The company did have a previous solution. I don't know what it was, but the switch to this product was based on the recommendation from the telco.

When it comes to Palo Alto Networks WildFire, The detection level is huge because we chain multiple devices in between. We have noticed a considerable number of detections in WildFire that were not detected by other devices.

Previously, we were running Cisco's solution, but then we got told from headquarters in the US that we needed to change.
View full review »We previously used legacy Cisco ASA. We switched because it was buggy and had no visibility; it was not easy for the rest of my team to use.
We were using Cisco for the last ten years and we wanted to change the product.
View full review »We have used different solutions in the past but switched to Palo Alto Networks WildFire due to the fast analysis.

We switched to the solution since it matches our requirements and helps to analyze threats with a free version.
View full review »Palo Alto was the first solution of this type that we used. However, we have recently purchased Cisco Firepower and no longer work with Palo Alto products.
Prior to Firepower being released, Palo Alto was very simple and better than Cisco ASA. Now, however, Firepower is simpler and the support is outstanding. With Cisco, if you have a severity-one outage then it will be less than ten minutes before you get an engineer on the phone to help you.
I have also worked with Check Point and Juniper solutions, and I feel that scalability-wise, Palo Alto is better than the rest, except for perhaps Cisco, where it is neck and neck.

We previously used a different solution but it was ineffective and didn't integrate well.
View full review »This is a fairly unique feature offered by Palo Alto Networks (may be comparable to FireEye). As such, it was an addition to our existing protection suites.

Umesh Wadhwa
CEO at E-DIRECT CLOUD SOLUTIONS SP. Z O.O.
We deal with other vendors including Cisco and Fortinet, and we see a trend where more and more companies are implementing a WildFire-type solution into their products.
Fortinet is the market leader in Poland, in part because of their pricing. Another important thing is that if you want to implement a PoC and need a device of any kind, it is readily available from Fortinet. However, with Palo Alto, it cannot be done so quickly.
We have been in contact with Cisco technical support, and it is much easier to contact an engineer than it is with Palo Alto. The Cisco support is really good in Poland.

We have not compared this product with other but we would like to evaluate the options if they are available.
View full review »I forgot what the name or product that used previously, but the reason I choose Palo Alto Networks wildfire is it integrated with Palo Alto Networks NGFW that already used on the network environment

We used to have Netscreen as our favourite, but it went EOL. Being an MSP we have to have expertise with all the devices. Although, Netscreen is our favourite.

I have previous experience with FireEye and Symantec. I find that Symantec is a standalone on an enterprise level secure market, which I cannot say for WildFire.
View full review »Previously we used Cisco ASA 5510 and Fortinet. Fortinet was an old version and was phased out due to this. The Cisco ASA was replaced do to the limited capability of the out of box functionality and reporting.
