Good baseline features and mapping but the GUI is dated
I primarily use the solution for many use cases.  We've delivered many clients' compliance solutions. It's helped with suggesting compliance, including HIPAA, ISO, et cetera. It suggested what we need to do at the device level, whether endpoint or network. It also helps manage and monitor changes,…

Robust, reliable, simple to install and good technical support
We are attempting to improve the use of URL filtering beyond threat protection. I'm not sure what the remaining threat protection features are off the top of my head. But beyond that, we use URL filtering. We have three approved cases for using external dynamic lists that are stored in a bucket repository. Then, for each URL site that needs to be whitelisted, we add it to the external dynamic list in order to gain access to this email. I would like Wildfire to be implemented. We use the equivalent in Cisco is the integration policies. We have the Wildfire but we are not currently implementing it. We don't have the license to use it, but we are not currently implementing it until we present the use cases that the company gives some value to and they approve the use of it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product supports different platforms."
"File monitoring is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"What's most valuable in Tripwire Enterprise is the ability to execute custom COCR rules that lets me fine-tune how I monitor Linux and Windows agents."
"The most valuable feature is the integrity."
"The most valuable feature is integrity management. I had some discussions with service providers, and they also agreed."
"Its reporting features are great. It gives you an in-depth report. Its customization is also great, and it is working fine."
"We use Tripwire Enterprise as a tool to test the vulnerability of a network. That is the most valuable feature of the product for us."
"Even if you change a single word in Notepad, it will let you know whether it was added, removed, or modified."
"Most of the features of Palo Alto Threat Prevention are alright. I recommend features like content filtering, IP address, & intelligent firewalls. The reporting feature is very good."
"I find the malware protection very handy."
"It's very easy to use and configure. What is nice about Palo Alto is that even if you don't understand how to use it, you can just click on upload and upload everything that needs to be blocked."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's quite easy. Deployment took one to two weeks."
"Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention is the market leader as far as security gateways and endpoint protection. Additionally, the threat database that is used is one of the best."
"One of the most valuable features is the anti-malware protection."
"Edge protection is a valuable feature."
"I like the solution's interface."
 

Cons

"Cloud monitoring could be better. It would also be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model."
"A lot of network devices need a custom integration."
"The main way that it can be improved is through better reporting."
"It needs more local support from the OEM side. It would be great if this can be improved."
"The Windows online integration license needs to be improved."
"An area for improvement in Tripwire Enterprise is stability, as my company had stability issues with the last few versions of the solution. Tripwire Enterprise has been a bit buggy."
"The deployment with certain systems can be difficult and it needs to be simplified."
"The initial setup is complex."
"We are attempting to improve the use of URL filtering beyond threat protection."
"The price of licenses should be lowered to make it less costly to scale our solution."
"The technology firewall anomaly network could stand improvement."
"Generally, to deploy it will take some downtime, about a day."
"Right now we are focusing on email. If Palo Alto can increase the features related to email filtering and the new malware, it would help us protect our systems."
"I think they can use some improvement on FID."
"The application’s pricing and dashboard need improvement. It could be user-friendly."
"The pricing has improved with the newer generation of their Firewalls, but the price could always be lower. In comparison with other solutions, I believe they're quite competitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cloud monitoring could be better. It could also be cheaper. It would be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model."
"The licensing depends on the equipment, how many devices and the types of devices."
"Tripwire is more expensive than Netwrix."

"Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention could improve by having consistent pricing at system levels."
"It is an expensive solution and I would like to see a drop in price."

"It's not too expensive."
"The pricing has improved with the newer generation of their Firewalls, but the price could always be lower."
