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 most valuable feature is the alerts. The alerts are meaningful. The event rolls up into meaningful and actionable alerts rather than just being noise."
"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."
"The product offers us a very good user interface and we've found the network visibility to be very good so far."
"I like the dashboards, which are cool. They are more user-friendly, in my experience. Its learning capabilities are really good."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are the tracing of unusual external emails and monitoring the local network."
"I find it very good in the way that they show the past events, including the attack history."
"Its most valuable feature is its ability to identify malicious connected IPs from outside and the attacks that get through to the inside."
"It is a stable solution without downtime."
"I like the solution's interface."
"We are currently using the URL filtering feature, which is the most popular."
"It's very easy to use and configure. What is nice about Palo Alto is that even if you don't understand how to use it, you can just click on upload and upload everything that needs to be blocked."
"You can scale the product."
"The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Threat Prevention for our company is the next generation firewall."
"Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention is the market leader as far as security gateways and endpoint protection. Additionally, the threat database that is used is one of the best."

"For those who want a next-gen firewall that's easy to configure and easy to operate, I think you should go for Palo Alto."
"Its documentation is not up to the mark. At times, I have a lot of trouble finding a solution. Even when I posted questions on the community chats, it took a lot of time for me to get answers. That's something that can be improved. Darktrace can focus on creating a more interactive community. If there are more people from Darktrace to focus on community chats, it would be better."
"I would like to see some additional enhancements."
"Darkforce could be improved in the range of the interface; how to interact with the actions it's taking or not taking."

"It could build in integrations for some complementary products, but it has an assistant plugin so this is not really a big deal."
"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 main portal needs improvement as it is difficult to use."
"I think they can use some improvement on FID."
"The application’s pricing and dashboard need improvement. It could be user-friendly."
"The price of licenses should be lowered to make it less costly to scale our solution."
