Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, ESET and others in Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)."We get support in the free version."
"A good tool for file scanning and email threat detection, especially when it comes to attachments and communications."
"WildFire has been instrumental in blocking a number of new threats, before common desktop anti-virus tools were able to detect them."
"It is stable and pretty much scalable."
"I give the initial setup an eight out of ten."
"It helps us when segmenting and securing the network and all sort of technologies, all sort of next generation needs. It's next generation phases of firewall like anti-virus, sandboxing, wifi, and VPN."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"I like the analysis they apply to the unknown files, and I think they have good technology to use as a sandboxing tool. I didn't find something similar to WildFire in the marketplace."
"The features I have found the most useful are the web filter, the captive portal, the SSL inspector, and the ad-blocker. They're awesome."
"The majority of our clients are very small businesses, and Untangle devices have been fantastic for these small clients. We've basically standardized our stack to just simply use Untangle. We include the hardware and the service option, which makes it very easy and affordable for us to just simply push that into the monthly per-user costing that we provide as a managed services provider. It's really a no-brainer. They're easy to use, and they're easy to set up and configure. Support is generally good about resolving any issues that we have. We haven't had any real complaints."
"It is very easy to deploy and monitor. "
"The product’s most valuable features are endpoint protection management, load balancing, and connectivity with Active Directory."
"The product is easy to implement."
"Web filtering is very reliable."
"What I like about this product, which is the reason that we continue to use it, is that you can install the software version on your own hardware. In case there is a problem with the hardware, we can just install the firewall in another machine and restore the configuration."
"The interface is very good."
"It's not really their problem, it's a problem across the board. There will always be problems with interrupted traffic. We have to set it up where we're playing a middle man game where we're stripping it out, looking at it, and then putting it back together and sending it on its way. That requires CPU cycles. And there's some overhead with that."
"Other vendors have some sort of bandwidth management built into the firewall itself and Palo Alto is missing that."
"The technical support response needs improvement."
"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."
"The cyber security visibility and forensics features to receive more information about incidents could improve in Palo Alto Networks WildFire."
"The GUI is better in 8.0, but I still feel it lacks the fast response most of us desire. Logs are much quicker."
"When you contact support, there is no guarantee that they will be available to help you tackle the issue that you are facing."
"The price could be better."
"The biggest challenge that we have with this solution is local support. The local support is a problem in our area."
"For the web filter, I think they can do better especially on the free model."
"Web-filtering policies could be improved."
"The management console for partners is a bit tricky (buggy)."
"The pricing is not as good as it was some time ago. They've since skipped offering a lot of individual features."
"The product needs to improve its mobile application."
"The hardware can be improved."
"The product needs to have a better support group for its online support, specifically for its help desk."
