Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
One of the valuable features is its ability to detect new threats. You have access to a report as to what behaviors the example file entered in the registry. | The most valuable feature is the Automatic Verdict, to recognize whether something is a threat, or not. They have many different options with Palo Alto WildFire and the set-up is quick. If you have all the details in hand, it does not take more than 15 minutes to deploy a firewall. 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. Being an application-based firewall, this is one of the critical focus factors along with the threat prevention services it provides. It is stable and pretty much scalable. The cloud-based services are a nice feature. My primary use case for this solution is for a secure gateway. The reporting feature helps our performance. |
Cons | |
The product is good but it could be speedier. In addition, it's quite complex. For additional features, maybe a form of execution pain files in a non-virtual environment because it has threats that identify when it is being run in a virtual machine. | I would like to see them continue on their developmental roadmap for the product. 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. Other vendors have some sort of bandwidth management built into the firewall itself and Palo Alto is missing that. As a firewall and 360 degrees of security, there needs to be more maturity. The initial setup was complex. 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. I would give this product a rating of 9 out of 10 due to some slight issues of performance. They should make their user interface a little more user-friendly. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees. | The licensing fees are on an annual basis, and there are no costs in addition to the standard fees. It's pretty expensive but with respect to value for money, it's okay. It is a reasonable price compared to other solutions on the market. The pricing is OK, it is not too expensive. More expensive than other firewalls. It is expensive, a feature more accessible to enterprise class customers, but provides an enhanced possibility that Zero- or near-Zero-day threats may be identified and mitigated. The cost of the product weighed against the potential impact of even one successful crypto malware-type exploit may justify the expense. The pricing and licensing option should be categorized for various countries such as for Bangladesh. It's not particularly cheap, but it is absolutely worth it. |
