We performed a comparison between Check Point Infinity and Palo Alto Networks WildFire based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Infinity is a technical console where we have to log in, and we can navigate to all the products very easily because it is written in a normal installation. People who know about the product can click and take care of their activity."
"The initial implementation was accomplished easily and without deployment problems."
"The solution is very stable. I would estimate it's 99.9% stable, if not more."
"Infinity has come to give us total protection."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Infinity is the ease of use and navigation."
"For me, one of the best features of Check Point Infinity is to be able to have the possibility of emulating the activity of attached files with malicious content in such a short time."
"The tool's most valuable feature for threat prevention is the encryption alarm. I find the centralized management console, including the log analyzer and reports in Check Point Infinity, extremely beneficial for enhancing security and operations efficiency in our enterprise. I would rate it a perfect ten out of ten, as it effectively helps us analyze logs, and detect potential attacks."
"The product, a cloud-based unified security solution, facilitates the automation of security threat detection and vulnerability management across various endpoints, including mobile and IoT devices. A notable feature is the centralized administration, allowing monitoring of existing solutions from web and mobile devices in a unified interface."
"I like the analysis they apply to the unknown files, and I think they have good technology to use as a sandboxing tool. I didn't find something similar to WildFire in the marketplace."
"It gives a more accurate assessment of a virus in terms of whether it's truly a virus, malware, or a false positive. We have some legacy software that could pop up as being something that is malware. WildFire goes through and inspects it, and then it comes back and lets us know if it's a false positive. Usually, when it finds out that it's not a virus, it lets us know that it's benign, and it can exclude it from that scan, which means I don't even have to worry about that one popping up anymore."
"High availability with active-active and active-passive modes."
"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 most valuable features are all of the security features in terms of protection and SSL and VPN."
"It is the best device in comparison to other network products in the marketplace."
"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."
"They have many different options with Palo Alto WildFire and the set-up is quick. If you have all the details in hand, it does not take more than 15 minutes to deploy a firewall."
"The console at the beginning also has the section on where to save the logs, however, if by mistake we choose a very remote area, this detail cannot be corrected unless the change of data center where the logs are housed, which is requested through support, which can become a management difficulty."
"We need improvement around the Smart-1 cloud solution."
"Check Point Infinity's web application is sometimes a little slow."
"Technical support is pretty delayed."
"The endpoint solutions offered by Check Point are not prominent enough in the market due to Check Point's poor marketing efforts."
"The solution's reports should be easy to understand and work with."
"One of the main improvements that can be made is the latency in the portal."
"We have had some performance issues. Because of this, we had to redirect traffic to be analyzed by other appliances."
"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 threat intelligence that we receiving in the reporting was not as expected. We were expecting more. Additionally, we should be able to whitelist a specific file based on a variety of attributes."
"The product fails to offer protection when dealing with high-severity vulnerabilities, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The data analytical system for deployment needs to improve."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The free version does not have real-time updates. It is slow."
"The configuration should be made a little bit easier. I understand why it is as it is, but there should be a way to make it easier from the user side."
"The size of Palo Alto's cloud is big but it could be easier to use from a product management perspective."
