We performed a comparison between Darktrace and Tanium based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."The basic features are okay and I'm satisfied with the Defender."
"Threat Explorer is one of the features that I very much like because it is a real-time report that allows you to identify, analyze, and trace security attacks."
"Since we have started using the solution, there have been fewer compromises."
"The product is not resource-intensive."
"It also gives me good visibility because, with Defender, I'm using a Microsoft product to defend Microsoft products. The integration was really seamless and I have wide visibility because it picks up almost everything. Literally, I can see almost every activity that happens, from the e-mail to the workstation itself."
"The good part is that you don't have to configure it, which is very convenient."
"The initial setup is straightforward. You just add the license, click it, and then you can set up the rules. It is quite simple."
"Defender for 365 is a comprehensive cloud-based solution. The value of the cloud is that you aren't alone. Threat intelligence and analytics are shared in the cloud. We don't have to find the solution alone. If you face an unknown threat with traditional solutions like Trend Micro and Symantec, you need to open a case and send your information to them to analyze forensically and identify the source of the attack."
"The AI-based pattern is the most valuable feature."
"One thing I appreciate is Antigena Email, which is for email protection."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are the tracing of unusual external emails and monitoring the local network."
"The active threat dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"I am impressed with the product's ability to give insights into network traffic."
"A very useful feature in Darktrace for real-time threat analysis is the packet inspection that analyzes the packet traffic in real time."
"It's a very stable product."
"I like the Antigena feature in Darktrace, as it offers immediate response and is helpful."
"The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors."
"Tanium’s linear-chain architecture is valuable."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."
"I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in parallel."
"Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively."
"The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization."
"There needs to be an improvement in integrating the product to work across multiple operating systems, and to have better support for non-Microsoft file types."
"There is room for improvement with the UI."
"Microsoft should provide more documentation for users so they can self-educate. I would like to see more documentation for advanced security features."
"The XDR dashboard has room for improvement."
"The company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect."
"Microsoft security solutions work as expected. They are constantly updating the solutions to make them better. At the same time, the changes can impact a customer's environment, and we need to adjust settings. Sometimes we aren't aware of the changes, and nothing is pushed from the backend automatically."
"You should be able to deploy Defender for every subscription without the need to add servers."
"The GUI is sometimes slow to fetch the device report and could be improved."
"The solution can improve the reporting."
"I believe their network monitoring device licensing module could use some improvement."
"Darktrace could improve by being more user-friendly."
"It is expensive, but everything else has been great so far."
"I would like to see more protection in the endpoint. Especially because we have a lot of people using VPNs. If they would improve end point security, it would give more control there."
"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."
"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 pricing model is a little too high and could be more flexible."
"The reporting could be improved."
"The solution lacks mobility."
"They could improve the UI."
"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."
"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."
"It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model."
"Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
