Find out what your peers are saying about Darktrace, Vectra AI, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS)."I think their fingerprints are good in terms of how they whitelist and blacklist."
"It has aligned the features in accordance to our strategic needs"
"This solution has helped improve productivity and detect attacks before they happen."
"The most valuable features are the intrusion detection ones."
"I like how NGIPS has everything in one console."
"This is a stable solution."
"The integration with the Cisco portfolio is very helpful."
"The IPS functionality is useful if you have offices all over the place. It's nice to have centralized management instead of going to a separate ASA or FirePOWER device."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The most valuable feature is its simplicity."
"It has room for improvement when it comes to integrating machine learning and AI into it where even if you don't have a baseline that is of length for anomaly detection, it could do more like an AI style machine learning. It learns on its own."
"The stability of the user console and some features could be easier to access."
"The price could be improved."
"The solution should contain the sandbox features which we find in Check Point."
"The attack patterns and payloads go undetected in Cisco. We would like to see a new solution with more effective detection of attack patterns. There should be more data analyzing patterns as well which provides useful information."
"Cisco can do better on their documentation because the product is really hard to understand."
"The price of Cisco NGIPS could improve."
"Should include additional security features."
"I'd like to see more integration with other tools and technologies."
"In the future, I would like to see a hybrid option so that we can work both on-premises and in the cloud."
