We performed a comparison between Palo Alto Networks WildFire and Zscaler Internet Access based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, ESET and others in Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)."I love the idea of Palo Alto Networks WildFire. It's more geared toward preventing malware. If someone's laptop or phone is malware-infected, the tool prevents it from uploading valuable corporate data outside the corporate network. That's what I love about Palo Alto Networks WildFire. It stops malware in its tracks."
"It is the best device in comparison to other network products in the marketplace."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"A good tool for file scanning and email threat detection, especially when it comes to attachments and communications."
"The most valuable features are all of the security features in terms of protection and SSL and VPN."
"The technical support is good."
"It is stable and pretty much scalable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we never faced any issues."
"The most valuable feature is bandwidth control."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"We use ZIA for outbound internet connectivity. The internet traffic of on-prem users will be directed to the ZIA cloud for security checks and web filtering."
"In terms of management and visibility, there is a single panel where you can configure the policies for your entire organisation worldwide."
"We enjoy all of the proxy capabilities and the capability to integrate into the SIEM/SOC solution."
"The solution is scalable and stable."
"After a proper implementation, the maintenance is very low."
"All internet access flows through the Zscaler proxy, regardless of whether people are in office or remote. I have greater control site access and I minimize the number of compromises that we experience to almost none."
"The automation and responsiveness need improvement."
"High availability features are lacking."
"In the future, I would like to see more automation in the reporting."
"The technical support response needs improvement."
"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."
"When comparing this solution to others it is not as good overall."
"When you contact support, there is no guarantee that they will be available to help you tackle the issue that you are facing."
"I don't think it needs to improve anything, except maybe the speed to deploy the changes."
"We'd like for them to include some sort of antivirus tool."
"Zscaler Internet Access can improve by adding traffic filtering based on the DNS."
"It needs better integration with other applications. It takes a fair amount of regular activity to apply the by-passes because it is very strict in its restrictions and frequently you have to go in and open things up to allow the workforce to work."
"Technical support could be better."
"Zscaler Internet Access's troubleshooting is very limited, and their textbook logs need to be more informative."
"The interface for administration could be better. They should upgrade the management portal."
"The tool should improve the predefined dictionaries."
"Zscaler does not provide dedicated IPs to each customer. Hence, they share a pool of IPs provided by Zscaler. There is a chance of blacklisting these IPs. I also do not like the multi-management portal."
