We performed a comparison between Blue Hexagon and Darktrace based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Darktrace, Vectra AI, Cisco and others in Network Detection and Response (NDR)."They can provide you very contextual alerts on if something bad is happening—coming into your network or going out of your network. As part of that, they gather a lot of threat intelligence and map your connections against that. The larger benefit is that they give you a risk rating on their findings."
"We are able to detect a lot of things, actually, and see what is happening in our network."
"The solution is outstanding from a monitoring perspective."
"The product offers us a very good user interface and we've found the network visibility to be very good so far."
"I like the Antigena feature in Darktrace, as it offers immediate response and is helpful."
"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 the alerts. The alerts are meaningful. The event rolls up into meaningful and actionable alerts rather than just being noise."
"We have found the product to be stable and issue-free."
"I like the dashboards, which are cool. They are more user-friendly, in my experience. Its learning capabilities are really good."
"My challenge is actually comparing offerings from different vendors across a threat spectrum that is very large. We are talking about millions of threats. How are you confident that Blue Hexagon is catching all one million of them and Palo Alto is doing the same thing? They all have their strengths. Within that, Blue Hexagon might cover 990,000 of them. Palo Alto might cover another 990,000. It's a bit difficult to compare them and say, "Oh, are they catching the same 990,000?" I don't know."
"The program is quite expensive."
"Darktrace could expand into EDR (endpoint detection and response) and combine it with its network detection."
"This is quite an expensive product so the pricing is something that can be improved."
"I think there is some MSSP missing."
"I would like to see a feature where the tool ingests information from an anti-malware product that is present at the endpoint."
"The price point for the product was too high for what our possible use case could be."
"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."
