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."This is a very stable product."
"I can generate reports for management automatically based on the threats of the last day/week/whatever is needed."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point IPS is the management of devices and policies."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its detection panel. Managing and updating policies within Check Point IPS is easy and without issues. It provides a secure network."
"Check Point IPS manages risk categories very well and accordingly helps us protect each of our devices in real-time."
"Overall, it give me a lot of insight into my network that I didn't have before."
"The reports are useful in helping to verify the threats where we can see the level of severity in order to be able to take action."
"What I like best about Check Point IPS is that it can prevent attacks. I also like that it has a log feature."
"The most valuable feature is that it works autonomously."
"The solution can scale."
"It is autonomous. So, it learns. It uses algorithms and AI to learn the common behavioral patterns on the network, and it is able to identify threats based on abnormal patterns."
"Artificial intelligence and machine learning functionalities are valuable."
"We are able to detect a lot of things, actually, and see what is happening in our network."
"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 ability to see what we have not seen before is most valuable. It is very interesting to find out the most vulnerable devices in our network."
"The active threat dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"When exceptions need to be done for certain profiles, it is easy to get them done, however, implementation on some general ones may cause some extra work as the IPS is not easy to overwrite."
"The hardware-based version of Check Point IPS could be more scalable. Right now, it's not scalable."
"The dashboard reports can be easier to generate and customize."
"There is a performance impact on the NGFW post-enabling the IPS blade/Module, which can even lead to downtime if IPS starts to monitor or block high-volume traffic."
"It is generally good, but improving the performance would be the one thing I'd take a look at right now."
"The installation documentation has room for improvement."
"The service that we want to see in the future is a capacity to segment the IPS services by equipment."
"Check Point IPS' main problem is it is mostly software based. The performance is dependent on the CPU power, and the limited number of patterns."
"Getting logs from different sources can be a challenge."
"The cost is a bit on the higher side."
"This product needs more in terms of prevention. The detection capabilities work well but once a threat has been detected, Darktrace should work to prevent it from doing anything malicious."
"The program is quite expensive."
"This is quite an expensive product so the pricing is something that can be improved."
"Although we haven't detected any network threats since implementing Darktrace, we are unsure of its efficacy. It would be beneficial if the solution could offer additional details to the user regarding any potential or prevented threats. Additionally, there could be better search tools and integration."
"The level of tracking within the network from the transmission level up to the machine level can use improvement."
"Needs to improve its collaboration with local partners."
