Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, ESET and others in Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)."Centralized management is valuable because it allows us to configure settings in one location and apply them across all three locations."
"The solution enables organizations to enforce policies."
"In AWS, Palo Alto provides us a better view than flow logs for network traffic."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its stability, ease of implementation, ease of operation, and security."
"A solid operating system with all the necessary data center security features."
"App-ID and User-ID have repeatedly shown value in securing business critical systems."
"They now know the details about their network traffic that they did not know before: Applications that they are using and some application they did not know they were using."
"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."
"It has a dynamic runtime engine, which gives it an advantage over Prisma that has a static engine. In Prisma, we have to do additional malware analysis, which is not required in Proofpoint."
"I would like to have automatic daily reporting, such as how many users have connected via SSL VPN."
"It'll help if Palo Alto Networks provided better documentation."
"The utilization monitoring and GUI have room for improvement."
"The interface is all Java-based. I would prefer an HTML5 interface."
"Palo Alto Networks VM-Series is a complex product to work with."
"The solution needs to improve its visibility. It's not straightforward to use. Understanding the policies, authorizations, and initializing features requires careful review. The product needs to offer proper training."
"The one issue that I didn't like is that the SNMP integration with interfaces didn't record the interface counters."
"It is not very easy to scale up the solution."
"We are using the TRAP console that has a Linux-based UI, which is not user-friendly. The TAP console looks very advanced. Currently, we are maintaining three different consoles, and it is sometimes hard to switch between them or try to grab the data."
