Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, ESET and others in Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)."You have better control because you define apps.

"The graphic user interface of Palo Alto is good and it's easy to configure."
"The analysis is very fast."

"The most valuable feature is the Automatic Verdict, to recognize whether something is a threat, or not."
