We performed a comparison between ESET Endpoint Protection Platform and Palo Alto Networks WildFire based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This solution has a traditional antivirus, I believe that signature-based detection is most valuable."
"ESET is the fastest solution on the market. It's also highly reliable. On top of the base configuration, you can set it to respond to events such as ransomware detection with network isolation and other automatic tasks. Our customers prefer ESET because it's reliable, fast, and light on system resources."
"The software and hardware inventory that you can create by using the console is valuable. It is also very light on hardware resources."
"We use ESET, which is pretty much perfect for us. It is also absolutely simple and automatic once setup."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the management."
"The most valuable feature is the antispam module, which comes in the bundle."
"It's easy to set up and quick to deploy."
"The stability is great."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"What I like about Palo Alto is that it is a complete product, with everything in it."
"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."
"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."
"The solution has plenty of features."
"The most valuable features are all of the security features in terms of protection and SSL and VPN."
"It catches modified signatures of known viruses."
"The graphic user interface of Palo Alto is good and it's easy to configure."
"It seems to have some issues with updates. When you do updates, it sometimes requests for a reboot, and even when you do the reboot, it still says that you need to reboot. Currently, on my computer, it says that a new ESET Endpoint Antivirus has been installed, and I need to restart the computer for the changes to take effect, but I've already done that, and the same message is still there, which is a little annoying. It should have a feature similar to the Intercept X feature in Sophos."
"The stability needs to be improved. There are bugs that you have to deal with."
"The integration capabilities might be lacking a bit."
"The user interface of ESET Endpoint Security could be more user-friendly and more features could be added."
"ESET Endpoint Security could improve EDR integration."
"The adware module could be improved."
"It's hard to get support for ESET in Hong Kong and China. There's a number to call that goes nowhere. You can upgrade to the premium service, but there are a few restrictions."
"If I were in an environment that required a large-scale deployment then I would choose another solution over ESET."
"They provide a medium level of technical support."
"The VPN and decryption need improvement."
"The only problem with this solution is the cost. It's expensive."
"The cost of this solution could still be improved, in particular, giving product discounts for charitable causes."
"In terms of what I'd like to see in the next release of Palo Alto Networks WildFire, each release is based on malware that has been identified. The key problem is an average of six months from the time malware is written to the time it's discovered and a signature is created for it. The only advice that I can give is for them to shorten that timeframe. I don't know how they would do it, but if they shorten that, for example, cut it in half, they'll make themselves more famous."
"In the future, Palo Alto could reduce the time it takes to process the file."
"The deployment model could be better."
"The technical support response needs improvement."
