Darktrace / NETWORK Reviews & Product Details

What I appreciate most about Darktrace/Network is its self-learning AI technology that continuously adapts to our network environment without requiring extensive manual configuration. The platform's ability to detect subtle anomalies and previously unknown threats is exceptional - it identifies attack patterns that traditional signature-based solutions completely miss.

The Threat Visualizer interface is incredibly intuitive, providing clear visual representations of network activity and threat progression that make complex security incidents easy to understand and communicate to stakeholders. The autonomous response capabilities are particularly impressive, allowing the system to take immediate action to contain threats while maintaining business continuity.

I also value the comprehensive network visibility it provides, giving us insights into device behavior, user activities, and data flows that were previously invisible. The real-time monitoring and alerting system has significantly reduced our incident response time and improved our overall security posture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main challenge I've encountered is the initial learning period, where the AI system generates numerous alerts while it's still understanding our network's normal behavior patterns. This requires significant time investment from our security team to properly tune and validate alerts during the first few months of deployment.

The pricing structure can be quite expensive, especially for smaller organizations or those with limited security budgets. The cost increases significantly when scaling across multiple network segments or adding advanced features.

Sometimes the AI's decision-making process can be opaque, making it difficult to understand why certain actions were taken or alerts were generated. This "black box" aspect can be concerning when you need to provide detailed explanations for security incidents to compliance teams or executives. Additionally, the platform occasionally generates false positives that require manual investigation and tuning to prevent future occurrences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The automatic blocking is a big win — it reacts fast and usually gets it right without needing manual intervention.

Device tracking is solid — gives a clear view of what’s happening on the network and makes it easy to spot anomalies.

Visibility is impressive — it really feels like it sees everything, which gives a lot of confidence in coverage.

Overall, it's been a strong addition to our security stack. Set-and-forget most of the time, but with the depth when you need to dig in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it misclassifies devices, especially when IPs shift — can be a pain to untangle when one device gets tied to the wrong activity.

There’s a fair bit of noise, especially early on while the AI is still learning — takes a little time to settle and reduce alert fatigue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Realtime monitoring and response to any network threats. The Cyber AI Analyst investigates threats (including potential threats), automatically triages, interprets, and reports on the full scope of security incidents. Customer support is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Initial learning curve when first implementing Darktrace. The many features and all very complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cuts us off the moment something goes wrong Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very rarely there are false positives and we need to get IT to bring us back online Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the fact that it's AI driven and self learning. That takes a load off my shoulders as the security officer with limited staff. It's like having persons sitting right here in the office. Implementation was a breeze - handled by the darktrace team who are very knowledgable. I use this every day in my role and it helps alert me to things on my network that i or no other solution could catch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a bit complicated to use. While it looks really cool, you definitely need alot of training to get familiar with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to implement, despite the power and complexity of the solution once it is up and running. Outstanding user interface, it needs a bit of training to get used to but once mastered it is a really powerful tool, even fun to use. Market leader in terms of features, implements a lot of new technology and is in constant evolution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Price is above average if compared to similar solutions. The approach is very distinctive and this reflects in a certain grade of complexity: definitely needs training and time to get confident with the interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can see what is happening on the network without needing to use network tracing tools in real time and historically Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI can be daunting (although a little flashy in places) and can confuse what is actually going on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Darktrace's standout feature is its autonomous cyber AI. Its ability to detect and respond to evolving cyber threats in real-time, using machine learning and AI algorithms, sets it apart. The adaptive nature of Darktrace makes it a powerful tool for proactive cybersecurity in dynamic network environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Darktrace's complexity and initial setup may pose challenges. Additionally, there could be a learning curve for users unfamiliar with advanced cybersecurity concepts, impacting the ease of adoption for some organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazing dashboards to clearly view of Network traffic in and out flow through out the devices and internet. Support most of the network source devices to bind with the darktrace engine. Real time detection and mitigation capability is quite faster. Implementation is easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customer support services can improved under standard plan itself, Product is quite expensive, Integrations have sort of limitation around the supported products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to deploy and can be integrated with any type of log sources. Its capability of detecting threats and suspicious packets in the network is outstanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customer support services can be improved, Need advanced training to manage the darktrace admin portal. Doesnt have data centre in india location. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
