We performed a comparison between Darktrace and Trend Micro Deep Discovery 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."The active threat dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The most valuable feature is that it gives us visibility of rogue traffic that is on the network."
"It is very easy to work with Darktrace once you know how it works and the type of permissions that you need to get related to the security over a network. The interface is awesome. I'm sure that you have seen Ironman, and you know Jarvis, the computer of Tony Stark. The interface of Darktrace is very similar, and you can see in 3D, like a hologram, the whole network, traffic, and all the traces inside the network. The interface is awesome, and it provides a lot of information. At least for us, it is very easy to handle this interface, get the reports, and do the interpretation of those reports. Darktrace also provides mobile monitoring. With an app on your mobile phone, you can view the information live, which is very useful for area directors and field engineers. Darktrace can be also correlated with any type of big data solution, such as Splunk."
"A simple, powerful AI solution that just does all the work for you when you turn it on."
"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."
"The solution is stable. We've never had any problems with it."
"A very useful feature in Darktrace for real-time threat analysis is the packet inspection that analyzes the packet traffic in real time."
"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."
"It is a very good solution. It is very light, and it is quite quick to figure out the problem in your network."
"As a security product, managing threats is crucial for my clients."
"The most valuable features are the protection and that it is fast."
"One of the most valuable features is the performance, since, so far, we have not faced any issues with Deep Discovery."
"The most valuable features are monitoring for advanced persistent threats, the system runs in a sandbox allowing for effective zero-day exploits management, and the Inspector has a built-in sandbox."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its collaboration with other products. Integrating with other security products was simple and easy."
"Initial setup is easy. It can be done by yourself."
"The most valuable feature is that the user can customize images of virtual machines in the sandbox functionality. The other vendors only use images that were created by the vendor but not the customer, end-user or partner. This helps to detect advanced threats and attacks."
"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."
"Darkforce could be improved in the range of the interface; how to interact with the actions it's taking or not taking."
"The pricing is a bit high for the region."
"I would like for the product to work on the endpoints as well. I would like to see enhanced visibility into the endpoints and network but this solution only sits on the network itself."
"It would be helpful if they could recognize incidents and simplify the customer's challenge to identify what is happening."
"There is a high ratio of false positive information."
"The initial setup is more complex and time-consuming than some solutions."
"The solution needs improvement in terms of pricing."
"There are certain aspects of flexibility in the policies that should be added to Deep Discovery."
"The scalability is sometimes limited."
"I would like the ability to analyze all files in our internal network, at the same time on different operating systems. Not just three of them, but as many as possible."
"Deep Discovery is easy to manage, but there is still room for improvement on the administration and operations side. Competing products have a cleaner interface that makes it easier to manage their products. Trend Micro offers a lot of features in one product suite, but it can be unwieldy for the customer to manage all that with a single interface."
"The product's security features need enhancement."
"The solution could be more stable and offer more security."
"Some of the end users may not be technically proficient, so they occasionally face problems due to a lack of knowledge."
