How was the initial setup?

Since we handled the installation ourselves in our environment, it's really easy for us to install.

It may not be the easiest installation, especially when configuring agents with specific functionalities. But the initial setup is relatively easy. Maintenance is ongoing. It's always required to ensure the system runs smoothly.

What about the implementation team?

The deployment process really depends on the client. It varies based on the complexity of the deployment. Each time is different. It could take anywhere from a few days to a week.

We probably have around six people involved in the process. When it comes to setup, it's all about proper planning and understanding the client's specific needs and requirements for the service.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I would rate pricing a seven out of ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price. We use the annual subscription. There are no additional costs.

What other advice do I have?

I would advise them to explore the extensive features it offers in terms of organization and remediation. It's important to consider its seamless integration with other platforms and the wide range of services and products provided by the company.

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten because the product offers a comprehensive network and cloud solution. We can provide clients with a complete end-to-end solution through a single vendor.

Difficult to set up, doesn't have integrations, and the solution has been decommissioned
Pros and Cons
  • "It was useful as a ticketing tool."
  • "It is been decommissioned by Palo Alto."

What is our primary use case?

It is a help desk ticketing tool. It's a sought platform, however, it is just a help desk ticketing tool.

What is most valuable?

It was useful as a ticketing tool. However, it's been discontinued. 

What needs improvement?

It doesn't have any integrations. It lacks multiple integrations. 

It is been decommissioned by Palo Alto. There's no more trying to support it. There will be no more additional items added.

The initial setup was complex.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for a year or more. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is not there. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I'm not sure how scalable the solution is.

How are customer service and support?

I can't speak to technical support's capabilities. I don't have much experience with them. 

How was the initial setup?

The setup has a bit of complexity. I'd rate the complexity five out of five. 

I'm not sure how long the deployment took.

What other advice do I have?

We were a reseller. 

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using. It might be behind a version or two. Demisto has been purchased by Palo Alto. There's a difference in versions between the organizations. The latest version is not defined by the organization.

Potential users should not purchase this product. They decommissioned the product, and it is now at end of life. 

I'd rate the solution three out of ten. It was sold to another company and decommissioned.
