Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, ESET and others in Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)."The backup is the best feature."
"We have found that Palo Alto Networks WildFire is scalable. We currently have six thousand users for the product."
"I love the idea of Palo Alto Networks WildFire. It's more geared toward preventing malware. If someone's laptop or phone is malware-infected, the tool prevents it from uploading valuable corporate data outside the corporate network. That's what I love about Palo Alto Networks WildFire. It stops malware in its tracks."
"We get support in the free version."
"Installing this product as a datacenter firewall for segregation and segmentation, and also configuring policies between zones has improved my organization."
"The most valuable features of Palo Alto Networks WildFire are the good URL and file analysis that uses artificial intelligence. It has different interfaces, such as rest, SMTP protocol, and HTTPS. The Security incidents and event management are very good. Additionally, there are many file types that are supported and there is no limit to the number of files it can handle simultaneously. It integrates well with SIEM solutions."
"The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks WildFire is its ability to adapt to environments and its robustness."
"Intuitive threat prevention and analysis solution, with a machine learning feature. Scalable, stable, and protects against zero-day threats."
"Zscaler Internet Access protects using data loss prevention. If you have a CASB exposing your cloud out into the network, then Zscaler Internet Access will go ahead and control that unknown cloud application in the CASB, protecting it. There is also data detection with exact data match. This improves the data coming into your cloud so you are protecting it."
"We don't have to buy equipment to use it. And when our engineers set it up on our side, we just configured a few settings and we were in."
"The solution replaces multiple vendor technologies with one which makes it worth the cost."
"Zscaler Internet Access's roaming user feature is most valuable and is much better compared to other secure web gateways."
"The best thing about Zscaler Internet Access is the website filtering. In the UAE it's quite an important feature because most of the malware comes through the SQL injection and through downloads from websites. Zscaler helps protect against that."
"The solution’s customer service is good."
"Zscaler Internet Access's best feature is the granular policy controls."
"The solution offers a distributed organization to master and to control all of the endpoints."
"There are certain changes that I was expecting in the previous version, and I hope that they are soon fixed. All of the problems that I have faced so far have been resolved."
"When you contact support, there is no guarantee that they will be available to help you tackle the issue that you are facing."
"The cost of this solution could still be improved, in particular, giving product discounts for charitable causes."
"The price of WildFire should be reduced in order to make it more affordable for our customers."
"As a firewall and 360 degrees of security, there needs to be more maturity."
"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."
"In the future, I would like to see more automation in the reporting."
"I would like to see them continue on their developmental roadmap for the product."
"Sometimes, support isn't available."
"In terms of usage, here in the GCC, it's still growing a growing market, so the combination of DLP, data leak prevention, to a certain extent is fine. But what it requires is user-based access or role-based access. The solution needs to grow into that, which definitely takes time. There's not an easy way to integrate it, when you have a cloud-based solution."
"What could be improved in Zscaler Internet Access is its price. It could be cheaper."
"We'd like to have more plugins and integration."
"The reporting functionality could be a bit easier to use. There is a reporting function, but it's quite hard to do any good reporting, from a user-management perspective. For example, if a department manager wants to know how his department is using the web, there is a way to get the data, but it's quite cumbersome to get it and show it well. And that's true for comparing between departments."
"The main issue with Zscaler Internet Access is proxy IP detection, which sometimes makes sites inaccessible."
"The solution can be improved by advancing some of the newer technologies such as the DLP feature, and adding email security."
"Zscaler Internet Access needs to integrate more ISPs. It is good to have more than three ISPs."
