Find out in this report how the two Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."In the newer version, there are 3850s, all of them are scalable. They fit better into the medium or small businesses."
"It is an easy-to-scale product."
"With the improved visibility we now have, the traffic is being properly monitored, which means that we are better able to manage it. These are improvements that we saw very quickly."
"A solid operating system with all the necessary data center security features."
"The most valuable features are web control and IPS/IDS."
"The solution strengthens our IT posture."
"Palo Alto Networks VM-Series's most valuable feature is the visibility of the environment."
"The most effective features for threat prevention are application-based prevention and WildFire. These features cover various threats, such as ransomware, malware, etc. They provide real-time visibility. By applying appropriate policies, threats can be blocked."
"Their technical support is outstanding and top-notch."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud-based protection against zero-day malware attacks."
"Remote access is excellent."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"Whole team can use the firewall and understand it."
"It catches modified signatures of known viruses."
"Scalable ATP solution that's quick to set up. It demonstrates good performance and stability."
"The implementation should be simplified."
"It is not very easy to scale up the solution."
"I would like a way to do everything programmatically, or be able to copy the configs from different prices at different levels."
"The disadvantage with Palo Alto is that they don't have a cloud-based solution that includes a secure web gateway."
"I would like to see a more thorough QA process. We have had some difficulties from bugs in releases."
"The interface is all Java-based. I would prefer an HTML5 interface."
"All areas need improvement: manufacturing, education, financial, etc."
"The reporting part of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"In the future, I would like to see more automation in the reporting."
"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 size of Palo Alto's cloud is big but it could be easier to use from a product management perspective."
"There are more specialized solutions that compete with Wildfire. Therefore, they need to work on their machine learning and AI to be more competitive."
"The free version does not have real-time updates. It is slow."
"Any enhancements should likely be focused on the firewall appliance to further strengthen overall security capabilities, such as refining app and user identity features."
"I think it would be nice for Palo Alto to work without the connection to the cloud. It is 100% powerful when connected to the cloud. But, if you disconnect from the cloud, you only get 40-50% power."
"As a firewall and 360 degrees of security, there needs to be more maturity."
