We performed a comparison between Darktrace and IBM Security Network IPS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Darktrace, Vectra AI, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS)."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."
"I have used multiple solutions, but its graphical user interface is quite interesting and quite descriptive. There are a lot of video animations, and we can easily see how the data is transferred between various points. That's something really interesting. It is also quite easy to understand for a new user."
"The most valuable feature is that it gives us visibility of rogue traffic that is on the network."
"The AI-based pattern is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"What I like about Darktrace, is that you can quickly identify threats."
"The most valuable feature of Darktrace is the AI that detects abnormal network activity."
"A simple, powerful AI solution that just does all the work for you when you turn it on."
"The most valuable feature is its simplicity."
"The initial setup is simple."
"We'd like threat hunting, and we'd like to see a global solution that can automate vulnerability scans. I know it is something they are working on."
"There aren't so many third-party vendor platforms natively integrated with the platform."
"I think there is some MSSP missing."
"It can have more integration with orchestration or event management solutions. They can provide more knowledge or research information for analysts for investigating cases and detecting anomalies in networks."
"It's quite expensive to have."
"It could build in integrations for some complementary products, but it has an assistant plugin so this is not really a big deal."
"Darktrace could expand into EDR (endpoint detection and response) and combine it with its network detection."
"In an upcoming release, there could be more customizable playbooks or a library of playbooks to choose from."
"In the future, I would like to see a hybrid option so that we can work both on-premises and in the cloud."
"I'd like to see more integration with other tools and technologies."
