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."Incident management is its most valuable feature."
"The development of use cases on the SSA console is quite user friendly. This means that the security analyst or the researcher does not have to learn another language."
"It gives the capability for the incident response team to correlate logs to identify any kind of problem like malware and incidents in a general sense, both for logs and packets."
"In my opinion, the solution's most valuable feature is its capacity to monitor network traffic, logs from devices within the network, and network captures. This capability extends beyond logs to include full network capturing."
"Possibility to investigate incidents based on logs and raw packets, such as extracting files sent over the network"
"The most valuable features are the threat prediction and network forensics."
"Performance and reporting are very good."
"The product's initial setup phase was not at all difficult."
"I give the initial setup an eight out of ten."
"The most valuable features are all of the security features in terms of protection and SSL and VPN."
"Stability is never a concern."
"WildFire has been instrumental in blocking a number of new threats, before common desktop anti-virus tools were able to detect them."
"For example, if a security Intel threat talks about an IOC. We can then go to our MSP and say, "Is there a signature for this particular type of malware that just came out?" And if they'll say yes, then we'll say, "Okay. Does it apply to these firewalls? And have we seen any hits on it?" There's absolutely value in it."
"Their technical support is outstanding and top-notch."
"Intuitive threat prevention and analysis solution, with a machine learning feature. Scalable, stable, and protects against zero-day threats."
"It gives a more accurate assessment of a virus in terms of whether it's truly a virus, malware, or a false positive. We have some legacy software that could pop up as being something that is malware. WildFire goes through and inspects it, and then it comes back and lets us know if it's a false positive. Usually, when it finds out that it's not a virus, it lets us know that it's benign, and it can exclude it from that scan, which means I don't even have to worry about that one popping up anymore."
"There is no support for this product in this country, so problems have to be resolved through global technical teams."
"The product's licensing models are complex to understand. This particular area needs improvement."
"The initial setup was complex because it takes a lot of time to complete the implementation."
"Technical support could be improved."
"Nowadays, their support is a little subpar compared to other solutions. I rate RSA support six out of 10."
"The log system is a bit complex and has room for improvement."
"The multi-tenant capabilities are lagging compared to IBM QRadar."
"Health monitoring of the event sources and devices."
"I would give this product a rating of 9 out of 10 due to some slight issues of performance."
"It's not really their problem, it's a problem across the board. There will always be problems with interrupted traffic. We have to set it up where we're playing a middle man game where we're stripping it out, looking at it, and then putting it back together and sending it on its way. That requires CPU cycles. And there's some overhead with that."
"In the future, Palo Alto could reduce the time it takes to process the file."
"They can keep on doing more updates. As new malware and viruses are coming out, they can make sure that WildFire is up to date."
"The cost of this solution could still be improved, in particular, giving product discounts for charitable causes."
"The deployment model could be better."
"They provide a medium level of technical support."
"They should make their user interface a little more user-friendly."
