We performed a comparison between Palo Alto Networks VM-Series 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."In AWS, Palo Alto provides us a better view than flow logs for network traffic."
"It offers a single pane of glass for all the different types of installations."
"It allows us to see all our traffic to properly secure it and only allow what is needed through the firewall."
"It gives us the ease that we are secure. We have set up the proper things that help make our data safe."
"The most valuable features are security and support."
"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 product provides more visibility into our traffic."
"The most valuable feature is that you can launch it in a very short time. You don't have to wait for the hardware to arrive and get it staged and installed. From that perspective, it is easy to launch. It is also scalable."
"The backup is the best feature."
"It is the best device in comparison to other network products in the marketplace."
"My primary use case for this solution is for a secure gateway."
"The most valuable feature is the Automatic Verdict, to recognize whether something is a threat, or not."
"The way that the solution quickly updates to adjust to threats is the solution's most valuable aspect. When there's a security attack, within five minutes, all Wildfire subscribers have access to updates so that all systems will be safe. Its threat prevention is way better than other vendor products."
"The solution has plenty of features."
"The most valuable features of the solution are user-friendliness, price, good security, and cloud-related options."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see better integration of multi-factor authentication vendors."
"There are some delays that I have observed when my company communicates with Palo Alto's support engineers."
"Palo Alto should update their documentation to make it more readable and provide easier-to-follow instructions through videos."
"Integrative capabilities with other solutions should be addressed."
"The product needs improvement in their Secure Access Service Edge."
"I would like a way to do everything programmatically, or be able to copy the configs from different prices at different levels."
"There could be dynamic DNS features similar to Fortinet in the product."
"The solution needs to have more easily searchable details or documentation about it online, so it's easier to Google if you have queries."
"In the future, Palo Alto could reduce the time it takes to process the file."
"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."
"The GUI is better in 8.0, but I still feel it lacks the fast response most of us desire. Logs are much quicker."
"The data analytical system for deployment needs to improve."
"Many years back an update caused an issue with the firewall. However, Palo Alto not only informed us of said issue, they also sent an update that fixed the issue before I even had time to log in to determine if the issue affected our services."
"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."
"The solution can improve its traffic management."
"The initial setup was a little bit complex, mainly due to the GUI console and management challenges."
