Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Performance and reporting are very good."
"NetWitness can be highly beneficial for incident detection and response."
"Possibility to investigate incidents based on logs and raw packets, such as extracting files sent over the network"
"The software is scalable to whatever is required, and you can also put a lot of resources in the cloud."
"The most valuable features are the packet inspection and the automated incident response."
"I can have enterprise security, email security, next generation firewall security log, HIDS and NIDS logs, etc. all on the same dashboard. It makes it easy to pinpoint or correlate our server to this. I can find out if there is lateral movement. This is the biggest advantage of this solution."
"The most valuable features are the integration and ease of use."
"The most valuable feature is the security that it provides."
"I give the initial setup an eight out of ten."
"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 feature for us is the VPN."
"The solution has plenty of features."
"Their technical support is outstanding and top-notch."
"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."
"Scalable ATP solution that's quick to set up. It demonstrates good performance and stability."
"The backup is the best feature."
"Lots of competing products have vulnerability protection built into their products, and this solution would be improved by including that support."
"There are instances where you try to run the reports and then it does not give you the desired outcome."
"Log aggregation is an issue with this solution because there are a huge number of alerts in a single instance."
"The implementation needs assistance."
"The product's licensing models are complex to understand. This particular area needs improvement."
"The documentation is not as structured as I would like, personally, and I think that it can be improved and made much more user-friendly."
"They should implement algorithms to digest that data and produce additional, more advanced reporting, alerting and support of internal security teams."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The GUI is better in 8.0, but I still feel it lacks the fast response most of us desire. Logs are much quicker."
"The cyber security visibility and forensics features to receive more information about incidents could improve in Palo Alto Networks WildFire."
"The automation and responsiveness need improvement."
"The size of Palo Alto's cloud is big but it could be easier to use from a product management perspective."
"Any enhancements should likely be focused on the firewall appliance to further strengthen overall security capabilities, such as refining app and user identity features."
"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."
"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 VPN and decryption need improvement."
