We performed a comparison between Darktrace and Splunk User Behavior Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Darktrace is very flexible."
"The most valuable feature is the alerts. The alerts are meaningful. The event rolls up into meaningful and actionable alerts rather than just being noise."
"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."
"What I like about Darktrace, is that you can quickly identify threats."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Darktrace is the AI that detects abnormal network activity."
"The solution is outstanding from a monitoring perspective."
"I have used multiple solutions, but its graphical user interface is quite interesting and quite descriptive. There are a lot of video animations, and we can easily see how the data is transferred between various points. That's something really interesting. It is also quite easy to understand for a new user."
"It's straightforward in terms of configuration and troubleshooting and log management and monitoring as well. These are the edge points in addition to it being a modular solution where you can capitalize on your current licenses with extra licensing models, which can match the customer's business requirement and it can help the customer to design or to actually plan for their own roadmap."
"This is a good security product."
"The solution appears to be stable, although we haven't used it heavily."
"The solution is definitely scalable."
"The solution is fast, flexible, and easy to use."
"The solution is extremely scalable. Our customers are regularly scaling up after installing Splunk."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to search through a large amount of data."
"This intelligent user behavior analytics package is easy to configure and use while remaining feature filled."
"Getting logs from different sources can be a challenge."
"Darktrace requires numerous configurations. It would be beneficial if the configuration could be made simpler."
"It's quite expensive to have."
"This is quite an expensive product so the pricing is something that can be improved."
"Its documentation is not up to the mark. At times, I have a lot of trouble finding a solution. Even when I posted questions on the community chats, it took a lot of time for me to get answers. That's something that can be improved. Darktrace can focus on creating a more interactive community. If there are more people from Darktrace to focus on community chats, it would be better."
"Darktrace is a closed technology, meaning we know very little about how it works, including the architecture, which is significant. As a result, when we implement the system and find we're getting many false positives, we have minimal insight into why it's happening and what we can do to fix it. We don't know how the solution is configured, the criteria for threats to be determined, or the product's inner workings. We understand that they have to ensure privacy and their copyright, but we want to see some documentation or public research into the security Darktrace provides."
"The solution could be easier to use."
"Darktrace could expand into EDR (endpoint detection and response) and combine it with its network detection."
"We want to have an automated system for bot hunting that enables us to detect anomalies predictively based on historical data. It would be helpful if Splunk included process mining as an alternative option. We have a threat workflow, but it would be useful if we could supplement that with some process mining capabilities over time."
"The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need."
"I'm not aware of any lacking features."
"There are occasional bugs."
"In the future I would like to see simplified statistics and analytical threats."
"It would be good if the solution had an analytics tool that allowed us to analyze the data without writing specific queries."
"Currently, a lot of network operations need improvement. We still need people to handle incidents. Our vision is to leverage status and convert it directly from the network devices. It would be ideal if we could take action using APIs and API code and remove manual processes."
"They should work to add more built-in correlation searches and more use cases based on worldwide customer experiences. They need more ready-made use cases."
