We performed a comparison between Darktrace and Palo Alto Networks Advanced Threat Prevention 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."
"One member of staff is enough for deployment and maintenance because Darkforce is AI-driven. It does a lot of things by itself."
"Its AI technology supports cybersecurity by learning my environment and accurately responding to threats."
"It is very stable and easy to use."
"We allow customers to access our Wi-Fi as guests, and some of them were going to restricted sites. Darktrace showed us what they were doing so we could block them."
"Its most valuable feature is its ability to identify malicious connected IPs from outside and the attacks that get through to the inside."
"It is autonomous. So, it learns. It uses algorithms and AI to learn the common behavioral patterns on the network, and it is able to identify threats based on abnormal patterns."
"Technical support is helpful and responsive."
"Everything has been okay with the solution. We are using all of the features."
"Edge protection is a valuable feature."
"You can scale the product."
"It's very easy to use and configure. What is nice about Palo Alto is that even if you don't understand how to use it, you can just click on upload and upload everything that needs to be blocked."
"I find the malware protection very handy."
"The most valuable features are the simplicity, transparency, and overall ease of management."
"The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Threat Prevention for our company is the next generation firewall."
"It's a monster, it's got so many beautiful features. We do deal with other firewalls and we've got a better idea of what other firewalls' capabilities are, any comparison with the Palo Alto I liked the quality of service on the applications that you can control the amount of bandwidth an application is allowed to consume. The best feature is the quality of the application quality of service."
"The user interface and the configuration are a bit complex and should be improved or simplified."
"Darktrace could improve by being more user-friendly."
"It's a very complex platform."
"The level of tracking within the network from the transmission level up to the machine level can use improvement."
"Although we haven't detected any network threats since implementing Darktrace, we are unsure of its efficacy. It would be beneficial if the solution could offer additional details to the user regarding any potential or prevented threats. Additionally, there could be better search tools and integration."
"Getting logs from different sources can be a challenge."
"There aren't so many third-party vendor platforms natively integrated with the platform."
"The interface is too mathematical and it should be simplified."
"Generally, to deploy it will take some downtime, about a day."
"Mission learning techniques should continue to expand and detect unknown threats on the fly."
"In Africa, the technical support is probably not as good as in Europe and the USA because it's a specific premium support, partner-enabled premium support and all of that. But it's really good, I don't really have any complaints, it's fairly good. I'll give them 80%."
"The documentation needs to be improved. I need better information about how to configure it and what the best practices are."
"It's not so easy to set up a test environment, because it's not so easy to get the test license. The vendor only gives you 90 days for a test license; it's a tough license to get."
"We are attempting to improve the use of URL filtering beyond threat protection."
"Sometimes when you want to group a set of ports, and communicate with Palo Alto, you cannot group TCP and UDP ports together. This needs to be adjusted."
"The pricing has improved with the newer generation of their Firewalls, but the price could always be lower. In comparison with other solutions, I believe they're quite competitive."
