We performed a comparison between Darktrace and Palo Alto Networks URL Filtering with PAN-DB based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Darktrace, Vectra AI, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS)."AI analytics are built directly into the product."
"I find it very good in the way that they show the past events, including the attack history."
"The AI-based pattern is the most valuable feature."
"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 the solution's ability to trim out the false positives and point your attention to the real important stuff."
"In terms of features, the data or information they collect and unsupervised machine learning are very valuable. Its unsupervised machine learning has reduced our team's effort. Both Darktrace and Vectra work on unsupervised machine learning that learns the behavior or develops a profile on its own, which allows our security team to do some other tasks rather than spending time on Darktrace or Vectra. Because of unsupervised machine learning, its detection capability is quite good. Along with that, if we utilize the integration feature properly, the automated incident response capability of Darktrace is quite useful."
"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."
"The solution can scale."
"It's allowed us to have better visibility and protection from threats."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The Palo Alto solution has improved our organization by providing threat protection across a variety of internet connections. Our company also gets valuable insights regarding threat analysis."
"Prohibited URLs can be listed by category."
"Palo Alto Networks URL Filtering with PAN-DB is easy to use, easy to operate, and easy to edit."
"The most valuable feature is that the product can do everything in a single device, including the firewall, rules, and the PBL. It also has good routing and switching."
"Being able to manage blacklists and whitelists easily is very useful, especially for internal access and limiting outbound access."
"Darktrace could expand into EDR (endpoint detection and response) and combine it with its network detection."
"The price point for the product was too high for what our possible use case could be."
"The dashboard and reporting for this solution could be improved as it is currently complex. The GUI for this solution could also be improved."
"I'd love them to see maybe covering the cloud a bit more."
"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."
"The program is quite expensive."
"It's a very complex platform."
"I would like to see more protection in the endpoint. Especially because we have a lot of people using VPNs. If they would improve end point security, it would give more control there."
"One way Palo Alto can improve is by offering sandboxing. I don't know if they currently offer a sandboxing feature together with the firewall or not. They should provide secure sandboxing with the firewalls."
"We have had some challenges with making Palo Alto Networks URL Filtering with PAN-DB work with ELK stack."
"Performance monitoring could use improvement."
"For hosting sites like Blogspot, they host sites that should be in different categories, but get lumped together in general. There needs to be more granularity or multiple categorizations."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"It is an expensive solution and not everyone has the budget for it."
"An area for improvement would be the technical support, which can be slow."
