Find out in this report how the two Network Traffic Analysis (NTA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's an easy way for us to get visibility in a client's environment."
"The most valuable feature is the embedded IDS from Suricata."
"It is easy to deploy and easy to handle."
"It's easy to create additional dashboards specific to supporting specific tasks."
"Corelight is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is that it works autonomously."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are the tracing of unusual external emails and monitoring the local network."
"Darktrace is very flexible."
"I am impressed with the product's ability to give insights into network traffic."
"What I like about Darktrace, is that you can quickly identify threats."
"The product offers us a very good user interface and we've found the network visibility to be very good so far."
"AI analytics are built directly into the product."
"It is a stable solution."
"In the next release, building a graphical user interface would be helpful."
"They can enhance the interface of the product. They can make it more interactive and also easier to use for feature access."
"The solution’s architecture is complex and difficult to understand. There are multiple machines and VMs."
"Corelight hasn’t added features in a long time."
"Machine learning could be a good improvement, but it's very costly."
"This product needs more in terms of prevention. The detection capabilities work well but once a threat has been detected, Darktrace should work to prevent it from doing anything malicious."
"There is a high ratio of false positive information."
"The product doesn't have an endpoint agent that can react to triggers set on the device,"
"In an upcoming release, there could be more customizable playbooks or a library of playbooks to choose from."
"The pricing model is a little too high and could be more flexible."
"Darkforce could be improved in the range of the interface; how to interact with the actions it's taking or not taking."
"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."
"This is quite an expensive product so the pricing is something that can be improved."
