We performed a comparison between Darktrace and Fortra's Tripwire Enterprise 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 solution can scale."
"The models, triggers, and alerts are customizable."
"It is a very simple product to use."
"Darktrace is very flexible."
"Darktrace's most valuable features are that it understands the network environment and is able to trace the traffic and alert on anomalies."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it does not require human intervention to eliminate a threat."
"In terms of features, the data or information they collect and unsupervised machine learning are very valuable. Its unsupervised machine learning has reduced our team's effort. Both Darktrace and Vectra work on unsupervised machine learning that learns the behavior or develops a profile on its own, which allows our security team to do some other tasks rather than spending time on Darktrace or Vectra. Because of unsupervised machine learning, its detection capability is quite good. Along with that, if we utilize the integration feature properly, the automated incident response capability of Darktrace is quite useful."
"It provides a comprehensive, detailed view of network activity and whatever is happening inside it."
"Its reporting features are great. It gives you an in-depth report. Its customization is also great, and it is working fine."
"The product supports different platforms."
"The most valuable feature is integrity management. I had some discussions with service providers, and they also agreed."
"We use Tripwire Enterprise as a tool to test the vulnerability of a network. That is the most valuable feature of the product for us."
"Even if you change a single word in Notepad, it will let you know whether it was added, removed, or modified."
"File monitoring is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"What's most valuable in Tripwire Enterprise is the ability to execute custom COCR rules that lets me fine-tune how I monitor Linux and Windows agents."
"The most valuable feature is the integrity."
"It should be easier to access the Darktrace portal and its documentation. Only the customer can access their portal and support. It could be cheaper."
"Darktrace does not have any capabilities to configure."
"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."
"The product doesn't have an endpoint agent that can react to triggers set on the device,"
"The initial setup is more complex and time-consuming than some solutions."
"I would like to see a feature where the tool ingests information from an anti-malware product that is present at the endpoint."
"I would like to see some additional enhancements."
"I did not use the AI features because they should make it more user-friendly which would be a benefit. Additionally, the solution could integrate with more SIEM or SOAR tools."
"The main way that it can be improved is through better reporting."
"Cloud monitoring could be better. It would also be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model."
"It needs more local support from the OEM side. It would be great if this can be improved."
"The initial setup is complex."
"A lot of network devices need a custom integration."
"An area for improvement in Tripwire Enterprise is stability, as my company had stability issues with the last few versions of the solution. Tripwire Enterprise has been a bit buggy."
"The deployment with certain systems can be difficult and it needs to be simplified."
"The Windows online integration license needs to be improved."
