We performed a comparison between Darktrace and Palo Alto Networks Advanced Threat Prevention 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 gives us visibility of rogue traffic that is on the network."
"The most valuable feature of Darktrace is the AI that detects abnormal network activity."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are the tracing of unusual external emails and monitoring the local network."
"A very useful feature in Darktrace for real-time threat analysis is the packet inspection that analyzes the packet traffic in real time."
"Its most valuable feature is its ability to identify malicious connected IPs from outside and the attacks that get through to the inside."
"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 product can scale."
"The sandboxing tools offer great prevention for cloud feeds."
"Edge protection is a valuable feature."
"You can scale the product."
"With the IP address flag, I was able to see that I was being hacked. The moment there was an interaction between somebody on my network and that IP, the solution was able to flag it, and we were able to protect ourselves."
"I like the solution's interface."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's quite easy. Deployment took one to two weeks."
"The stability of Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention is good."
"It is a stable product."
"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."
"It takes time to go through the interface and pick up things. If it were a more straightforward interface, then it would free up time."
"The main portal needs improvement as it is difficult to use."
"There is a high ratio of false positive information."
"The product doesn't have an endpoint agent that can react to triggers set on the device,"
"It could build in integrations for some complementary products, but it has an assistant plugin so this is not really a big deal."
"I would like for the product to work on the endpoints as well. I would like to see enhanced visibility into the endpoints and network but this solution only sits on the network itself."
"I'd love them to see maybe covering the cloud a bit more."
"I think they can use some improvement on FID."
"It's not so easy to set up a test environment, because it's not so easy to get the test license. The vendor only gives you 90 days for a test license; it's a tough license to get."
"In Africa, the technical support is probably not as good as in Europe and the USA because it's a specific premium support, partner-enabled premium support and all of that. But it's really good, I don't really have any complaints, it's fairly good. I'll give them 80%."
"The solution needs to improve its local technical support services. There is no premium support offered in our market."
"Right now we are focusing on email. If Palo Alto can increase the features related to email filtering and the new malware, it would help us protect our systems."
"Mission learning techniques should continue to expand and detect unknown threats on the fly."
"The technology firewall anomaly network could stand improvement."
"Sometimes when you want to group a set of ports, and communicate with Palo Alto, you cannot group TCP and UDP ports together. This needs to be adjusted."
