How Vectra beats Darktrace

Attack coverage

Vectra logo green
Darktrace
Vectra provides detailed insights across complex networks, and multiple locations.
Darktrace is challenged to perform across hybrid, multi-site and enterprise scale.
Vectra continuously analyzes network and cloud metadata in real-time.
Darktrace log queries create detection latency and coverage gaps.
Vectra has native bi-directional integrations with the top EDR vendors
Darktrace integrates with EDR but it’s predominantly one-sided

Signal Clarity

Vectra logo green
Darktrace
Vectra delivers AI-driven threat detection and response in a single license
Darktrace anomaly-based rules overwhelm SOC with massive amounts of alerts
Vectra Attack Signal Intelligence with AI-driven Prioritization uses advanced ML & AI to exposes the full narrative of a malicious attack.
Darktrace generates anomalous alerts and limits the incidents and detections revealed in their prioritization model Cyber AI Analyst.
Vectra Attack Signal Intelligence with AI-driven Triage allows operators to authorize discrete behaviors to mitigate false positives rather than suspicious events.
With Darktrace, defeat rules are complex for the operator.

Intelligent Control

Vectra logo green
Darktrace
Vectra counters malicious activity in real-time and stops threats early during attack progression.
Darktrace Antigena is only enabled for a handful of scenarios, so it is not as autonomous as their marketing alludes to.
Vectra provides security teams with the raw data they need
Darktrace uses their own undocumented metrics and reporting
Vectra enables the operator to establish their desired GRC policies
Darktrace cannot report on policies like SMBv1 and expired Cert
