We performed a comparison between Palo Alto Networks WildFire and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, ESET and others in Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)."WildFire has been instrumental in blocking a number of new threats, before common desktop anti-virus tools were able to detect them."
"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."
"The analysis is very fast."
"Intuitive threat prevention and analysis solution, with a machine learning feature. Scalable, stable, and protects against zero-day threats."
"The technical support is good."
"It is stable and pretty much scalable."
"It is the best device in comparison to other network products in the marketplace."
"The graphic user interface of Palo Alto is good and it's easy to configure."
"Zabbix is quite stable once it is set up. We haven't had any post-setup issues."
"Simple network monitoring that is easy to install and manage."
"Our customers also like that they don't have to use multiple modules. Micro Focus and major vendors typically require you to buy several modules and plugins. Our customers do not like that. We offer them a single product for all their monitoring needs."
"The best thing about Zabbix is the integration and the APIs that are included are very fast"
"The most valuable feature is that it provides network segregation for server monitoring."
"The basic setup is very easy."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"In terms of customization and integration, we have more flexibility. We can automate configurations, define deletion rules, and customize based on the needs. The client interface allows for further configuration, making it quite comprehensive."
"The cost of this solution could still be improved, in particular, giving product discounts for charitable causes."
"There are more specialized solutions that compete with Wildfire. Therefore, they need to work on their machine learning and AI to be more competitive."
"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."
"The data analytical system for deployment needs to improve."
"In the future, I would like to see more automation in the reporting."
"Any enhancements should likely be focused on the firewall appliance to further strengthen overall security capabilities, such as refining app and user identity features."
"Palo Alto Networks WildFire could improve by adding support for manual submission of suspicious files and URLs. Additionally, it would be an advantage to add rule-based analysis. Currently, it uses only static and AI. We need to be able to analyze archive files."
"When you contact support, there is no guarantee that they will be available to help you tackle the issue that you are facing."
"There is a bit of a learning curve during installation."
"We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes."
"My company wanted to do an exercise command to access IT from Cameroon. They wanted to access an FSS to a second host with second equipment that was on another coast but it is not possible on Zabbix to do it. They want to directly access from the front-end of Zabbix to access a prompt in Zabbix to an access terminal. In the front-end, there is no way to do that. That would be an important improvement."
"If you want to use all of the features then you have to pay a licensing fee."
"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."
"The dashboard and the graph section could be a little bit more professional."
"There are areas of improvement. The database grows really fast. So, when you install Zabbix, you have to deal with some issues, like the database. We become pretty big very fast."
"The GUI could be more intuitive. Also, we'd like streaming telemetry. Zabbix might have this feature, but I haven't seen it yet. It took us a long time to get started because the documentation isn't very descriptive. We had to go through various sources like YouTube and forums to get this solution working."
