We performed a comparison between Darktrace and Zscaler Cloud IPS 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."It's a very stable product."
"I like the Antigena feature in Darktrace, as it offers immediate response and is helpful."
"I find it very good in the way that they show the past events, including the attack history."
"Artificial intelligence and machine learning functionalities are valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the solution's ability to trim out the false positives and point your attention to the real important stuff."
"We liked their approach to identifying intrusions or network anomalies using AI."
"Ability to see events and exactly what traffic or website the device had tried to connect to that raised the alert or issue."
"The most valuable feature is that it works autonomously."
"The initial setup process is easy."
"Cloud IPS integration is seamless, and it uses a Zero Trust model. It also simplifies overall user access management."
"The best feature is that Zscaler allows for a separation between cloud applications and URL filtering. For example, under the cloud application segment, I can bypass Microsoft Office 365 without the need to add URLs manually. It's one click, so that's handy."
"The initial setup is straightforward and easy in comparison with other solutions."
"The product's most valuable feature is complete SSL inspection."
"In an upcoming release, there could be more customizable playbooks or a library of playbooks to choose from."
"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."
"I believe their network monitoring device licensing module could use some improvement."
"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."
"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 pricing needs improvement."
"I would like to see a feature where the tool ingests information from an anti-malware product that is present at the endpoint."
"I would like for the product to work on the endpoints as well. I would like to see enhanced visibility into the endpoints and network but this solution only sits on the network itself."
"When it comes to scalability, the IPsec could be improved."
"We recently had a significant issue with Zscaler. I think they have too many customers and some of their connection edge nodes went down because there were too many requests. I think they aren't scaling enough to keep up with the demand in some areas. That's one thing they should improve."
"They have given limited free access for a year. Instead, they should increase the file size and give limited free access for around two months. It will allow engineers to evaluate the product."
"We encounter issues sharing IP addresses with other companies using the software."
"There is always room for improvement."
