“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”

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

What I like most about the product. The relevanche of the analysis to block only necessary messages. The different types of blocks so as not to penalize users or darktrace administration teams. Last but not least, the detailed and understandable explanations to explain the reasons for blocks.

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

What I like least about the product. The solution is quite expensive and not accessible to all companies. The product is primarily in English, which can be a hindrance to some users. Finally, the level of configuration can be so detailed that it's best ti seek help from support.

    I really like Darktrace Email product for several reasons. First of all, the sales approach, which allows you to test the product for free in a production environment. But also the support in setting up and using it. And finally, the customer support throughout the contract to check that everything is going well.

    Darktrace/ Email has truly lived up to its promise. Since its deployment, we have seen more than 99% protections against phishing and malicious links. It has allowed us to focus on other aspects of security.

    I've been with Darktrace since early 2019 and overall, the experience has been positive. I've grown the install from just Network to add in eMail and most recently Identity.

    I've had the opportunity to work with several email security solutions, among them Darktrace is much ahead and superior. The AI that comes with Darktrace is very powerful and works brilliantly in identifying email threats. If I was asked to compare it to other tools, Darktrace is in a league of its own.
