"It blocks the vulnerabilities that can negatively impact us."
"The wireless control is helpful."
"The Intrusion Prevention System and the web filtering are both working well."
"The ease of setting the solution up is a valuable aspect for us."

"The most valuable features of Palo Alto Networks WildFire are the good URL and file analysis that uses artificial intelligence. It has different interfaces, such as rest, SMTP protocol, and HTTPS. The Security incidents and event management are very good. Additionally, there are many file types that are supported and there is no limit to the number of files it can handle simultaneously. It integrates well with SIEM solutions."
"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."
"High availability with active-active and active-passive modes."
"Being an application-based firewall, this is one of the critical focus factors along with the threat prevention services it provides."
"The firmware needs improvement because there are bugs when a new release comes through. Sometimes, the configuration changes, and it's a bit harder to see where the fail is. The first time that you have the firmware, it tends to have some issues, and it's better to wait a bit to update the equipment."
"Scalability for Fortinet FortiGate needs to be improved. SD-WAN security for this solution also needs some improvement."
"The cloud management and automation capability could be improved."
"Its price could be better."
"The performance could be a bit better. Right now, I find it to be lacking. Having good performance is very important for our work."
"The pricing could be reduced or include the first year warranty."
"The process of configuring firewall rules appears excessively complex."
"There are mainly two areas of improvement in Fortinet FortiGate— the licensing cost and the timing of upgrading licenses for boxes."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The initial setup was a little bit complex, mainly due to the GUI console and management challenges."
"The product's false positive logs could be more user-friendly to understand. They could provide examples of precious cases to learn."
"The solution can improve its traffic management."
"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."
"Palo Alto Networks WildFire could improve by adding support for manual submission of suspicious files and URLs. Additionally, it would be an advantage to add rule-based analysis. Currently, it uses only static and AI. We need to be able to analyze archive files."
"There are certain changes that I was expecting in the previous version, and I hope that they are soon fixed. All of the problems that I have faced so far have been resolved."
"They should make their user interface a little more user-friendly."
"In the future, Palo Alto could reduce the time it takes to process the file."
