Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet and others in Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)."Stability is never a concern."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"The technical support is good."
"Detailed reporting on analysis of content. The inspections are easily applied to security policy profiles and profile groups, and may be assigned on a per-rule basis."
"They have many different options with Palo Alto WildFire and the set-up is quick. If you have all the details in hand, it does not take more than 15 minutes to deploy a firewall."
"I like the analysis they apply to the unknown files, and I think they have good technology to use as a sandboxing tool. I didn't find something similar to WildFire in the marketplace."
"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."
"The cloud-based services are a nice feature."
"It's a very reliable platform and we've never had any issues regarding the scalability or the stability of Zabbix."
"The solution allows you to configure and customize how you want to collect information from servers or other systems."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring and the ease with which we can set it up at customer sites with our custom Zabbix proxy and tools."
"I like being able to use proxy servers for different locations. The agents are pretty cool. They're easy to roll out. The standard out-of-the-box templates are also pretty easy to use. The integration with other learning products is also good. I have, in the past, used Slack, but we've integrated it with Microsoft Teams. We also use it for SMS with a service called Redcoat. It is very flexible. It does what I need it to do, and my manager is very happy because it doesn't cost anything. We are nearing 4,000 hosts inside Zabbix, and we've got another 6,000 access points to add to it. We've thrown everything at it, and it has managed to keep going. I am very impressed with the tool, and I'd shake their hand very hard if I got to say the compliments to the Zabbix team. They keep improving it and doing refreshes, which is one good thing about it. There is also online information as well as books that you can purchase if you're willing to read enough. There is a lot to pick up, but it is a pretty complete solution."
"There is less computing power needed for scaling."
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"The most valuable feature is the protocol to manage anything."
"Our main concern is that everything has to be synced with the WildFire Cloud and has to be checked through the subscription."
"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."
"There are more specialized solutions that compete with Wildfire. Therefore, they need to work on their machine learning and AI to be more competitive."
"Other vendors have some sort of bandwidth management built into the firewall itself and Palo Alto is missing that."
"I don't think it needs to improve anything, except maybe the speed to deploy the changes."
"The solution can improve its traffic management."
"Any enhancements should likely be focused on the firewall appliance to further strengthen overall security capabilities, such as refining app and user identity features."
"The solution needs to add features for finding loopholes or problems and their root causes."
"Look and feel."
"The networking monitor is not too easy to work with."
"The documentation could be improved."
"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."
"We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes."
"For us, the initial setup was complex"
"The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly."
