AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- Users report that Darktrace/Detect excels in "Anomaly Detection" with a score of 9.2, highlighting its ability to identify unusual patterns in network traffic effectively. In contrast, Cortex XDR, while also strong, has a slightly lower score of 8.9, indicating that users find it less intuitive in this area.
- Reviewers mention that Cortex XDR shines in "Endpoint Intelligence" with a score of 8.9, providing robust insights into endpoint activities. Darktrace/Detect, however, has a lower score of 8.1 in "Device Control," suggesting that users feel it could improve in managing endpoint security.
- G2 users highlight that Darktrace/Detect's "Response Automation" feature is particularly effective, scoring 9.5, which allows for swift incident responses. Conversely, Cortex XDR's score of 9.0 in the same category indicates it is competent but may not match the speed and efficiency of Darktrace/Detect.
- Users on G2 report that Cortex XDR's "Firewall" capabilities are rated highly at 9.5, making it a preferred choice for users needing strong perimeter security. Darktrace/Detect, while effective, does not have a dedicated firewall feature, which some users find limiting.
- Reviewers mention that Darktrace/Detect's "Continuous Analysis" feature is a standout, with a score of 9.4, allowing for real-time monitoring and threat detection. Cortex XDR, with a score of 9.0, is effective but may not provide the same level of ongoing analysis as Darktrace/Detect.

The amount of information you can get from the system is intense. We have been able to get very detailed analyst of breaches to track down exactly what has happen and how they were able to get in.
