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."
"The technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is how it keeps up-to-date with viruses."
"The platform is scalable as it integrates with other threat prevention modules."
"With this product, we receive the best monitoring and reports.​"
"Their technical support is outstanding and top-notch."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we never faced any issues."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution has plenty of features."
 

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."
"When you contact support, there is no guarantee that they will be available to help you tackle the issue that you are facing."
"The technical support response needs improvement."
"Palo Alto Networks WildFire should be more real-time in nature. The signature updates should happen in a minute or less than a minute to be a very good feature for the customer."
"The system uptime data is unavailable"
"Management and web filtering can be improved. There should also be better reporting, particularly around web filtering."
"The cost of the solution is excessively high."
"There are some formats that the solution cannot support ."
"The system performance degrades after the solution has been deployed for some time. The data that it gives us becomes a little bit slow. When you try to get some data for troubleshooting, it seems like it's working hard to extract that data."
 

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."
"Palo Alto Networks solutions are typically on the higher end of pricing, but considering the value and integration with our existing infrastructure, it is worth the investment."
"It IS a bit expensive, but I think you get what you pay for. Value is there."
"I rate the pricing an eight out of ten since it can be pretty expensive."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"The price is a bit higher than the other products such as TrendMicro, or FireEye."
"This is an expensive product and the market for Palo Alto in Poland could be much bigger if the pricing was comparable to Fortinet."
"The physical appliance is around €3,000 or €4,000, and then, you have the licensing for a year for around €3,000."
"​More expensive than other firewalls.​"
