We performed a comparison between Cisco NGIPS 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."The most valuable feature is that it is able to detect any form of infiltration."
"I've found the performance and stability to be the most valuable features of Cisco NGIPS. It is scalable as well."
"The solution gives us a lot of visibility into our security."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco NGIPS is its protection."
"I configured the system myself and the process was okay."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco NGIPS is the centralized user interface. You have the ability to quickly push out configurations across your environment using the Cisco UI. It's a powerful capability of that solution."
"I like the way the tool pushes the packets from the node level."
"The Malware Detection, threat defense, sandboxing, VPN and mail security have all been valuable features of Cisco NGIPS."
"I am impressed with the product's ability to give insights into network traffic."
"Darktrace's most valuable features are that it understands the network environment and is able to trace the traffic and alert on anomalies."
"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 Antigena feature is most valuable. Once it learns your environment, Antigena can step in and block a denial of service attack, a ransomware attack, or just about anything that doesn't belong in the environment. It can detect any type of attack that hits the environment because it understands what normal looks like for the network. It is very useful for an autonomous response."
"t was pretty as far as the granularity of what you were getting out of it."
"The product can scale."
"The solution is stable. We've never had any problems with it."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are the tracing of unusual external emails and monitoring the local network."
"The user interface needs some improvement, it is a little rudimentary and not very intuitive."
"Cisco NGIPS' performance could be better."
"The integration can be more secure."
"It has room for improvement when it comes to integrating machine learning and AI into it where even if you don't have a baseline that is of length for anomaly detection, it could do more like an AI style machine learning. It learns on its own."
"The solution should contain the sandbox features which we find in Check Point."
"We have a separate management controller for Cisco NGIPS. If they have not done it already they should integrate Cisco NGIPS with the Cloud Portal."
"The only thing I think they may need to improve on a little bit is identifying software more correctly when you do network discovery."
"The price of Cisco NGIPS could improve."
"Darktrace could expand into EDR (endpoint detection and response) and combine it with its network detection."
"It is expensive, but everything else has been great so far."
"Darktrace could improve its features, such as monitoring and detecting ransomware."
"The interface and dashboards could be improved for ease-of-use."
"Needs to improve its collaboration with local partners."
"The cost is a bit on the higher side."
"The main portal needs improvement as it is difficult to use."
"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."
Cisco NGIPS is ranked 5th in Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS) with 62 reviews while Darktrace is ranked 1st in Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS) with 65 reviews. Cisco NGIPS is rated 8.2, while Darktrace is rated 8.2. The top reviewer of Cisco NGIPS writes "Very effective for malware and signature-based anomalies but stability needs improvement".
