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."
"Palo Alto Networks VM-Series's most valuable feature is the visibility of the environment."
"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."
"We now know a lot more detail about what our users are doing on the network."
"Palo Alto Networks VM-Series has everything centralized. You have the VPN solution, firewall, routing, UDR, flexibility, updates, and full visibility of your traffic."
"The most valuable feature is the Posture Assessment."
"The tool's cloud version makes application migration easy."
"We use the product on our Azure network firewalls."
"It catches modified signatures of known viruses."
"Remote access is excellent."
"We get support in the free version."
"The cloud-based services are a nice feature."
"The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks WildFire is its ability to adapt to environments and its robustness."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There could be dynamic DNS features similar to Fortinet in the product."

"With Palo Alto Networks VM-Series, it is hard for me to manage its network configuration part."
"It can definitely improve on the performance."
"The current licensing model can be a sore point as we're paying for features we're not fully utilizing."
"Other vendors have some sort of bandwidth management built into the firewall itself and Palo Alto is missing that."
"The cyber security visibility and forensics features to receive more information about incidents could improve in Palo Alto Networks WildFire."
"The cost of this solution could still be improved, in particular, giving product discounts for charitable causes."
"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."
"In terms of what I'd like to see in the next release of Palo Alto Networks WildFire, each release is based on malware that has been identified. The key problem is an average of six months from the time malware is written to the time it's discovered and a signature is created for it. The only advice that I can give is for them to shorten that timeframe. I don't know how they would do it, but if they shorten that, for example, cut it in half, they'll make themselves more famous."
"The data analytical system for deployment needs to improve."
"Management and web filtering can be improved. There should also be better reporting, particularly around web filtering."
"The automation and responsiveness need improvement."
