Find out what your peers are saying about Darktrace, Vectra AI, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS)."The most valuable features are the simplicity, transparency, and overall ease of management."
"I find the malware protection very handy."
"Edge protection is a valuable feature."
"Most of the features of Palo Alto Threat Prevention are alright. I recommend features like content filtering, IP address, & intelligent firewalls. The reporting feature is very good."
"The sandboxing tools offer great prevention for cloud feeds."
"The most valuable features are that it's user-friendly, has interesting features, URL filtering, and threat prevention."
"With the IP address flag, I was able to see that I was being hacked. The moment there was an interaction between somebody on my network and that IP, the solution was able to flag it, and we were able to protect ourselves."
"It's a monster, it's got so many beautiful features. We do deal with other firewalls and we've got a better idea of what other firewalls' capabilities are, any comparison with the Palo Alto I liked the quality of service on the applications that you can control the amount of bandwidth an application is allowed to consume. The best feature is the quality of the application quality of service."
"The incident case management is the most valuable feature. Even though there's always something I find I would like to add to that feature, the ability to quickly sort through all the logs, network and endpoint data, etc., and add it to an incident case as part of the investigation, is nice. Having it automatically timeline that additional data into the original incident timeline, and correlate it to other notable events and activities on the network, results in a huge improvement in our overall confidence that we've quickly traced down the right source of an issue."
"Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns."
"Very intuitive and easy to set up."
"The product works well. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution is easy to use, and the interface is intuitive."
"InsightIDR has allowed us to find potential security issues that we did not know existed, and get remediation quickly."
"The solution's initial setup is easy."
"The UI is very good."
"The cost involves the price of the hardware, which is expensive. However, most of the Palo Alto solutions are expensive."
"The installation was complicated."
"I think they can use some improvement on FID."
"Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention could improve the commercial offing. Other solutions, such as Fortinet provide better commercial features."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The technology firewall anomaly network could stand improvement."
"In Africa, the technical support is probably not as good as in Europe and the USA because it's a specific premium support, partner-enabled premium support and all of that. But it's really good, I don't really have any complaints, it's fairly good. I'll give them 80%."
"The organization mail security solutions could be improved. There is no mail security solution available."
"One thing that springs to mind is easier API integration with ITSMs. We are evaluating a new ITSM and I would like to have InsightIDR create a ticket when an attack is identified, and the ticket would be closed in InsightIDR when the ITSM resolution is completed. This would take out the "single point of failure" we currently have, if the email recipient is somehow absent, in recording the risk appetite for the incident and the actions taken to mitigate or not."
"They should add more configuration and security features to it."
"It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses."
"Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console."
"The solution's XDR agents cannot compete with the XDR solutions out there yet."
"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement."
"InsightIDR's integration with other solutions could be improved. Also, I'd like more control from the portal over what's happening on the endpoint side. For example, when I see an attack on an endpoint, I want to be able to stop it from the portal."
"InsightIDR is only available in a cloud version. Some of our customers prefer an on-prem solution because they want to manage the security within their environment."
