Find out in this report how the two Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What I like about the VM-Series is that you can launch them in a very short time."
"With the improved visibility we now have, the traffic is being properly monitored, which means that we are better able to manage it. These are improvements that we saw very quickly."
"The most valuable feature is the CLI."
"We use the product on our Azure network firewalls."
"Palo Alto’s Panorama centralized management system simplifies our security posture based on our requirements. Instead of manually pulling logs, then generating them into readable formats, it gives us the console in a readable format to view."
"It offers a single pane of glass for all the different types of installations."
"In Palo Alto the most important feature is the App-ID."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Whole team can use the firewall and understand it."
"The solution is completely integrated with all the other Palo Alto products. I think that it is the best part for endpoint protection. The firewall features include URL and DNS filtering, threat protection, and antivirus."
"A good tool for file scanning and email threat detection, especially when it comes to attachments and communications."
"The way that the solution quickly updates to adjust to threats is the solution's most valuable aspect. When there's a security attack, within five minutes, all Wildfire subscribers have access to updates so that all systems will be safe. Its threat prevention is way better than other vendor products."
"With this product, we receive the best monitoring and reports."
"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."
"Intuitive threat prevention and analysis solution, with a machine learning feature. Scalable, stable, and protects against zero-day threats."
"Their technical support is outstanding and top-notch."
"Integrative capabilities with other solutions should be addressed."
"There are various reports that come with the box or with the VMware, but you can only run them daily."
"At the beginning of the implementation, we had some difficulties with the scripts, but Palo Alto Networks support together with a local partner finally fixed it."
"Palo Alto Networks VM-Series is a complex product to work with."
"The solution needs to have more easily searchable details or documentation about it online, so it's easier to Google if you have queries."
"All areas need improvement: manufacturing, education, financial, etc."
"Palo Alto Networks VM-Series needs to improve its order process."
"In the next release, I would like to see better integration between the endpoints and the firewalls."
"The initial setup was a little bit complex, mainly due to the GUI console and management challenges."
"The cyber security visibility and forensics features to receive more information about incidents could improve in Palo Alto Networks WildFire."
"The system performance degrades after the solution has been deployed for some time. The data that it gives us becomes a little bit slow. When you try to get some data for troubleshooting, it seems like it's working hard to extract that data."
"It would be nice if there was an easier way to install and deploy it, such as through the inclusion of wizards."
"The configuration should be made a little bit easier. I understand why it is as it is, but there should be a way to make it easier from the user side."
"The only problem with this solution is the cost. It's expensive."
"The deployment model could be better."
"I don't think it needs to improve anything, except maybe the speed to deploy the changes."
