Find out what your peers are saying about Darktrace, Vectra AI, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS)."The most valuable feature of Cisco Cognitive Threat Analytics is its reliability."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are its full capabilities. You have visibility of everything."
"I have found the most valuable features to be artificial intelligence for cybersecurity, advanced machine learning capabilities, enterprise Immune System, Antigena Network, and Antigena Email. The way the solution detects the threat over the network before it spreads is very good. It notifies you of what the threat is exactly doing and gives you all the details about the execution of that application that had created the threat over your network."
"Provides great network protection."
"One thing I appreciate is Antigena Email, which is for email protection."
"I find it very good in the way that they show the past events, including the attack history."
"The solution is stable. We've never had any problems with it."
"AI analytics are built directly into the product."
"The active threat dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"Cisco Cognitive Threat Analytics could improve by having quicker detection and response and web analysis."
"It would be helpful if they could recognize incidents and simplify the customer's challenge to identify what is happening."
"They just need to make it a little bit more accurate as far as their alerts are concerned. It does generate some false positives that you have to tune. You have to do a lot of tuning when you first get it because of the false positives, but once it is all tuned up and ready to go, it will do its thing from there."
"The initial setup is more complex and time-consuming than some solutions."
"Although we haven't detected any network threats since implementing Darktrace, we are unsure of its efficacy. It would be beneficial if the solution could offer additional details to the user regarding any potential or prevented threats. Additionally, there could be better search tools and integration."
"It takes time to go through the interface and pick up things. If it were a more straightforward interface, then it would free up time."
"I was under impression that Darktrace's automatic blocking would be an out-of-the-box feature, but we had to integrate it with our firewall to get it to block automatically. The salesperson should be upfront and explain that you need to integrate it with your network. I would also like to see more reporting on risk. Banks in my region want to see at a glance the risk level of various assets."
"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."
"Getting logs from different sources can be a challenge."
