Find out what your peers are saying about Darktrace, Vectra AI, Cisco and others in Network Detection and Response (NDR)."They can provide you very contextual alerts on if something bad is happening—coming into your network or going out of your network. As part of that, they gather a lot of threat intelligence and map your connections against that. The larger benefit is that they give you a risk rating on their findings."
"The solution is outstanding from a monitoring perspective."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it does not require human intervention to eliminate a threat."
"Darktrace is very useful for us because it has a large number of models for detecting threats."
"The active threat dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The most valuable feature has been the behavioral analytics that allows us to monitor all the traffic."
"AI analytics are built directly into the product."
"The Dynamic Threat Dashboard is very nice, as it lists all of your threats and rates them, and then you can choose whether to investigate further."
"We liked their approach to identifying intrusions or network anomalies using AI."
"My challenge is actually comparing offerings from different vendors across a threat spectrum that is very large. We are talking about millions of threats. How are you confident that Blue Hexagon is catching all one million of them and Palo Alto is doing the same thing? They all have their strengths. Within that, Blue Hexagon might cover 990,000 of them. Palo Alto might cover another 990,000. It's a bit difficult to compare them and say, "Oh, are they catching the same 990,000?" I don't know."
"The product doesn't have an endpoint agent that can react to triggers set on the device,"
"The solution could be easier to use."
"Darktrace requires numerous configurations. It would be beneficial if the configuration could be made simpler."
"In an upcoming release, there could be more customizable playbooks or a library of playbooks to choose from."
"The pricing model is a little too high and could be more flexible."
"The price point for the product was too high for what our possible use case could be."
"Needs to improve its collaboration with local partners."
"The interface and dashboards could be improved for ease-of-use."
