email
  • Malicious link blocking
  • Machine learning model
  • Positive impact: Early Threat Detection
  • Positive impact: Reduced Manual Effort
  • Positive impact: Compliance Assistance
  • Positive impact: Improved Incident Response
  • Positive impact: Reduced Downtime
  • Negative impact: Training and Skill Requirements
  • Negative impact: False Positives
  • Negative impact: Implementation Costs
Darktrace is better in terms of scalability, ease of integration, and ongoing support

Do you think Darktrace delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Darktrace's feature set?

Yes

Did Darktrace live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Darktrace go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Darktrace again?

Yes

  • It's best suited for network anamoly detection and prompt action via antigena for network
  • It's also best suited for Email security and malicious email detections
  • Since, the detections are AI based you may get some false positives from time to time
  • Right after implementation it's difficult to handle due to it's learning behavior
  • Requires some time to learn
  • It not the best for Intrusion prevention scenarios but does a great job for threat detections
