Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet and others in Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)."Most people are using enterprise applications remotely, and there is no license for SSL VPN, or in other words point-to-site. There is no limit on that. On other devices there is a specific limit and you have to pay per use for SSL VPN."
"Its stability and SD-WAN features are the most valuable."
"Ability to manage multiple firewalls."
"It is a very stable solution."
"What I like best about this product are the support and the features."
"Single device, multiple functions - I do not need to purchase a web application firewall, a proxy server, a VPN device and so many others because these are all built in to this one device."
"The product is foolproof. It has done everything that we have needed with the amount of email that we receive, and it handles it quite well."
"The solution is stable."
"A good tool for file scanning and email threat detection, especially when it comes to attachments and communications."
"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."
"It is stable and pretty much scalable."
"WildFire has been instrumental in blocking a number of new threats, before common desktop anti-virus tools were able to detect them."
"The most valuable feature is the Automatic Verdict, to recognize whether something is a threat, or not."
"Stability is never a concern."
"The most valuable features are all of the security features in terms of protection and SSL and VPN."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"To start working with spam, it takes a while because the product has to see that multiple emails are coming in with all the spam. If it could reduce that amount of time, then we would reduce the amount of users who are receiving spam."
"The technical manuals, at times, have images that don't match the actual screens and are not always as clear as they could be on the configuration."
"When you do any commit, it locks your next access. If you are making a change to the device, from the security standpoint it's fine, but from the admin side it's not good. When you make changes, after each and every one it becomes locked."
"While using Barracuda CloudGen Firewall, we encounter issues with VPN profiles for Windows."
"Barracuda CloudGen Firewall should work a little bit more with the logs so that, in our company, we can generate a little bit more reports and get a bit more statistics, which would be fine for us."
"The features are a bit limited compared to other vendors."
"The administration UI could be better. It should also have better application detection policies."
"The analytics are weak."
"The solution can improve its traffic management."
"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."
"The support is good but they could be faster."
"The technical support response needs improvement."
"The cyber security visibility and forensics features to receive more information about incidents could improve in Palo Alto Networks WildFire."
"When comparing this solution to others it is not as good overall."
"The cost of the solution is excessively high."
