Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks WildFire is its ability to adapt to environments and its robustness."
"Stability is never a concern."
"The solution has plenty of features."
"With this product, we receive the best monitoring and reports.​"
"The most valuable feature is the Automatic Verdict, to recognize whether something is a threat, or not."
"The analysis is very fast."
"It gives a more accurate assessment of a virus in terms of whether it's truly a virus, malware, or a false positive. We have some legacy software that could pop up as being something that is malware. WildFire goes through and inspects it, and then it comes back and lets us know if it's a false positive. Usually, when it finds out that it's not a virus, it lets us know that it's benign, and it can exclude it from that scan, which means I don't even have to worry about that one popping up anymore."
"The tool's installation, integration, and playbooks are very straightforward."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and the ability to customize it."
"The product automatically generated a threat score based on the maliciousness of an IP."
"ThreatConnect has a highly user-friendly interface."
"It's a solid platform and is stable enough. It is not complicated and is easy to use."
 

Cons

"They can keep on doing more updates. As new malware and viruses are coming out, they can make sure that WildFire is up to date."
"The technical support response needs improvement."
"The deployment model could be better."
"The cost of the solution is excessively high."
"The price of WildFire should be reduced in order to make it more affordable for our customers."
"When comparing this solution to others it is not as good overall."
"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 free version does not have real-time updates. It is slow."
"Integration is an area that could use some improvement."
"I couldn’t get any training videos online when I was working with the tool."
"They should make it a little bit easier to generate events and share them with the community"
"It would be good to have more feeds and more integrated sources for enrichment."
"Support is an area with which nobody is ever fully satisfied, so it can be improved."
