"Being an application-based firewall, this is one of the critical focus factors along with the threat prevention services it provides."
"Whole team can use the firewall and understand it."
"WildFire has been instrumental in blocking a number of new threats, before common desktop anti-virus tools were able to detect them."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud-based protection against zero-day malware attacks."
"The scalability is acceptable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we never faced any issues."
"Their technical support is outstanding and top-notch."
"It has a dynamic runtime engine, which gives it an advantage over Prisma that has a static engine. In Prisma, we have to do additional malware analysis, which is not required in Proofpoint."
"The initial setup was complex."
"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 automation and responsiveness need improvement."
"I don't think it needs to improve anything, except maybe the speed to deploy the changes."
"High availability features are lacking."
"The only problem with this solution is the cost. It's expensive."
"Many years back an update caused an issue with the firewall. However, Palo Alto not only informed us of said issue, they also sent an update that fixed the issue before I even had time to log in to determine if the issue affected our services."
"The support is good but they could be faster."
"We are using the TRAP console that has a Linux-based UI, which is not user-friendly. The TAP console looks very advanced. Currently, we are maintaining three different consoles, and it is sometimes hard to switch between them or try to grab the data."
