Palo Alto Networks WildFire Reviews

My primary use case for this solution is for a secure gateway. It creates a proxy or an appropriation for the suspicious files that can be damaging. 

The cloud-based services are a nice feature.

I do not find it as secure as other solutions. Furthermore, the cloud-based solutions are still not legally available in countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Russia. Some countries do not allow the service according to country obligations. They can not use the cloud services for government offices. So, Wildfire is not allowed in several locations.

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.

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.

The initial setup was straightforward and easy.

The backup is the best feature. It is better than with other firewalls. 

The cost of the solution is excessively high. 

I have been using Palo Alto Networks WildFire for more than four years. I would say five or six years. 

The solution is overpriced. 

We use the solution in our company.

The product is the best. It is superb.

I rate Palo Alto Networks WildFire as a nine out of ten. 

User identification and the Applipedia are the most useful. The integration of the Applipedia with the application identification at layer seven makes it a very comprehensive, and secure, firewall.

We have the ability to see what traffic is coming and going in a much deeper and more detailed fashion. We have also found, and stopped, several malware applications before they infected the endpoints.

I've used it for five months.

During initial testing we were too strict on what was allowed outbound. We ended up needing to open up more broad categories. We also found that several websites do not function well with the SSL Decryption feature. We also found that a custom script is required to put the SSL Decryption certificate into Mozilla Firefox.

No the product has been very stable and reliable.

We implemented it in a smaller environment but, find that the 3000 series has plenty of power and has the ability to grow with us as we provide north-south as well as east-west security between internal environments.

Customer service is very friendly and responsive to any request.

I have found the tech support to be impressive. Support agents are available 24/7, and I have never waited for more than an hour to speak with an agent. I would consider the first team you call to be equivalent to most level two or three engineers.

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.

Initial set-up was straightforward and easy. We were able to get both devices on the network and set-up to look at traffic within a few hours on split up time. The products complexity came from the terms and the overall thinking of how the product works.

We did it in-house.

Before choosing Palo Alto we also reviewed Cisco ASA, Fortinet, and Sophos.

The product is straightforward to implement, though if you are looking for a quick implementation, I would suggest bringing in an expert.

Installing this product as a datacenter firewall for segregation and segmentation, and also configuring policies between zones.

Threat Prevention and WildFire features should be enabled in Palo Alto. With this product, we receive the best monitoring and reports.

The VPN and decryption need improvement.

No, I did not encounter any issues with Palo Alto's firewall. The product is very stable.

No, but you should do the rightsizing before buying the product. 

They provide a medium level of technical support.

I used Cisco. Palo Alto is better for datacenter and Cisco for perimeter.

Straightforward to use.

More expensive than other firewalls.

We evaluated Cisco Firepower.

My advice is to install Palo Alto's firewall as a datacenter. You should enable the features (Threat Prevention (AS, AV, and Vulnerability Protection), File Blocking, URL Filtering, WildFire, etc.).

Palo Alto's firewall is the best firewall right now. I have used Palo Alto since 2014.

We are a security company working in the security system for the banking sectors, and we're trying to penetrate through the identity and access management products for our clients.

We work with all of the Palo Alto technologies.

The most valuable features of this solution are sandbox capabilities. 

It removes all of the potential risks that come with attached documents or any macros from the vulnerability to be extended to Wildfire and to ensure that these kinds of attachments do not contain ransomware.

Our main concern is that everything has to be synced with the WildFire Cloud and has to be checked through the subscription.

In the next release, I would like to see some integration with other products, with endpoints and management. 

Also, there are too many features for the client to research.

We are starting to implement it into the Egyptian market. We closed one of the deals only last month. But, we have been working with the Next Generation and WildFire since 2015.

Technical support is working fine. They have helped us a lot.

We are using Forcepoint, Palo Alto the Next Generation, Cortex, and Panorama.

They are currently working on sandboxing for an on-premises version rather than a subscription for WildFire through the firewall.

The price is a bit higher than the other products such as TrendMicro, or FireEye.

We lost an opportunity where the client chose FireEye for the price.

It's a very good product.

I would rate Palo Alto Networks WildFire and eight out of ten.

It provides the enhancing network and endpoint security for the client through its IDA and IPS system filtering.

The most valuable features are:

• High availability with active-active and active-passive modes.
• Redundant power input for increased reliability.
• Fan-less design.

The data analytical system for deployment needs to improve.

Technical support is excellent, I would rate it a 10/10.

It is quite easy to set up.

The pricing and licensing option should be categorized for various countries such as for Bangladesh.

We looked at Forcepoint NGFW.

Technical support is excellent and it is a promising option.

We are using Palo Alto Networks WildFire as our network firewall.

The solution has helped our company stay secure from the security features it provides.

The solution is easy to use and the Panorama feature is good. The software management or the malware blocking and some authentication management system are good.

When comparing this solution to others it is not as good overall.

I have been using Palo Alto Networks WildFire for approximately one year.

Palo Alto Networks WildFire is a stable solution.

I have found Palo Alto Networks WildFire to be scalable.

We have 10 users that use this solution. We plan to increase usage in the future.

The technical support is good.

I have used other similar solutions, such as HP, Checkpoint, and Fortinet.

The implementation is not difficult and the full process took approximately two days.

We have an internal team that did the implementation of the solution. We do some of the maintenance ourselves but if we have trouble we contact the support.

I rate Palo Alto Networks WildFire a five out of ten.

We are a solution provider and Palo Alto WildFire is one of the products that we implement for our customers. One of the things that we do is design firewalls for companies that need to enhance their security.

The most valuable feature is the improved security that it offers.

The price of WildFire should be reduced in order to make it more affordable for our customers.

Deployment to mobile devices should be easier.

I have not been in contact with technical support, although my colleagues tell me that the experience with them is very good.

Being the solution designer, I do not have experience with the installation and setup process.

Our in-house team is responsible for deployment and maintenance. We have a couple of engineers who are familiar with it.

There is no one product that can give you 100% protection, but Palo Alto WildFire has some good features. Overall, WildFire is a good product and I recommend it.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
