We performed a comparison between Check Point IPS and Darktrace 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."Check Point helps reduce downtime and costs associated with detected cyberattacks and can block those threats to ensure protection from any significant damage that may be caused within the organization."
"It is easy to configure."
"Among its great features is the ability to detect outgoing malware or extraction of compromised data and stop it, thus safeguarding us by isolating the network, the equipment, or the identity of the affected users."
"The integration is a valuable feature."
"There's an automatic update after every 2 hours which makes sure that the database is up to date and providing zero-day vulnerability protection."
"IPS easily allows follow-up flags on recently updated patterns. If, in rare cases, a false positive does occur, it is quickly detected and an exception can be easily created."
"User-friendly and easy to implement."
"Real-time protection has blocked most threats that could affect system operations."
"It's a very stable product."
"t was pretty as far as the granularity of what you were getting out of it."
"I am impressed with the product's ability to give insights into network traffic."
"The Dynamic Threat Dashboard is very nice, as it lists all of your threats and rates them, and then you can choose whether to investigate further."
"Ability to see events and exactly what traffic or website the device had tried to connect to that raised the alert or issue."
"The ability to see what we have not seen before is most valuable. It is very interesting to find out the most vulnerable devices in our network."
"I like the Antigena feature in Darktrace, as it offers immediate response and is helpful."
"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."
"It requires a lot of people to maintain the solution."
"When entering, it always takes a long time to load."
"Occasionally there are glitches and errors like false positives, which would be a nice area of this solution to improve upon."
"The cost is a bit high but it is worth it."
"There is no standalone IPS appliance available."
"Sometimes Check Point documentation is not always updated, which is why when some implementations change, it generates confusion about details."
"The installation documentation has room for improvement."
"In my opinion, the Check Point software engineers should works on the performance of the blade - when it is activated with the big number of the protections in place, the monitoring shows us the significant increase in the CPU utilization for the gateway appliances - up to 30 percents, even so we are cherry-picking only the profiles that we really needed."
"The user interface and the configuration are a bit complex and should be improved or simplified."
"Upper management wasn't sold on the value proposition."
"Its documentation is not up to the mark. At times, I have a lot of trouble finding a solution. Even when I posted questions on the community chats, it took a lot of time for me to get answers. That's something that can be improved. Darktrace can focus on creating a more interactive community. If there are more people from Darktrace to focus on community chats, it would be better."
"I would like to see more protection in the endpoint. Especially because we have a lot of people using VPNs. If they would improve end point security, it would give more control there."
"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."
"Darktrace could improve by being more user-friendly."
"Getting logs from different sources can be a challenge."
"The module can improve so that every time it's more intelligent."
