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."
"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."
"Darktrace is extremely stable."
"The most valuable feature is that it gives us visibility of rogue traffic that is on the network."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that it works autonomously."
"The most valuable feature is the solution's ability to trim out the false positives and point your attention to the real important stuff."
"The solution is outstanding from a monitoring perspective."
"The ability to detect activity on the network is very useful to us. Even if it's not necessarily an illegal activity, if it is abnormal activity, it is able to detect it and notify us."
"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 interface and dashboards could be improved for ease-of-use."
"It can have more integration with orchestration or event management solutions. They can provide more knowledge or research information for analysts for investigating cases and detecting anomalies in networks."
"The solution would benefit from automation. Currently, you have to know what you are searching for."
"Darktrace does not have any capabilities to configure."
"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."
"This product needs more in terms of prevention. The detection capabilities work well but once a threat has been detected, Darktrace should work to prevent it from doing anything malicious."
"Darktrace requires numerous configurations. It would be beneficial if the configuration could be made simpler."
"Upper management wasn't sold on the value proposition."
