"Using WildFire has reduced the number of viruses and the amount of malware that comes into our system, which means that I don't have to rely on the end-users to identify it."
"The backup is the best feature."
"It is stable and pretty much scalable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are user-friendliness, price, good security, and cloud-related options."
"Stability is never a concern."
"Their technical support is outstanding and top-notch."
"The most valuable features of Palo Alto Networks WildFire are the good URL and file analysis that uses artificial intelligence. It has different interfaces, such as rest, SMTP protocol, and HTTPS. The Security incidents and event management are very good. Additionally, there are many file types that are supported and there is no limit to the number of files it can handle simultaneously. It integrates well with SIEM solutions."
"I believe it's the advanced security software that offers SMPP protection for the agent."
"The dashboard is very good-looking and offers maximum features. If a customer's website has a problem, we can guide them over the phone because they can easily find the specific option on the dashboard. That's why we suggest buying Sophos."
"There are plenty of features available, such as Full Guard and WAN."
"The solution's interface is user-friendly, and the web protection is good. The tool is highly stable. The product is scalable. The technical support is good. We chose Sophos Cyberoam UTM because their focus on security research is higher compared to other brands. It's an all-in-one solution with antivirus, EDR, wireless protection, and web protection integrated into one box. The initial setup was straightforward."
"Sophos Cyberoam UTM is used for perimeter security, web filtering, intrusion prevention and as a VPN."
"Web and content filtering are valuable in preventing people from abusing the network and pushing up the bandwidth price."
"The user interface is well laid out and understandable."
"The most valuable feature is the solution is easy to configure for users."
"They can keep on doing more updates. As new malware and viruses are coming out, they can make sure that WildFire is up to date."
"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."
"It would be nice if there was an easier way to install and deploy it, such as through the inclusion of wizards."
"The data analytical system for deployment needs to improve."
"The support is good but they could be faster."
"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 free version does not have real-time updates. It is slow."
"The initial setup was complex."
"Cyberoam configuration is done through the browser, which is one of the places that viruses spread."
"The following could be improved: Web Filtering using wildcards; clarity regarding the firewall rules; granular reporting features."
"The price is obviously a more sensitive area to focus on."
"The VPN needs to be improved."
"Sophos Cyberoam UTM could improve by adding VPN site-to-site capabilities. The correct version does not work with Microsoft Azure Cloud."
"I would like to see improvements in the development of reports. The process needs to be made simple."
"I don't know whether this will be included in an upgrade, but I would like to get the user utility, like seeing where the users are using more of the data."
"I had an issue when I was trying to stop a user from using too much bandwidth while I was using Azure, I was not able to stop them."
