We performed a comparison between Darktrace and Palo Alto Networks Advanced Threat Prevention 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 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."
"We have found the product to be stable and issue-free."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are its full capabilities. You have visibility of everything."
"t was pretty as far as the granularity of what you were getting out of it."
"Ability to see events and exactly what traffic or website the device had tried to connect to that raised the alert or issue."
"The most valuable feature is that it works autonomously."
"Darktrace is very useful for us because it has a large number of models for detecting threats."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it does not require human intervention to eliminate a threat."
"Edge protection is a valuable feature."
"You can scale the product."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's quite easy. Deployment took one to two weeks."
"The sandboxing tools offer great prevention for cloud feeds."
"I like the solution's interface."
"The most valuable features are that it's user-friendly, has interesting features, URL filtering, and threat prevention."
"The most valuable features are the simplicity, transparency, and overall ease of management."
"The stability of Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention is good."
"In terms of improvements, fine-tuning is the area where we have to spend some time because it works on unsupervised machine learning. It would be good if they can improve their algorithm or technical functionality to reduce the fine-tuning effort. They can also come up with something at the endpoint level. So far, Darktrace has been a network detection response (NDR) solution. It does not offer much at the endpoint level or on user-client devices or servers. There should be more visibility at the endpoint level. It would be good to have the detection and response at the endpoint level by Darktrace. It should also have integration with an agile environment so that we can have continuous development and continuous integration in the application development environment. This is currently not there. It should also have internet-facing platform visibility, which is currently missing. They also need to improve the reporting and management dashboards. Currently, these are not so easy for a non-technical person. All these features would make Darktrace much better, and they would also be helpful in selling more solutions."
"It would be good if they can include some endpoint protection for remote workers. Nowadays, most people are working remotely. Therefore, they should include some type of sensors that can be installed on the endpoint in order to directly report the main usage and protect remotely. Phone protection will also be a great feature to add to Darktrace."
"The pricing model is a little too high and could be more flexible."
"Needs to improve its collaboration with local partners."
"It could build in integrations for some complementary products, but it has an assistant plugin so this is not really a big deal."
"This is quite an expensive product so the pricing is something that can be improved."
"Darktrace could improve its features, such as monitoring and detecting ransomware."
"The level of tracking within the network from the transmission level up to the machine level can use improvement."
"The price of licenses should be lowered to make it less costly to scale our solution."
"The initial setup is complex."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the only thing I don't like is the support."
"The solution needs to improve its local technical support services. There is no premium support offered in our market."
"In Africa, the technical support is probably not as good as in Europe and the USA because it's a specific premium support, partner-enabled premium support and all of that. But it's really good, I don't really have any complaints, it's fairly good. I'll give them 80%."
"Mission learning techniques should continue to expand and detect unknown threats on the fly."
"The organization mail security solutions could be improved. There is no mail security solution available."
"Sometimes when you want to group a set of ports, and communicate with Palo Alto, you cannot group TCP and UDP ports together. This needs to be adjusted."
