"Allows for firewall rules to be programmed and named in a way that makes it “readable”"
"The main reason why I purchased the particular unit was that it had good reviews and what other people were saying as far as its completeness and its leading capabilities in terms of endpoint security was very good."
"The solution is very, very easy to use."
"The next-gen features, the unified threat management capabilities are something that just about everybody is interested in at this point."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"I love the idea of Palo Alto Networks WildFire. It's more geared toward preventing malware. If someone's laptop or phone is malware-infected, the tool prevents it from uploading valuable corporate data outside the corporate network. That's what I love about Palo Alto Networks WildFire. It stops malware in its tracks."
"The most effective feature of WildFire for threat analysis is its collaboration with other security profiles on our Palo Alto firewall."

"It should have a better pricing plan. It is too expensive. It should also have a more granular view of the attack. I don't have FortiAnalyzer, and it is difficult for me to have a complete view when there is an attack on my server."
"The support system could be improved."
"The UI could be improved."
"There are some complex administration tasks in their administration portal. That needs to be improved."
