Easy and quick credential monitoring; tech support could be improved
Currently, we are not using any other solution for this use case, but previously we used MISP, which is an open-source project that requires a lot of effort to make work. That way, it required a lot of attention from our system administrator, and we had to sanitize the data very frequently because the peers we had. Sometimes they flooded our systems with chunk data and that needs to be handled and we decided to go with a paid solution instead.

Enhanced cybersecurity with advanced sandboxing and effective in controlling DNS issues
Improvements are needed in the UI part. The dashboard should provide better visibility, especially in showing how many files are sent to Wildfire and their findings. This information should be integrated with the Dashboard so that system admins can see what is happening. Furthermore, technical support needs a lot of improvement, particularly in terms of responsiveness and adhering to service level agreements.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The feature I have found most valuable is credential monitoring. This feature is easy and quick."
"I have found Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) very useful and concise. The solution is easy to use."
"We have found that Palo Alto Networks WildFire is scalable. We currently have six thousand users for the product."
"I have files tickets and their support was great. I was able to solve the problems of my customers."
"With this product, we receive the best monitoring and reports.​"
"The solution is scalable."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The reporting feature helps our performance."
"I give the initial setup an eight out of ten."
"WildFire's application encryption is useful."
 

Cons

"A lot of tools can give you many features, such as CTI intelligence and a tax service reduction. However, many people are combining different tools together to have more capabilities. It is up to the consumer whether they want to have multiple tools or have one tool that serves the purpose. Anomali Enterprise could improve by combining all the other tools' features into one solution."
"Less code in integration would be nice when building blocks."
"In the future, I would like to see more automation in the reporting."
"It would be nice if there was an easier way to install and deploy it, such as through the inclusion of wizards."
"The support is good but they could be faster."
"In terms of what I'd like to see in the next release of Palo Alto Networks WildFire, each release is based on malware that has been identified. The key problem is an average of six months from the time malware is written to the time it's discovered and a signature is created for it. The only advice that I can give is for them to shorten that timeframe. I don't know how they would do it, but if they shorten that, for example, cut it in half, they'll make themselves more famous."
"The product's user interface for investigations needs enhancement."
"The only complaint that we receive from our customers is in regards to the price."
"Perhaps an anti-spam feature could be considered."
"Improvements are needed in the UI part."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing the price of Anomali Enterprise to other solutions it is in the medium to high range. However, I am satisfied with the price."
"It's comparable to what the competition is. It is probably a little lesser than what the competition is because, as a state government, we go for whatever the lowest cost is."
"It depends on the features. Additional features cost additional money as well."
"The price is expensive but is reasonable considering overall functionality."
"The solution is a bit expensive. You pay for security."
"The price of the Palo Alto Networks WildFire license is expensive. When it came time to renew the solution the price doubled."
"It's pretty expensive but with respect to value for money, it's okay."
"The solution is worth its price"
"WildFire is a little bit pricey. Sometimes it's difficult to sell it to customers at the current price."
