“Network Security Enhanced by Automated Responses but Requires Alert Tuning”

3.0
Sep 17, 2025
Darktrace is a helpful tool for network monitoring and threat detection. Its A.I. is good at spotting unusual activity and it gives clear dashboards to understand what's happening in your network. Automated responses can stop threats fairly quickly, but sometimes the alerts can feel overwhelming and need adjusting. It's a strong choice overall for boosting security at the network layer.

Like

The use of the threat model and CyberAI Analyst is an amazing resource for triaging and organising the approach to incidents that arise. The AI Analyst is great at collating incidents that appear to be related to stress an area of focus. The AI Analyst in combination with the automated response feature means that there is less stress on the team managing and correlating all the incidents together and initiating the initial response against the potential threat. The overall workflow within the tooling from AI investigations to model alerts with the ability to easily investigate further with the Advanced Search and the Omni-search bar really simplifies the investigation process. Editing and adding defeats to models to reduce the number of false positives is straightforward and the support team is directly available to offer support, direction and review with the management of these types of actions.

Like

Some Strengths: 1. Clear Dashboards - Easy to see what's happening across the system. 2. Quick Automated Response - Can act on threats without supervisory from admins. 3. Smart A.I. Detection - Learns your network and finds anomalies. 4. Covers Multiple Infrastructure Types - Works with cloud, on-premises, and IoT.

Like

what i like most about the product is the level of visbility it provides across the networks. Darktrace delivers extremely detailed insights and presents them in a very visual and intuitivr way, makin it easier to understand what is happening in real time and make decisions. One of the standout features i appreciate is Darktrace's autonomous response capability (Antigena). It ability to take real-time, proportionate actions to contain suspicious activity - wihtout disrupting normal operations- is a major advantage and clearly differentiates the product from traditional monitoring tools.

Dislike

Whilst there is a breadth of integrations available, there are some areas that could be made with how they interact and provide information. The lack of scalable incident categorisation into Jira is a good example of this, unfortunately you can only set this to 1 rating, and then manually have to update this across into Jira. The platform could do with some additional tools, or the ability to add extra tools similar to how the VirusTotal and Whois links are setup. This would make it easier for teams to access the different sources all from one screen and reduce the amount of time moving through the different sources. There are some system alerts that can be vague about what issue the system is experiencing, this can slow down the remediation process for these alerts due to needing to raise support tickets for further clarification where required.

Dislike

Improvement Needed: 1. Too Many Alerts - Sometime flags normal activity, so tailoring to your team's needs is required

Dislike

what i dislike the most is that amount of information darktrace provides can sometime feel overwhelming, especially during the initial learning phase.

    Autonomous Response And Visual Insights Elevate Darktrace Network Security Experience

    4.0
    Dec 1, 2025
    My overall experience with Darktrace/Network was very positive. When i tested it, i found it to be a very powerful solution that provides deep visibility and presents information in a highly visual and intuitive way. At time, the amount of data it offers can feel overwhelming, and it does require some time to learn your environment and fine-tune it detections. However, once it is adapted to the network’s behavior, it offers a significant leap in the ability to identify unusual activities. It is true that the price is not low, but i really believe the value it delivers can make it worthwhile, especially when extended to OT environments. During the POV, we discovered some interesting things thanks to the solution in the OT network of a client. In our case the project ultimately did not move forward due to cost constraints, but i still think the tool would have provided strong visibility and strengthened the security insights of the company.

    Balancing AI innovation and usibility: a CIO's take on Darktrace

    5.0
    Sep 1, 2025
    As the person who negotiated, installed and now administers Darktrace in our company, I've had a front row seat to its capabilities. From day one, it impressed me with how quickly it integrated invisibly into our environment and began delivering insights. The AI-driven detection is genuinely intelligent in an environment where humans are often the weakest link, it doesn't just flag threats, it understands and adapts to our people and network behaviour.

    The team was very responsive and easy to work with. THey took the time to really understand our business and what we needed. Even though none of us are particularly tech-savvy, we never felt talked down to or pressured into decisions. It's a rare experience when dealing with tech vendors, and it made the whole process much more comfortable and productive.
