"There are several features that I consider valuable."
"Defender is a SaaS platform, so it offers more flexibility. Managing the permissions is easier. The solution's automated detection and response features are scalable."
"Threat Explorer is an invaluable tool for me, and it plays a crucial role in helping me discern the origins of various email campaigns, pinpointing where they emanate from, and identifying the individuals within our organization who are affected."
"We liked their approach to identifying intrusions or network anomalies using AI."
"The most valuable feature is that it works autonomously."
"It is a stable solution."
"We allow customers to access our Wi-Fi as guests, and some of them were going to restricted sites. Darktrace showed us what they were doing so we could block them."
"The models, triggers, and alerts are customizable."
"The solution can scale."
"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."
"Tanium’s linear-chain architecture is valuable."
"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."
"The security features are very valuable."
"I like the tool's incident response and security patching."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
"Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively."
"The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors."
"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."
"The phishing and spam filters could use some improvement."
"The product must provide better malware detection."
"Microsoft wants its well-paying customers to finish testing some of its half-baked products, find bugs, and report bugs back to Microsoft's team, which is a little frustrating for those who have to manage it and roll it up to thousands of people across the organization."
"There is room for improvement with the UI."
"They have moved features from one console to another. Things have been moved around in the interface and it takes me time to find where certain features are."
"I'd like some additional features any product can give me to protect our environment in a better way."
"The pre-sales cost calculations could be more transparent."
"The company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect."
"In the next version, I'd like to see penetration testing."
"The solution would benefit from automation. Currently, you have to know what you are searching for."
"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."
"Darkforce could be improved in the range of the interface; how to interact with the actions it's taking or not taking."
"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."
"Darktrace does not have any capabilities to configure."
"It would be useful if there was a way to check to see if there are certain devices that are not in sync with the solution. I'm not sure if this is an option or not."
"I think there is some MSSP missing."
"The main issues are the network connection because different customers have issues with their networks. It's difficult implementing this type of solution because the network is the main feature in the architecture for these types of solutions. Tanium could improve by creating some network optimization."
"The solution can give a lot of false positives."
"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."
"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."
"The performance could improve in future releases. We have had performance issues in specialized web environments, but overall I think the problems are less than 2% of the computer systems being used."
"Any movement into a SaaS solution has challenges since the processes and data flows are not well defined. Hence, you need to build it at the same time."
