We performed a comparison between Check Point IPS 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 Check Point IPS module allows me granularity in creating rules."
"The autonomous threat prevention is very easy to use. The APIs and SmartConsole tool also work well."
"The most valuable feature is that it protects us against hundreds of different attack vectors, like ransomware. The protection is always being triggered. People try to access websites that are categorized as malware, so when the users do a DNS request for the IP of those malware websites, the IPS Blade replaces the real IP of the website that is malware with a bogus IP. The user gets an IP that doesn't exist and when he tries to access, it won't work."
"It is also worth noting that many IPS signature comes with detailed background about the vulnerability, and potentially how the vulnerability would affect the network security."
"IPS easily allows follow-up flags on recently updated patterns. If, in rare cases, a false positive does occur, it is quickly detected and an exception can be easily created."
"There's an automatic update after every 2 hours which makes sure that the database is up to date and providing zero-day vulnerability protection."
"Real-time protection has blocked most threats that could affect system operations."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that the product's stability has been very good. The"
"A simple, powerful AI solution that just does all the work for you when you turn it on."
"It is a stable solution."
"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."
"A very useful feature in Darktrace for real-time threat analysis is the packet inspection that analyzes the packet traffic in real time."
"One thing I appreciate is Antigena Email, which is for email protection."
"It provides a comprehensive, detailed view of network activity and whatever is happening inside it."
"It is a stable solution without downtime."
"I like the Antigena feature in Darktrace, as it offers immediate response and is helpful."
"The cost is high."
"The price has room for improvement."
"This is an expensive solution, higher than other products on the market."
"I would like the product to provide us with intelligence to understand what we really have in our environment."
"When entering, it always takes a long time to load."
"It requires a lot of people to maintain the solution."
"There is no standalone IPS appliance available."
"Sometimes we had false positives where packages that were legitimate for us were blocked and we had to unblock them through exceptions."
"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 would like to see some additional enhancements."
"The user interface and the configuration are a bit complex and should be improved or simplified."
"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."
"I believe their network monitoring device licensing module could use some improvement."
"The cost is a bit on the higher side."
"The interface and dashboards could be improved for ease-of-use."
"In the next version, I'd like to see penetration testing."
