We performed a comparison between Darktrace and Palo Alto Networks Advanced Threat Prevention 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."One thing I appreciate is Antigena Email, which is for email protection."
"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."
"It is a very simple product to use."
"The solution can scale."
"We liked their approach to identifying intrusions or network anomalies using AI."
"The most valuable feature is that it gives us visibility of rogue traffic that is on the network."
"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."
"Its most valuable feature is its ability to identify malicious connected IPs from outside and the attacks that get through to the inside."
"Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention is the market leader as far as security gateways and endpoint protection. Additionally, the threat database that is used is one of the best."
"The stability of Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention is good."
"The most valuable features are that it's user-friendly, has interesting features, URL filtering, and threat prevention."
"I like the solution's interface."
"It is a stable product."
"The user interface is a bit more professional than some free products."
"Edge protection is a valuable feature."
"Everything has been okay with the solution. We are using all of the features."
"The dashboard and reporting for this solution could be improved as it is currently complex. The GUI for this solution could also be improved."
"In terms of improvements, fine-tuning is the area where we have to spend some time because it works on unsupervised machine learning. It would be good if they can improve their algorithm or technical functionality to reduce the fine-tuning effort. They can also come up with something at the endpoint level. So far, Darktrace has been a network detection response (NDR) solution. It does not offer much at the endpoint level or on user-client devices or servers. There should be more visibility at the endpoint level. It would be good to have the detection and response at the endpoint level by Darktrace. It should also have integration with an agile environment so that we can have continuous development and continuous integration in the application development environment. This is currently not there. It should also have internet-facing platform visibility, which is currently missing. They also need to improve the reporting and management dashboards. Currently, these are not so easy for a non-technical person. All these features would make Darktrace much better, and they would also be helpful in selling more solutions."
"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."
"There aren't so many third-party vendor platforms natively integrated with the platform."
"The pricing is a bit high for the region."
"It could build in integrations for some complementary products, but it has an assistant plugin so this is not really a big deal."
"Upper management wasn't sold on the value proposition."
"It would be good if they can include some endpoint protection for remote workers. Nowadays, most people are working remotely. Therefore, they should include some type of sensors that can be installed on the endpoint in order to directly report the main usage and protect remotely. Phone protection will also be a great feature to add to Darktrace."
"The application’s pricing and dashboard need improvement. It could be user-friendly."
"The cost involves the price of the hardware, which is expensive. However, most of the Palo Alto solutions are expensive."
"Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention could improve the commercial offing. Other solutions, such as Fortinet provide better commercial features."
"The documentation needs to be improved. I need better information about how to configure it and what the best practices are."
"The organization mail security solutions could be improved. There is no mail security solution available."
"I think they can use some improvement on FID."
"Sometimes when you want to group a set of ports, and communicate with Palo Alto, you cannot group TCP and UDP ports together. This needs to be adjusted."
"The price of licenses should be lowered to make it less costly to scale our solution."
