We performed a comparison between CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, Palo Alto Networks WildFire, and Sophos Cyberoam UTM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about CyberArk, Delinea, BeyondTrust and others in Privileged Access Management (PAM)."Performance-wise, it is excellent."
"You can write different types of policies for custom business needs or any developer needs. If they need certain functions allocated, they can be customized easily."
"The users have the ability to rotate passwords on a daily basis with a Reconcile Account. Or, if they want to do one-time password checkouts, we can manage those, check in, check out. I like the flexibility of the changing of the password, specifically."
"We found the initial setup to be easy."
"CyberArk PAM can be easily automated."
"It is a scalable product."
"I like the integrations for external applications."
"The solution helps our developers access internal systems. It also helps us in Privilege Access Management."
"The most effective feature of WildFire for threat analysis is its collaboration with other security profiles on our Palo Alto firewall."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"What I like about Palo Alto is that it is a complete product, with everything in it."
"Installing this product as a datacenter firewall for segregation and segmentation, and also configuring policies between zones has improved my organization."
"You have better control because you define apps. You just don't define ports. You define apps, and the apps are monitored in the traffic. It is more specific than the Cisco firewall when it comes to our needs."
"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."
"It helps us when segmenting and securing the network and all sort of technologies, all sort of next generation needs. It's next generation phases of firewall like anti-virus, sandboxing, wifi, and VPN."
"The way that the solution quickly updates to adjust to threats is the solution's most valuable aspect. When there's a security attack, within five minutes, all Wildfire subscribers have access to updates so that all systems will be safe. Its threat prevention is way better than other vendor products."
"Cyberoam UTM's most valuable feature is that it can be configured any way you like."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"Good user interface."
"The most valuable feature is the solution is easy to configure for users."
"The most valuable feature of this product is the threat protection."
"Having a firewall solution with a data quota is very important when the bandwidth is limited, which really distinguishes it from other products."
"It is very easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the firewall section, the VPN, and how you control live users."
"Areas the product could be improved are in some of the reporting capabilities and how the reports are configured."
"This is probably a common thing, but they do ask for a lot of log files, a lot of information. They ask you to provide a lot of information to them before they're willing to give you anything at all upfront. It would be better if they were a little more give-and-take upfront: "Why don't you try these couple of things while we take your log files and stuff and go research them?" A little bit of that might be more helpful."
"The continuous scanning of the assets is limited to Windows and Unix. We like to have the solution scan any databases, network devices, and security devices for privileged accounts. That would be very helpful."
"I would like to see better usability for non-technical people."
"Initial setup is complex. Lots of architecture, lots of planning, and lots of education and training are needed."
"When something comes out, it's generally airtight and works as advertised. However, sometimes they are a little bit slow to keep up with what's coming out. In 2017, for example, they released support for Windows Server 2016, which had been out for a year or so."
"It's hard to find competent resellers/support."
"The current interface doesn't scale that well, and has some screens still in the old layout."
"The VPN and decryption need improvement."
"As a firewall and 360 degrees of security, there needs to be more maturity."
"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 product's false positive logs could be more user-friendly to understand. They could provide examples of precious cases to learn."
"There are more specialized solutions that compete with Wildfire. Therefore, they need to work on their machine learning and AI to be more competitive."
"They can keep on doing more updates. As new malware and viruses are coming out, they can make sure that WildFire is up to date."
"The initial setup was complex."
"I don't think it needs to improve anything, except maybe the speed to deploy the changes."
"Hence, it needs to be easier to configure rules using the solution."
"What needs improvement in Sophos Cyberoam UTM is openness in the competition among Sophos partners or any other Sophos product. Another area for improvement in the solution is pricing. It could be cheaper."
"It should have a better VPN client. We decided to find something different than Cyberoam because of the VPN client software. It would be nice to have a user interface not only in English but also in different languages."
"The solution is at its end of life and some of the appliances are finishing."
"I had an issue when I was trying to stop a user from using too much bandwidth while I was using Azure, I was not able to stop them."
"SD-WAN should be included in the tool."
"We have had some issues with technical support, which is an area that needs improvement."
"The product fails to provide proper reports, making it an area where improvements are required."
