"I like the Antigena feature in Darktrace, as it offers immediate response and is helpful."
"Artificial intelligence and machine learning functionalities are valuable."
"The product offers us a very good user interface and we've found the network visibility to be very good so far."
"The main valuable feature is that we don't need a lot of analysts. With few analysts, we have all the network monitored, 24/7."
"The platform has many modules, and each module examines a different situation in the behavior."
"The most valuable feature of Darktrace and the most valuable feature is the artificial intelligence module because that is the tool that determines automatically if there is any risk or not in the network."
"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."
"Darktrace is extremely stable."
"We had useful information within the hour of deployment. The ability to trace back for historical analysis, as well as the behavioral analysis done with the security information, puts the user in a position to make an informed decision to mitigate the performance or security incidents. Regarding the security incidents, Reveal (x) is able to create incident cards that guide your teams through the incidents and gives you the option to delve into the transaction detail to potentially view payloads as well."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"The most valuable features of ExtraHop Reveal(x) are the detection and alerting of network behavior and anomalies."
"ExtraHop Reveal(x) is one of the tools that works out of the box when it comes to threat hunting."
"When there are performance issues with an HTTP app, ExtraHop enables us to identify the causes within a few minutes. We can see what transactions are being impacted by something that may be happening within the server environment."
"It's a wire analytics tool. We use it for isolating and determining issues on our network or applications. It does a lot for crediting the network as opposed to discrediting the network. A lot of people come along and say that it's a network issue. It's always considered to be a network issue, but by using ExtraHop, we can quickly tell them that it's not a networking issue. It's something to do with your application or something at the other end. It could be a database issue. This tool gives us the ability to pinpoint with great accuracy the comings and goings on our network."
"The solution works well for sending sensors."
"Setting up the solution is relatively easy."
"There aren't so many third-party vendor platforms natively integrated with the platform."
"It would be helpful if they could recognize incidents and simplify the customer's challenge to identify what is happening."
"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."
"The level of tracking within the network from the transmission level up to the machine level can use improvement."
"They just need to work on their price. In terms of features, we are trying to understand all the features that we have. We're still exploring everything that we have so that we can fully utilize it. At this point in time, it is not about the features. It is more about utilization. We're just trying to utilize everything to full capacity."
"Darktrace could expand into EDR (endpoint detection and response) and combine it with its network detection."
"Needs to improve its collaboration with local partners."
"Darktrace does not have any capabilities to configure."
"It needs integration with more security vendors."
"The solution should include more support protocols."
"The solution is expensive and gets more expensive if a company needs to scale it."
"I think the tuning capabilities could be improved. We're working on minimizing false positives. Apart from that, everything seems fine to me."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The solution's reporting part and GUI are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"There is a little training online, but it'd be cool if ExtraHop provided certifications. CrowdStrike does elective training that gives you a certification as a Falcon administrator. It'd be nice to see ExtraHop have something like that"
"I would like to see more cloud capability."
