Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, ESET and others in Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)."Being an application-based firewall, this is one of the critical focus factors along with the threat prevention services it provides."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Whole team can use the firewall and understand it."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"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."
"Their technical support is outstanding and top-notch."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"It has a dynamic runtime engine, which gives it an advantage over Prisma that has a static engine. In Prisma, we have to do additional malware analysis, which is not required in Proofpoint."
"Any enhancements should likely be focused on the firewall appliance to further strengthen overall security capabilities, such as refining app and user identity features."
"The only complaint that we receive from our customers is in regards to the price."
"I would like to see them continue on their developmental roadmap for the product."
"Management and web filtering can be improved. There should also be better reporting, particularly around web filtering."
"The data analytical system for deployment needs to improve."
"The configuration should be made a little bit easier. I understand why it is as it is, but there should be a way to make it easier from the user side."
"The size of Palo Alto's cloud is big but it could be easier to use from a product management perspective."
"The global product feature needs improvement, the VPN, and we need some enhanced features."
"We are using the TRAP console that has a Linux-based UI, which is not user-friendly. The TAP console looks very advanced. Currently, we are maintaining three different consoles, and it is sometimes hard to switch between them or try to grab the data."
