“Easy-To-Use Platform Offers Robust Protection”

5.0
Feb 8, 2026
We have been using Darktrace for just about 2 months now, the platform has been brilliant so far and it was picking up things that our old provider was missing. We have a team of people from Darktrace that are helping us with training, issues and questions and so far they have been able to resolve everything. Our users haven't complained about the new service and it's now protecting the company more with the identity module and the dmarc module as well which all tie in together to fully protect the company. The platform itself is brilliant and so easy to use, the mobile app is one of the features that made us go with Darktrace as you can remediate issues straight away if needed as the AI will automatically block or lock users out if it thinks their account is doing something it doesn't usually do etc.

“Harnessing Darktrace's Power: Unmasking the Strengths and Weaknesses”

3.0
Apr 30, 2024
The organization had a Darktrace demo a year before I joined, in which the appliance learned about the environment. Initial experience with support was excellent as Darktrace Sales Team were keen to close deal. The actual technology has brought fantastic value in terms of insight and protection of logical network and mail. However, overall technical support has waned since we have had the service.

Platform Mobile App AI modules Reporting Darktrace Support Training Security protection

Like

Darktrace Mail, Threat Visualizer and SaaS Platform have been invaluable and critical to the protection of our business. The ability for the service/appliance to take autonomous actions based on models off the patterns it has learned and what I have set is critical to running our department.

Like

The standout strenghts of Darktrace MAIL are its precise AI-driven detection, its ability to uncover subtle anomalies, and its clear, actionable insights. These fwatures meaningfully reduce manual effort and enhance our overall email security.

Dislike

For support tickets we have to chase the team we are working with sometimes

Dislike

Technical support can only be contacted through the Support Portal. It is nigh impossible to reach someone by phone. In the last two years, issues are rarely 100% resolved by Darktrace.

Dislike

Occasional false positives, time needed for the sytem to fully adapt to all user workflows and the reports could alse be more customizable are the main areas for improvement.

    Feb 27, 2026
    Regarding my experience using the DT-EMAIL product, it has been very good. It has been a great ally against fraudulent emails. Since we acquired the produt, the number of threats has drastically reduced. Based on the information I collect from the application, it has been quite useful in identifying at-risk users and carrying out target awareness programs.

    Darktrace Email Security Shows Enhanced Filtering Over Traditional Gateways In Trial and Practice

    5.0
    Dec 9, 2025
    I was exploring options to replace an email security gateway that was not up to standard. As we already use Darktrace/Network, reached out to POC their Email offering. Set it up for 90 days as a failsafe secondary ESG and it caught hundreds of emails the other ESG let through. The filtering method is far superior to more static ESGs.
