"The most valuable feature is the ease of configuration."
"The pipe filter application is an outstanding feature."
"It works very well. It has a lot of different functionalities. Its cost is also fine for our customers."

"The technical support is good."
"What I like about Palo Alto is that it is a complete product, with everything in it."
"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."
"WildFire's application encryption is useful."
"Some of the web policy reports could be improved."
"There are some problems that support cannot give you a logical reason as to why it happened. For example, I had a case where I was dealing with a WhatsApp application that was giving issues. Technical support gave more than one reason it could be giving issues, but none of them solved the problem. Eventually I solved the problem, but it was far from the solutions that support had given."
"Scalability for Fortinet FortiGate needs to be improved. SD-WAN security for this solution also needs some improvement."
"Fortigate's hardware capacities could be improved."
"I would like to see more advanced developments of a wireless controller in the future."
"The support structure needs to be improved because every time we contact them, there is a delay in the response."
"Its reporting and pricing need improvement."
"The solution lacks multi-language support."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"There are more specialized solutions that compete with Wildfire. Therefore, they need to work on their machine learning and AI to be more competitive."
"Our main concern is that everything has to be synced with the WildFire Cloud and has to be checked through the subscription."
"The data analytical system for deployment needs to improve."
"The cost of the solution is excessively high."
"I would give this product a rating of 9 out of 10 due to some slight issues of performance."
"The size of Palo Alto's cloud is big but it could be easier to use from a product management perspective."
"The threat intelligence that we receiving in the reporting was not as expected. We were expecting more. Additionally, we should be able to whitelist a specific file based on a variety of attributes."
"The system performance degrades after the solution has been deployed for some time. The data that it gives us becomes a little bit slow. When you try to get some data for troubleshooting, it seems like it's working hard to extract that data."
