Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet and others in Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)."It is a very stable solution."
"One of the most important parts is, there is auto-upgrade of the hardware every fourth year."
"Scalability is good; the company wants to be able to handle large customers."
"Live monitoring of what is happening inside and on the interfaces, either ingress or egress."
"It's great for handling complex items."
"We enjoy the reduction in terms of labor."
"I wanted to go to a software-defined WAN and in Barracuda they have a specific protocol called TINA (Transport Independent Network Architecture). You can create a master policy over the internet and it allows you to do Quality of Services on top of it. That is really helpful for me."
"The most valuable features are SD-WAN, URL filtering, IPS, and virus scanning."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"The most valuable feature is the Automatic Verdict, to recognize whether something is a threat, or not."
"The technical support is good."
"The graphic user interface of Palo Alto is good and it's easy to configure."
"What I like about Palo Alto is that it is a complete product, with everything in it."
"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."
"My primary use case for this solution is for a secure gateway."
"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."
"Technical support used to be at a very high level but it is now a bit less so."
"The interface should be more user-friendly and it should be easier to configure."
"A rule for email announcements, when configured hits occur, would be a great improvement for a more efficient experience."
"I would like to see the connection improved."
"The analytics are weak."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly dashboard and an easier interface."
"While using Barracuda CloudGen Firewall, we encounter issues with VPN profiles for Windows."
"Can be underpowered if you choose to use all available add-on features. Just be careful when sizing your unit. Make sure you take into account what features you will be turning on, and work with your sales rep to get the model that can handle that load."
"The GUI is better in 8.0, but I still feel it lacks the fast response most of us desire. Logs are much quicker."
"The price of WildFire should be reduced in order to make it more affordable for our customers."
"In the future, Palo Alto could reduce the time it takes to process the file."
"Any enhancements should likely be focused on the firewall appliance to further strengthen overall security capabilities, such as refining app and user identity features."
"It would be nice if there was an easier way to install and deploy it, such as through the inclusion of wizards."
"The cost of this solution could still be improved, in particular, giving product discounts for charitable causes."
"The VPN and decryption need improvement."
"The data analytical system for deployment needs to improve."
