We performed a comparison between Darktrace and Palo Alto Networks URL Filtering with PAN-DB 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."I have found the automation and AI features to be valuable. If someone were to come in to the office at midnight and log in, Darktrace would flag it."
"We liked their approach to identifying intrusions or network anomalies using AI."
"One thing I appreciate is Antigena Email, which is for email protection."
"We are able to detect a lot of things, actually, and see what is happening in our network."
"The NDR is good in their solution and they have NTG for email."
"The Antigena feature is most valuable. Once it learns your environment, Antigena can step in and block a denial of service attack, a ransomware attack, or just about anything that doesn't belong in the environment. It can detect any type of attack that hits the environment because it understands what normal looks like for the network. It is very useful for an autonomous response."
"The most valuable feature of Darktrace is the AI that detects abnormal network activity."
"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."
"It's allowed us to have better visibility and protection from threats."
"The most valuable feature is that the product can do everything in a single device, including the firewall, rules, and the PBL. It also has good routing and switching."
"The tool blocks URLs."
"Prohibited URLs can be listed by category."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The Palo Alto solution has improved our organization by providing threat protection across a variety of internet connections. Our company also gets valuable insights regarding threat analysis."
"Palo Alto Networks URL Filtering with PAN-DB is easy to use, easy to operate, and easy to edit."
"Being able to manage blacklists and whitelists easily is very useful, especially for internal access and limiting outbound access."
"One thing that I would like to look at going forward is to have a fully automated network infrastructure that is monitored automatically real-time, and that gives me this kind of capability where I would be able to look at my network at any given time and see the state of my network. With Darktrace, at the moment, I have to almost put in a date and tell them that want you to give me data from this date to this date. I don't want that. I want a fast solution in which it doesn't matter when I log into the application. Whenever I log in, I must be able to see my network and run a report. In other words, if I go in now and I say, "Give me a full report of what happened today, it must be able to give me that. It mustn't just be limited to a seven-day period, for argument's sake. It must be able to give me real-time and day-to-day tracking of what has happened within my network."
"The pricing is a bit high for the region."
"One thing I would like is for Darktrace to flag SMB traffic more accurately. Currently, it only flags that SMB traffic has occurred, but it doesn't specify which file was being transferred. This makes it difficult to investigate incidents involving SMB traffic, as we don't have concrete evidence of what was being sent."
"The dashboard and reporting for this solution could be improved as it is currently complex. The GUI for this solution could also be improved."
"It is expensive, but everything else has been great so far."
"Darktrace does not have any capabilities to configure."
"The solution would benefit from automation. Currently, you have to know what you are searching for."
"The main portal needs improvement as it is difficult to use."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"For hosting sites like Blogspot, they host sites that should be in different categories, but get lumped together in general. There needs to be more granularity or multiple categorizations."
"We have had some challenges with making Palo Alto Networks URL Filtering with PAN-DB work with ELK stack."
"It is an expensive solution and not everyone has the budget for it."
"One way Palo Alto can improve is by offering sandboxing. I don't know if they currently offer a sandboxing feature together with the firewall or not. They should provide secure sandboxing with the firewalls."
"An area for improvement would be the technical support, which can be slow."
"Support needs to be enhanced."
"Performance monitoring could use improvement."
