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."The NDR is good in their solution and they have NTG for email."
"I like the Antigena feature in Darktrace, as it offers immediate response and is helpful."
"A very useful feature in Darktrace for real-time threat analysis is the packet inspection that analyzes the packet traffic in real time."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it does not require human intervention to eliminate a threat."
"t was pretty as far as the granularity of what you were getting out of it."
"I find the complete portfolio to be excellent."
"The most valuable feature of Darktrace and the most valuable feature is the artificial intelligence module because that is the tool that determines automatically if there is any risk or not in the network."
"I find it very good in the way that they show the past events, including the attack history."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to search through a large amount of data."
"It's easily scalable."
"The most valuable feature is being able to take data and put it into other systems so that we could see the output, and to see where we need to apply our focus."
"We are really pleased with Splunk and its features. It would be practically impossible to function without it. To provide a general overview of the system, it's important to note that the standard log files are currently around 250 gigabytes per day. It would be impossible to manually walk through these logs by hand, which is why automation is essential."
"The most valuable features are the indexing and powerful search features."
"The solution appears to be stable, although we haven't used it heavily."
"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."
"The solution is extremely scalable. Our customers are regularly scaling up after installing Splunk."
"It can have more integration with orchestration or event management solutions. They can provide more knowledge or research information for analysts for investigating cases and detecting anomalies in networks."
"Upper management wasn't sold on the value proposition."
"It takes time to go through the interface and pick up things. If it were a more straightforward interface, then it would free up time."
"The user interface and the configuration are a bit complex and should be improved or simplified."
"One thing I would like is for Darktrace to flag SMB traffic more accurately. Currently, it only flags that SMB traffic has occurred, but it doesn't specify which file was being transferred. This makes it difficult to investigate incidents involving SMB traffic, as we don't have concrete evidence of what was being sent."
"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."
"It should be easier to access the Darktrace portal and its documentation. Only the customer can access their portal and support. It could be cheaper."
"In the next version, I'd like to see penetration testing."
"It would be good if the solution had an analytics tool that allowed us to analyze the data without writing specific queries."
"The correlation engine should have persistent and definable rules."
"I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions."
"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."
"If the price was lowered and the setup process was less complex, I would consider rating it higher."
"There are occasional bugs."
"I'm not aware of any lacking features."
"We'd like the ability to do custom searches."
