We performed a comparison between Darktrace and Splunk User Behavior Analytics 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 main valuable feature is that we don't need a lot of analysts. With few analysts, we have all the network monitored, 24/7."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are the tracing of unusual external emails and monitoring the local network."
"The most valuable feature has been the behavioral analytics that allows us to monitor all the traffic."
"Darktrace's most valuable features are that it understands the network environment and is able to trace the traffic and alert on anomalies."
"One thing I appreciate is Antigena Email, which is for email protection."
"Darktrace is extremely stable."
"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 most valuable feature of Darktrace and the most valuable feature is the artificial intelligence module because that is the tool that determines automatically if there is any risk or not in the network."
"Because of some of the visualizations that we utilize, we are able to understand strange, unusual traffic on our networks."
"We are really pleased with Splunk and its features. It would be practically impossible to function without it. To provide a general overview of the system, it's important to note that the standard log files are currently around 250 gigabytes per day. It would be impossible to manually walk through these logs by hand, which is why automation is essential."
"It's straightforward in terms of configuration and troubleshooting and log management and monitoring as well. These are the edge points in addition to it being a modular solution where you can capitalize on your current licenses with extra licensing models, which can match the customer's business requirement and it can help the customer to design or to actually plan for their own roadmap."
"The most valuable feature is being able to take data and put it into other systems so that we could see the output, and to see where we need to apply our focus."
"The solution appears to be stable, although we haven't used it heavily."
"This intelligent user behavior analytics package is easy to configure and use while remaining feature filled."
"The most valuable features are the indexing and powerful search features."
"It's easily scalable."
"Needs to improve its collaboration with local partners."
"I would like to see some additional enhancements."
"The dashboard and reporting for this solution could be improved as it is currently complex. The GUI for this solution could also be improved."
"Darktrace requires numerous configurations. It would be beneficial if the configuration could be made simpler."
"The initial setup is more complex and time-consuming than some solutions."
"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."
"Darktrace could improve by being more user-friendly."
"I think there is some MSSP missing."
"They should work to add more built-in correlation searches and more use cases based on worldwide customer experiences. They need more ready-made use cases."
"Currently, a lot of network operations need improvement. We still need people to handle incidents. Our vision is to leverage status and convert it directly from the network devices. It would be ideal if we could take action using APIs and API code and remove manual processes."
"The correlation engine should have persistent and definable rules."
"In the future I would like to see simplified statistics and analytical threats."
"The solution is much more expensive than relative competitors like ArcSight or LogRhythm. It makes it hard to sell to customers sometimes."
"The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need."
"The price of Splunk UBA is too high."
"I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions."
