If someone's laptop or phone is malware-infected, the tool prevents it from uploading valuable corporate data outside the corporate network. That's what I love about Palo Alto Networks WildFire. It stops malware in its tracks."
"Intuitive threat prevention and analysis solution, with a machine learning feature. Scalable, stable, and protects against zero-day threats."

"The cost of the solution is excessively high."
"In the future, Palo Alto could reduce the time it takes to process the file."
"It would be nice if there was an easier way to install and deploy it, such as through the inclusion of wizards."
"I would give this product a rating of 9 out of 10 due to some slight issues of performance."
"Many years back an update caused an issue with the firewall. However, Palo Alto not only informed us of said issue, they also sent an update that fixed the issue before I even had time to log in to determine if the issue affected our services."
"The size of Palo Alto's cloud is big but it could be easier to use from a product management perspective."
"The GUI is better in 8.0, but I still feel it lacks the fast response most of us desire. Logs are much quicker."
"Any enhancements should likely be focused on the firewall appliance to further strengthen overall security capabilities, such as refining app and user identity features."
