We performed a comparison between Check Point IPS and Palo Alto Networks URL Filtering with PAN-DB based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Its event analysis and centralization features are very important for any organization."
"Some of the features for views and visualization are already predefined as default files."
"I can easily monitor all of our connected devices and I get instant notification of reconnections and new connections, which removes some of the monitoring burden."
"The reports are useful in helping to verify the threats where we can see the level of severity in order to be able to take action."
"It is also worth noting that many IPS signature comes with detailed background about the vulnerability, and potentially how the vulnerability would affect the network security."
"The solution's IPS functionality and firewall functionality are the solution's most valuable features."
"There's an automatic update after every 2 hours which makes sure that the database is up to date and providing zero-day vulnerability protection."
"The Check Point IPS module allows me granularity in creating rules."
"The Palo Alto solution has improved our organization by providing threat protection across a variety of internet connections. Our company also gets valuable insights regarding threat analysis."
"The most valuable feature is that the product can do everything in a single device, including the firewall, rules, and the PBL. It also has good routing and switching."
"Prohibited URLs can be listed by category."
"Being able to manage blacklists and whitelists easily is very useful, especially for internal access and limiting outbound access."
"Palo Alto Networks URL Filtering with PAN-DB is easy to use, easy to operate, and easy to edit."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It's allowed us to have better visibility and protection from threats."
"The tool blocks URLs."
"Sometimes protections are 'aggregated' into a single threat name when you look at the logs. I would prefer to see all protections named individually (for example, right now, 'web enforcement' is a category that contains several signatures)."
"Support is the biggest area for improvement."
"What I would like to improve in IPS would be the capacity of the hardware. I would also like to be able to sort signatures by severity. This would greatly impact how well I can manage my environment."
"There are a lot of false positives. I would like to see integration with some kind of network detection and response in order to make some automation on IPS configuration."
"Despite being a blade, this is expensive."
"The pain point that I have with this solution is contacting technical support."
"The cost is high."
"Occasionally there are glitches and errors like false positives, which would be a nice area of this solution to improve upon."
"We have had some challenges with making Palo Alto Networks URL Filtering with PAN-DB work with ELK stack."
"Performance monitoring could use improvement."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"For hosting sites like Blogspot, they host sites that should be in different categories, but get lumped together in general. There needs to be more granularity or multiple categorizations."
"It is an expensive solution and not everyone has the budget for it."
"An area for improvement would be the technical support, which can be slow."
"One way Palo Alto can improve is by offering sandboxing. I don't know if they currently offer a sandboxing feature together with the firewall or not. They should provide secure sandboxing with the firewalls."
"Support needs to be enhanced."
