"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The tool can proactively detect potential incidents."
"Microsoft collects trillions of signals from all over the world, which is incredibly valuable. It helps us identify zero-day vulnerabilities and global threats."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the ability to provide threat detection and protection simultaneously."
"The global review and remediation of malicious code is probably the most valuable feature."
"The solution is well integrated with other Microsoft security products."
"They have a very transparent roadmap for the product."
"I have not actually called their support line, because we have a direct contact to a senior engineer in the company for any issues that we handle with them. I will say they are very responsive, and they do give you the information you need when you need it."
"The solution strengthens our IT posture."
"AWS has improved our agility to apply firewall rules. It has reduced the amount of time that it takes to apply firewall rules because everything is based in the cloud."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its stability, ease of implementation, ease of operation, and security."
"Palo Alto Networks VM-Series is easy to maintain...From a security point of view, I find Palo Alto Networks VM-Series to be a better product compared to the other solutions in the market."
"The VM-Series reports how much bandwidth a particular IP is using. You don't need to regularly log into a website, like a Cisco command, to see what kind of ACL it's getting. There isn't an ACL use portal event. You can go there and see how much my ACL has been getting me."
"The solution enables organizations to enforce policies."
"In AWS, Palo Alto provides us a better view than flow logs for network traffic."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing structure and make it more affordable."
"The solution could be more stable and precise because, at times, the threats detected are not legitimate."
"I would like to see more AI features and capabilities."
"Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence should integrate with different platforms."
"It's a bit complicated to manage because you have many dependencies of servers, many dependencies in queue, and so on. Entries or different endpoints, and you make different configuration topics for each one. So that's a major problem."
"Having up-to-date documentation and real-time reflections in all portals would be beneficial to keep users informed about any changes. Additionally, the frequent changes in Microsoft's UI and the movement of features between different products in the set pose difficulties."
"The tool's onboarding of users that use on-premise or hybrid environments needs to be improved."
"The price could be improved."
"The interface is all Java-based. I would prefer an HTML5 interface."
"In the next release, I would like to see better integration of multi-factor authentication vendors."
"We have ran into issues with Palo Alto’s limitations for resolving large IP lists from DNS lookups, as well as the antivirus interfering with App-ID."
"I would like to have automatic daily reporting, such as how many users have connected via SSL VPN."
"It has to be more scalable for the deployment of VMs on the cloud."
"The user-friendliness of the UI could be improved."
"The solution's licensing could be improved, and training should be included before installation."
"It'll help if Palo Alto Networks provided better documentation."
