We performed a comparison between Palo Alto Networks WildFire and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, ESET and others in Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)."The most effective feature of WildFire for threat analysis is its collaboration with other security profiles on our Palo Alto firewall."
"With this product, we receive the best monitoring and reports."
"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 scalability is acceptable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we never faced any issues."
"We have found that Palo Alto Networks WildFire is scalable. We currently have six thousand users for the product."
"It is stable and pretty much scalable."
"During my testing, the features that I like the most are that it can be integrated with my system, and it provides me with reports of all of my servers."
"The flexible licensing model is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. It really allows for great flexibility for companies."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of virtual machines."
"There is a problems page that shows us every warning or problem that occurs on our VMs globally. The map screen is also really useful because this is something that was missing. I don't know every other tool in the market. So, I don't know if this is a good point of only Zabbix, or other tools are also doing it, but from my point of view, this is the most useful page that I use, along with the problems page that efficiently lists the problem, recovery time, ending hours, starting hours, and so on."
"It provides high scalability, alerting, notification, templating, and end-to-end security."
"It has an intuitive UI with beautiful graphs and customizable maps."
"The pricing of the product is reasonable."
"Zabbix is both stable and scalable."
"Palo Alto Networks WildFire could improve by adding support for manual submission of suspicious files and URLs. Additionally, it would be an advantage to add rule-based analysis. Currently, it uses only static and AI. We need to be able to analyze archive files."
"The product's false positive logs could be more user-friendly to understand. They could provide examples of precious cases to learn."
"The initial setup was a little bit complex, mainly due to the GUI console and management challenges."
"I would like to see them continue on their developmental roadmap for the product."
"The product fails to offer protection when dealing with high-severity vulnerabilities, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"When comparing this solution to others it is not as good overall."
"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."
"I think it would be nice for Palo Alto to work without the connection to the cloud. It is 100% powerful when connected to the cloud. But, if you disconnect from the cloud, you only get 40-50% power."
"They should open an SSH session from the web interface."
"There's a small module of APM, however, it is not an enhanced version. People usually ask for a full-fledged APM solution."
"The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly."
"The solution needs to add remote features."
"It should be easy to modify the front end."
"Its UI needs to be improved a little bit more so that an end-user is also able to handle it. I can handle it, but others should also be able to handle it in a better way. It becomes complex when we are growing and need to add proxies. We need more scalability features and documentation for different use cases. A lot of articles are available, but they need to be in proper documentation. For example, when you have thousands of servers that have to be monitored in different regions of the world, there should be some kind of documentation to describe how you can create proxies and add them. Sometimes, when you are using the database, it can get overloaded. When the network is growing, the number of transactions becomes very high, and the database gets overloaded. There should be information about how to reduce the load on the MySQL database, which is what Zabbix is using. The market is growing a lot, and it should be enhanced for a lot more things. We are currently bringing enhancements at our end for different use cases. For example, when dockerization is going on, how can we check the logs inside the Dockers. We should also be able to monitor and check the number of logins and add features such as SSO login and two-factor authentication as a protocol. These are the security features and concerns that we have to deal with. Currently, we are developing modules to add features to Zabbix, but they should also work on these features."
"In the next release, I'm hoping for features targeted towards larger users with more customizable options. Despite this, I think pre-canned reports that can be used straight out of the box would be beneficial rather than having to configure each report individually. Additionally, a deeper dive into software configurations on the machines would be useful, although I understand there may be challenges in implementing this due to scripting requirements. More documentation would also be appreciated."
"The solution needs to add features for finding loopholes or problems and their root causes."
