We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
WildFire AI is the best option for this product. The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service. The stability of the solution is very good. We have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week. It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core. We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface. It has a lot of benefits for us. It blocks malicious files. It prevents attacks. It doesn't require many updates, it's a very light application. The most valuable features are the fact that it was running in the background and it would intercept any weird stuff, and the fact that it would send things directly to the cloud for sandboxing. It's quite practical. After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent. | The most valuable feature is the ability to centrally manage the total security environment, including the firewall. The protection that this solution offers us is strong. Intercept X is the most valuable feature in the solution. It's more or less pretty standard. The endpoint feature allows you to basically see what is happening, and stop a wide range of threats. It's been the most unique identifier for Sophos. If you want something simple to work with, Sophos makes it very simple for you to use. So easy to deploy and use that you really don't even need their technical support. It is stable. |
Cons | |
The dashboard is the area that needs to improve so that we can have the ability to drill down without having to go elsewhere to verify results. It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously. The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports. In the next release, I would like to see more UI improvements. Their UI is a bit basic. When we are speaking about Palo Alto Networks they are the big company, so they can improve the UI a little bit. The UI, the reports, the log system can all be improved. Currently, if you use Palo Alto endpoint protection as the only solution it's very complicated to remove pre-existing threats. Managing the product should be easier. There are some false positives. What our guys would have liked is that it would have been easier to manipulate as soon as they found a false positive that they knew was a false positive. How to do so was not obvious. Some people complained about it. The interface, the ESM, is not user-friendly. There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around. In the hotel industry, we use a different type of data versus Oracle and SQL. By default, there are some policies which stop us from running properly. Because of this, the support level is also not that strong. We have to wait to get a results. | I would like to have more logging features to help more deeply analyze traffic. In the next release, I would like to see the phishing attached included in the firewall. Deployment and central management need to be improved. If you are not an IT expert, the solution is difficult to use. Configuring notifications is lagging a bit behind the curve as the product should be able to direct exactly where any notification type is sent. Sometimes there are issues with the antivirus back logs. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
This is an expensive solution. The price was fine. When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward. I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require. It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses. The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase. It is "expensive" and flexible. Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance. | The pricing for this solution is ok. Willing to discount when you are switching from another product. Upgrading services will end up costing more, as expected. |
