Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet and others in Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)."Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we never faced any issues."
"The most valuable features of the solution are user-friendliness, price, good security, and cloud-related options."
"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."
"Remote access is excellent."
"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."
"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 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."
"It catches modified signatures of known viruses."
"The level of discovery-based configuration that lets us auto-configure the monitoring for various systems is a valuable feature."
"Simple network monitoring that is easy to install and manage."
"It is a great product. The SNMP protocol tracking feature is good. I really like how it tracks SNMP. The alerts are also great."
"The pricing of the product is reasonable."
"Templates are good. We download them from the official Zabbix site or the community. If the information we need isn't available, we create custom templates based on client requirements."
"It's a flexible solution."
"The basic setup is very easy."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"Our main concern is that everything has to be synced with the WildFire Cloud and has to be checked through the subscription."
"The cost of the solution is excessively high."
"They provide a medium level of technical support."
"Many years back an update caused an issue with the firewall. However, Palo Alto not only informed us of said issue, they also sent an update that fixed the issue before I even had time to log in to determine if the issue affected our services."
"High availability features are lacking."
"The configuration should be made a little bit easier. I understand why it is as it is, but there should be a way to make it easier from the user side."
"Other vendors have some sort of bandwidth management built into the firewall itself and Palo Alto is missing that."
"The technical support response needs improvement."
"Outside of the normal standard monitoring, I would like to extend patching, importing patching, and supporting patching for Windows Servers."
"Implementation is always tailored to the customer and the kind of information we need from the client to carry it out can make them very uncomfortable. Sometimes the clients are not ready to share it."
"There's a small module of APM, however, it is not an enhanced version. People usually ask for a full-fledged APM solution."
"Zabbix technical support is sold separately."
"The stability could be better."
"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."
"I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE."
"The GUI could be more intuitive. Also, we'd like streaming telemetry. Zabbix might have this feature, but I haven't seen it yet. It took us a long time to get started because the documentation isn't very descriptive. We had to go through various sources like YouTube and forums to get this solution working."
