"The features are a bit limited compared to other vendors."

"The biggest downside is that it is quite an expensive product."
"The VPN and decryption need improvement."
"The automation and responsiveness need improvement."
"The data analytical system for deployment needs to improve."
"Palo Alto Networks WildFire should be more real-time in nature. The signature updates should happen in a minute or less than a minute to be a very good feature for the customer."
"I don't think it needs to improve anything, except maybe the speed to deploy the changes."
"In terms of what I'd like to see in the next release of Palo Alto Networks WildFire, each release is based on malware that has been identified. The key problem is an average of six months from the time malware is written to the time it's discovered and a signature is created for it. The only advice that I can give is for them to shorten that timeframe. I don't know how they would do it, but if they shorten that, for example, cut it in half, they'll make themselves more famous."
"The technical support response needs improvement."
"The product's false positive logs could be more user-friendly to understand. They could provide examples of precious cases to learn."
