We performed a comparison between Check Point IPS and Darktrace 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."Some of the features for views and visualization are already predefined as default files."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is called tunneling. Tunneling is one of the major security features that hackers cannot penetrate through."
"IPS signatures can be set quite granularly depending on your environment. You can filter on performance impact, severity, and confidence which makes sizing and adapting easier."
"It is easy to configure."
"I can easily monitor all of our connected devices and I get instant notification of reconnections and new connections, which removes some of the monitoring burden."
"User-friendly and easy to implement."
"Check Point Intrusion Prevention System has great profiles, and we can continuously create, modify, activate, deactivate or configure any specific setting to allow the profile to focus on just one thing or for certain attacks."
"The product's initial setup is easy."
"t was pretty as far as the granularity of what you were getting out of it."
"I find the complete portfolio to be excellent."
"What I like about Darktrace, is that you can quickly identify threats."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it does not require human intervention to eliminate a threat."
"It provides a comprehensive, detailed view of network activity and whatever is happening inside it."
"We liked their approach to identifying intrusions or network anomalies using AI."
"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."
"The pain point that I have with this solution is contacting technical support."
"There is a performance impact on the NGFW post-enabling the IPS blade/Module, which can even lead to downtime if IPS starts to monitor or block high-volume traffic."
"We have a lot of false positives and the list of IPs are not up to date in terms of their location."
"When entering, it always takes a long time to load."
"I observed on our management that sometimes IPS does not connect to the threat cloud, we have to check and improve it. Otherwise, all of the features are good."
"I am not aware of a preview channel or some repository to have a preview on upcoming signatures, however, this would be nice to have."
"The cost is high."
"There is no standalone IPS appliance available."
"The price point for the product was too high for what our possible use case could be."
"The solution can improve the reporting."
"Darkforce could be improved in the range of the interface; how to interact with the actions it's taking or not taking."
"The interface is too mathematical and it should be simplified."
"I was under impression that Darktrace's automatic blocking would be an out-of-the-box feature, but we had to integrate it with our firewall to get it to block automatically. The salesperson should be upfront and explain that you need to integrate it with your network. I would also like to see more reporting on risk. Banks in my region want to see at a glance the risk level of various assets."
"Its threat analyzer could be better. It should also have agents. They should improve this product by installing agents for the machine to get more visibility. Currently, they are monitoring only the network. They should also monitor the agents from inside. It should also have a better pricing plan because it is an expensive product."
"I would like to see a feature where the tool ingests information from an anti-malware product that is present at the endpoint."
"The cost is a bit on the higher side."
