We performed a comparison between NetWitness Platform and Palo Alto Networks WildFire based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What we are mainly using are the RSA concentrator, RSA Decoder, Archiver, Broker, and Log Decoder."
"I can have enterprise security, email security, next generation firewall security log, HIDS and NIDS logs, etc. all on the same dashboard. It makes it easy to pinpoint or correlate our server to this. I can find out if there is lateral movement. This is the biggest advantage of this solution."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to write rules and triggers for network communication, and then being able to investigate based on that."
"Incident management is its most valuable feature."
"It gives the ability to investigate into network traffic in the Net and the organization what we couldn't do before."
"The product's initial setup phase was not at all difficult."
"The most valuable features are its ingestion of logs and raising of alerts based on those logs."
"The most valuable features are the threat prediction and network forensics."
"WildFire's application encryption is useful."
"The solution is easy to use and the Panorama feature is good. The software management or the malware blocking and some authentication management system are good."
"With this product, we receive the best monitoring and reports."
"We get support in the free version."
"The scalability is acceptable."
"The backup is the best feature."
"You have better control because you define apps. You just don't define ports. You define apps, and the apps are monitored in the traffic. It is more specific than the Cisco firewall when it comes to our needs."
"The reporting feature helps our performance."
"Health monitoring of the event sources and devices."
"The threat detection capability and centralizing and upgrading capability need to be improved. The threat alert capability needs to be improved as well because there is some lag time at present. They need to work on their database search too."
"Log aggregation is an issue with this solution because there are a huge number of alerts in a single instance."
"Nowadays, their support is a little subpar compared to other solutions. I rate RSA support six out of 10."
"Lots of competing products have vulnerability protection built into their products, and this solution would be improved by including that support."
"It should have a monitoring feature. It would help us analyze the current state of attacks faster from a single platform."
"The initial setup is very complex and should be simplified."
"Sometimes, it gives me static when integrating Windows-based systems. It should produce a precise log of sorts as to where the problem is. For example, a few days ago because of the McAfee application firewall, I couldn't get access to the particular Windows machine. So, my team and I had to figure out by ourselves that there was a virus responsible for the obstacle. This solution should trigger a meaningful log or message indicating the reason the user or implementer can't get into the machine."
"The cost of this solution could still be improved, in particular, giving product discounts for charitable causes."
"As a firewall and 360 degrees of security, there needs to be more maturity."
"The price could be better."
"When comparing this solution to others it is not as good overall."
"The only complaint that we receive from our customers is in regards to the price."
"Other vendors have some sort of bandwidth management built into the firewall itself and Palo Alto is missing that."
"I would give this product a rating of 9 out of 10 due to some slight issues of performance."
"I think it would be nice for Palo Alto to work without the connection to the cloud. It is 100% powerful when connected to the cloud. But, if you disconnect from the cloud, you only get 40-50% power."
