All the PwC offices in Pakistan use Palo Alto in their environment. It is a global solution.

Palo Alto is a good product. The features are up to the mark. No other product can compete with Palo Alto’s features. The filtering feature is good. We can block the traffic and examine the report easily. The blocking functionality works very well compared to other firewalls. I rate the ability of the tool to keep up with the trends in firewalls an eight out of ten.

The product must create some awareness in Pakistan. People are less aware of Palo Alto. Everyone knows about Fortinet and Cisco. Very few vendors are promoting the tool.

I have been using the solution for four to five years.

The stability is fine. I rate the stability a seven out of ten.

I rate the product’s scalability an eight out of ten. We have 2500 users. We use the tool daily. All our traffic passes through it.

I rate the ease of setup a seven out of ten. The setup is moderately easy. The product is deployed on the cloud. The deployment takes two to three days since it has global rules.

The tool was deployed in-house.

We have seen an ROI of 60% to 70%.

Companies in Pakistan have limited budgets. Palo Alto is more expensive than other products. So, people are reluctant to put Palo Alto in their environment. It's too costly compared to other tools. I rate the pricing a nine out of ten.

We had deployed the solution in 2018. We used a different product before, but my organization switched to Palo Alto. It was the management’s decision. Overall, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

The tool's most valuable feature is its collaboration with other products. Integrating with other security products was simple and easy. 

The tool's configuration can be made easier.

I have been using the product for a year. 

I rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten. 

Trend Micro Deep Discovery is scalable. My company has more than 1000 users. 

I haven't contacted technical support yet. I use the tool's documentation. 

I've also had experience using Cisco products. However, I found that Cisco's solutions can be quite expensive. Additionally, the integration between their various products tends to be more complex than Trend Micro Deep Discovery. One significant advantage of Trend Micro Deep Discovery is its centralized console, which allows us to manage almost all their products from a single location.

My company has ten technical staff for Trend Micro Deep Discovery. 

Trend Micro Deep Discovery can cover all security requirements. I rate it a seven out of ten.
