"In terms of the scalability, it's expandable across the cloud."
"The use of threat cloud protection with its artificial intelligence can automate possible threats."
"Threat Emulation gives networks the necessary protection against unknown threats in files that are attached to emails. The Threat Emulation engine picks up malware at the exploit phase before it enters the network.

The Security incidents and event management are very good. Additionally, there are many file types that are supported and there is no limit to the number of files it can handle simultaneously. It integrates well with SIEM solutions."
"Stability is never a concern."
"We have found that Palo Alto Networks WildFire is scalable. We currently have six thousand users for the product."

"We would like to see this solution reach mobile devices more efficiently, through apps or more specific products."
"Today, we have it as part of a solution or a package. However, we'd like there to be a way where we can have the solution's features available to us in a cheaper way in the future."
