We performed a comparison between Darktrace and SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Traffic Analysis (NTA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature has been the behavioral analytics that allows us to monitor all the traffic."
"We are able to detect a lot of things, actually, and see what is happening in our network."
"I like the Antigena feature in Darktrace, as it offers immediate response and is helpful."
"The NDR is good in their solution and they have NTG for email."
"I am impressed with the product's ability to give insights into network traffic."
"I have found the most valuable features to be artificial intelligence for cybersecurity, advanced machine learning capabilities, enterprise Immune System, Antigena Network, and Antigena Email. The way the solution detects the threat over the network before it spreads is very good. It notifies you of what the threat is exactly doing and gives you all the details about the execution of that application that had created the threat over your network."
"A very useful feature in Darktrace for real-time threat analysis is the packet inspection that analyzes the packet traffic in real time."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The integration with other SolarWinds products is good."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its traffic analysis."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to look for any increases in bandwidth over time so that we can plan before it becomes critical."
"It helps us know when a branch is down because it has a graphic presentation of all the locations a node represents."
"The performance analysis is a valuable feature. With the performance analyzer, we can see the realtime monitoring, the realtime performance, and historical performance on specific components like virtualization storage, CPU, servers and network equipment."
"The most valuable feature is the alarm that is set up to trigger based on bandwidth utilization."
"This solution gives us important information about the utilization of protocols, particularly in terms of how often they are used."
"I like that it is able to monitor multiple devices and it's vendor-agnostic."
"The solution would benefit from automation. Currently, you have to know what you are searching for."
"There aren't so many third-party vendor platforms natively integrated with the platform."
"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."
"They just need to make it a little bit more accurate as far as their alerts are concerned. It does generate some false positives that you have to tune. You have to do a lot of tuning when you first get it because of the false positives, but once it is all tuned up and ready to go, it will do its thing from there."
"The dashboard and reporting for this solution could be improved as it is currently complex. The GUI for this solution could also be improved."
"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 needs improvement."
"It could build in integrations for some complementary products, but it has an assistant plugin so this is not really a big deal."
"It can be complex to set up and configure."
"I would like to see more artificial intelligence capabilities."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to the traffic generated by the analyzer and the analysis of that traffic."
"The problem is that SolarWinds is trying to bolt in too much and that can leave bugs, which you have to then sort out, leaving the product unstable. SolarWinds needs to try and slow down and improve the stability of the product, as opposed to bringing out more and more features."
"I would like to see more training videos and additional material for learning how to use this solution."
"They should work on the configuration of the Log Analyzer feature."
"Technical support could be improved with quicker response times."
"The price of the solution is a bit high for our clients. They should consider adjusting their price model."
