We performed a comparison between Blue Hexagon and Darktrace based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Darktrace, Vectra AI, Cisco and others in Network Detection and Response (NDR)."They can provide you very contextual alerts on if something bad is happening—coming into your network or going out of your network. As part of that, they gather a lot of threat intelligence and map your connections against that. The larger benefit is that they give you a risk rating on their findings."
"It is a very simple product to use."
"Darktrace is very useful for us because it has a large number of models for detecting threats."
"The solution can scale."
"Provides great network protection."
"The most valuable feature is that it works autonomously."
"Its most valuable feature is its ability to identify malicious connected IPs from outside and the attacks that get through to the inside."
"The most valuable feature is that it gives us visibility of rogue traffic that is on the network."
"The platform has many modules, and each module examines a different situation in the behavior."
"My challenge is actually comparing offerings from different vendors across a threat spectrum that is very large. We are talking about millions of threats. How are you confident that Blue Hexagon is catching all one million of them and Palo Alto is doing the same thing? They all have their strengths. Within that, Blue Hexagon might cover 990,000 of them. Palo Alto might cover another 990,000. It's a bit difficult to compare them and say, "Oh, are they catching the same 990,000?" I don't know."
"The user interface and the configuration are a bit complex and should be improved or simplified."
"The initial setup is more complex and time-consuming than some solutions."
"I did not use the AI features because they should make it more user-friendly which would be a benefit. Additionally, the solution could integrate with more SIEM or SOAR tools."
"Darktrace does not have any capabilities to configure."
"Needs to improve its collaboration with local partners."
"It would be useful if there was a way to check to see if there are certain devices that are not in sync with the solution. I'm not sure if this is an option or not."
"Darkforce could be improved in the range of the interface; how to interact with the actions it's taking or not taking."
"There aren't so many third-party vendor platforms natively integrated with the platform."
