"I find the complete portfolio to be excellent."
"The ability to see what we have not seen before is most valuable. It is very interesting to find out the most vulnerable devices in our network."
"One member of staff is enough for deployment and maintenance because Darkforce is AI-driven. It does a lot of things by itself."

"It is a stable solution without downtime."
"I like the Antigena feature in Darktrace, as it offers immediate response and is helpful."
"Most of the features of Palo Alto Threat Prevention are alright. I recommend features like content filtering, IP address, & intelligent firewalls. The reporting feature is very good."
"One of the most valuable features is the anti-malware protection."
"Edge protection is a valuable feature."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's quite easy. Deployment took one to two weeks."
"You can scale the product."
"It's a monster, it's got so many beautiful features. We do deal with other firewalls and we've got a better idea of what other firewalls' capabilities are, any comparison with the Palo Alto I liked the quality of service on the applications that you can control the amount of bandwidth an application is allowed to consume. The best feature is the quality of the application quality of service."
"I like the solution's interface."
"It's very easy to use and configure. What is nice about Palo Alto is that even if you don't understand how to use it, you can just click on upload and upload everything that needs to be blocked."
"We'd like threat hunting, and we'd like to see a global solution that can automate vulnerability scans. I know it is something they are working on."
"Darktrace does not have any capabilities to configure."
"It could build in integrations for some complementary products, but it has an assistant plugin so this is not really a big deal."
"There is a high ratio of false positive information."
"It is expensive, but everything else has been great so far."
"I would like for the product to work on the endpoints as well. I would like to see enhanced visibility into the endpoints and network but this solution only sits on the network itself."
"The initial setup is more complex and time-consuming than some solutions."
"The module can improve so that every time it's more intelligent."
"The pricing has improved with the newer generation of their Firewalls, but the price could always be lower. In comparison with other solutions, I believe they're quite competitive."
"The solution needs to improve its local technical support services. There is no premium support offered in our market."
"Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention could improve the commercial offing. Other solutions, such as Fortinet provide better commercial features."
"Sometimes when you want to group a set of ports, and communicate with Palo Alto, you cannot group TCP and UDP ports together. This needs to be adjusted."
"We are attempting to improve the use of URL filtering beyond threat protection."
"The price of licenses should be lowered to make it less costly to scale our solution."
"The application’s pricing and dashboard need improvement. It could be user-friendly."
"Mission learning techniques should continue to expand and detect unknown threats on the fly."
