Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Darktrace/Email from other similar products?

The service is integrated directly into our M365 Environment and works from the moment it is enabled and configured. We have seen a drop in potential scam, phishing and malware infected emails trying to get into our systems to a degree higher than expected.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The layout is clean and concise with a great interface that is simple to navigate and use. Anyone in the Tech Team can use the service with little to no training.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The cost is high, but you get what you pay for.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Make sure you trial the service before you commit to buy - it is a great service, all be it expensive, but worth it for all it can do. We use this with Darktrace Network and Client Sensors and it integrates well across all our platforms and reduces our risks hugely.

Top-Tier Email Security That Exceeded Expectation

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Darktrace/Email from other similar products?

Darktrace/Email stands out by using self-learning AI to understand normal email behavior and detect novel, targeted threats like impersonation and phishing—without relying on rules or signatures. It stops threats in real time, before users can engage.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

One standout aspect of Darktrace/Email is its ability to adapt autonomously—using AI to learn from each organization’s unique communication style and stop threats that traditional tools might miss.

What do you dislike most about this product?

One drawback of Darktrace/Email is that its AI-driven decisions can sometimes feel like a “black box” — making it harder for security teams to understand why a message was flagged or allowed.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you're considering Darktrace/Email, I’d recommend starting with a proof of concept to see how its AI adapts to your specific environment. Make sure your team is ready to review early alerts and fine-tune policies during the learning phase.
