Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, ESET and others in Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)."The solution is scalable."
"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."
"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."
"WildFire's application encryption is useful."
"Using WildFire has reduced the number of viruses and the amount of malware that comes into our system, which means that I don't have to rely on the end-users to identify it."
"The technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature is the improved security that it offers."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Symantec Web Isolation is the user-friendliness of the solution."
"When comparing this solution to others it is not as good overall."
"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 support is good but they could be faster."
"The free version does not have real-time updates. It is slow."
"I would like to see them continue on their developmental roadmap for the product."
"They should make their user interface a little more user-friendly."
"I don't think it needs to improve anything, except maybe the speed to deploy the changes."
"The size of Palo Alto's cloud is big but it could be easier to use from a product management perspective."
"Symantec Web Isolation could improve by reducing licensing costs."
