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.

Reliable product with efficient endpoint detection capabilities
Overall, Trend Micro Deep Discovery has proven to be a reliable solution that enhances our security posture while minimizing operational disruptions. Regular updates and improvements can further solidify its effectiveness in various IT environments. The endpoint detection capabilities are particularly effective, especially in identifying malware and antivirus threats. Integration with our existing systems was straightforward, requiring minimal effort beyond configuring IP addresses. I rate it an eight out of ten. There is always room for improvement in any product or service. Given the current market conditions, with new technologies and emerging threats, it's essential to implement updates and enhancements continuously. It ensures that the product remains effective against new challenges. Despite its robust features and reliable support, no solution is perfect, and that's why there is always potential for further improvement. This ongoing need for innovation and adaptation is why I rated it an 8, reserving the remaining points for future enhancements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For those who want a next-gen firewall that's easy to configure and easy to operate, I think you should go for Palo Alto."
"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."
"I find the malware protection very handy."
"The most valuable features are the simplicity, transparency, and overall ease of management."
"The application control and vulnerability protection are the most valuable features."
"Edge protection is a valuable feature."
"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."
"It's a monster, it's got so many beautiful features. We do deal with other firewalls and we've got a better idea of what other firewalls' capabilities are, any comparison with the Palo Alto I liked the quality of service on the applications that you can control the amount of bandwidth an application is allowed to consume. The best feature is the quality of the application quality of service."
"One of the most valuable features is the performance, since, so far, we have not faced any issues with Deep Discovery."
"The HTML file sandboxing is very good."
"The solution has extension-based features that help it to analyze the environment. The environment can have different platforms like Windows, Linux, and Mac. The tool will give a report which can confirm the analysis of the issues. You can also get clear information on threats or suspicious files."
"I like the sales operations testing. and support."
"Generally speaking, it just gives us a broad understanding of exactly what kind of threats occur. The submission point, analyzing point, and virtualization are within the environment that it supports. It helped us to improve our security levels and protect our internal network from any threats outside."
"The most valuable features are the protection and that it is fast."
"The product's initial setup phase was not difficult."
"The product is very easy to install."
 

Cons

"Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention could improve the commercial offing. Other solutions, such as Fortinet provide better commercial features."
"In Africa, the technical support is probably not as good as in Europe and the USA because it's a specific premium support, partner-enabled premium support and all of that. But it's really good, I don't really have any complaints, it's fairly good. I'll give them 80%."
"The documentation needs to be improved. I need better information about how to configure it and what the best practices are."
"The installation was complicated."
"The solution needs to improve its local technical support services. There is no premium support offered in our market."
"The initial setup is complex."
"We are attempting to improve the use of URL filtering beyond threat protection."
"The technology firewall anomaly network could stand improvement."
"The solution should support multiple platforms in Windows, Linux, and Mac. Customers can have different software types. The virtual environment should be able to install and analyze them. The tool also gives only a minimum level of extension support. It may not be able to extract files and give details about them. I would also like to see third-party product integration in the tool. The solution's current integration is only with Trend Micro products only."
"The solution needs improvement in terms of pricing."
"The product's security features need enhancement."
"The stability of the solution could be improved. It should be 100% stable, but it's not there right now."
