Find out in this report how the two Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is easy to configure."
"The most valuable feature is that it protects us against hundreds of different attack vectors, like ransomware. The protection is always being triggered. People try to access websites that are categorized as malware, so when the users do a DNS request for the IP of those malware websites, the IPS Blade replaces the real IP of the website that is malware with a bogus IP. The user gets an IP that doesn't exist and when he tries to access, it won't work."
"Check Point helps reduce downtime and costs associated with detected cyberattacks and can block those threats to ensure protection from any significant damage that may be caused within the organization."
"Overall, it give me a lot of insight into my network that I didn't have before."
"We are able to define our own rules for detection."
"The solution's IPS functionality and firewall functionality are the solution's most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is called tunneling. Tunneling is one of the major security features that hackers cannot penetrate through."
"Among its great features is the ability to detect outgoing malware or extraction of compromised data and stop it, thus safeguarding us by isolating the network, the equipment, or the identity of the affected users."
"The tool blocks URLs."
"The most valuable feature is that the product can do everything in a single device, including the firewall, rules, and the PBL. It also has good routing and switching."
"It's allowed us to have better visibility and protection from threats."
"Prohibited URLs can be listed by category."
"The Palo Alto solution has improved our organization by providing threat protection across a variety of internet connections. Our company also gets valuable insights regarding threat analysis."
"Being able to manage blacklists and whitelists easily is very useful, especially for internal access and limiting outbound access."
"Palo Alto Networks URL Filtering with PAN-DB is easy to use, easy to operate, and easy to edit."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The installation documentation has room for improvement."
"We want the solution to continue to move towards cloud-based and portability focused for telecommuting users."
"The dashboard reports can be easier to generate and customize."
"Sometimes protections are 'aggregated' into a single threat name when you look at the logs. I would prefer to see all protections named individually (for example, right now, 'web enforcement' is a category that contains several signatures)."
"The pain point that I have with this solution is contacting technical support."
"Occasionally there are glitches and errors like false positives, which would be a nice area of this solution to improve upon."
"The cost is high."
"There is an issue with precision."
"For hosting sites like Blogspot, they host sites that should be in different categories, but get lumped together in general. There needs to be more granularity or multiple categorizations."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"We have had some challenges with making Palo Alto Networks URL Filtering with PAN-DB work with ELK stack."
"An area for improvement would be the technical support, which can be slow."
"Performance monitoring could use improvement."
"It is an expensive solution and not everyone has the budget for it."
"One way Palo Alto can improve is by offering sandboxing. I don't know if they currently offer a sandboxing feature together with the firewall or not. They should provide secure sandboxing with the firewalls."
"Support needs to be enhanced."
