Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet and others in Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)."What I like about Palo Alto is that it is a complete product, with everything in it."
"The analysis is very fast."
"For example, if a security Intel threat talks about an IOC. We can then go to our MSP and say, "Is there a signature for this particular type of malware that just came out?" And if they'll say yes, then we'll say, "Okay. Does it apply to these firewalls? And have we seen any hits on it?" There's absolutely value in it."
"The reporting feature helps our performance."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we never faced any issues."
"Their technical support is outstanding and top-notch."
"Stability is never a concern."
"It is the best device in comparison to other network products in the marketplace."
"It has a dynamic runtime engine, which gives it an advantage over Prisma that has a static engine. In Prisma, we have to do additional malware analysis, which is not required in Proofpoint."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The size of Palo Alto's cloud is big but it could be easier to use from a product management perspective."
"There are some formats that the solution cannot support ."
"In the future, Palo Alto could reduce the time it takes to process the file."
"The cyber security visibility and forensics features to receive more information about incidents could improve in Palo Alto Networks WildFire."
"It's not really their problem, it's a problem across the board. There will always be problems with interrupted traffic. We have to set it up where we're playing a middle man game where we're stripping it out, looking at it, and then putting it back together and sending it on its way. That requires CPU cycles. And there's some overhead with that."
"The VPN and decryption need improvement."
"They can keep on doing more updates. As new malware and viruses are coming out, they can make sure that WildFire is up to date."
"We are using the TRAP console that has a Linux-based UI, which is not user-friendly. The TAP console looks very advanced. Currently, we are maintaining three different consoles, and it is sometimes hard to switch between them or try to grab the data."
