Find out in this report how the two Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The integration is a valuable feature."
"The number of the IPS protections is amazing - after the latest update I see more than 11000 in the SmartConsole."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its detection panel. Managing and updating policies within Check Point IPS is easy and without issues. It provides a secure network."
"IPS signatures can be set quite granularly depending on your environment. You can filter on performance impact, severity, and confidence which makes sizing and adapting easier."
"We are able to define our own rules for detection."
"It is also worth noting that many IPS signature comes with detailed background about the vulnerability, and potentially how the vulnerability would affect the network security."
"IPS can protect our organization with any old vulnerabilities or if any vulnerability detected minutes ago IPS can protect us as per our configured policy."
"The Check Point IPS module allows me granularity in creating rules."
"I find the malware protection very handy."
"With the IP address flag, I was able to see that I was being hacked. The moment there was an interaction between somebody on my network and that IP, the solution was able to flag it, and we were able to protect ourselves."
"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."
"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."
"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."

"The installation documentation has room for improvement."
"I hear from my admin that the firmware upgrade process is quite cumbersome."
"It is generally good, but improving the performance would be the one thing I'd take a look at right now."
"The price has room for improvement."
"We have a lot of false positives and the list of IPs are not up to date in terms of their location."
"The only thing they could maybe improve is that we notice right away that the performance decreases when we enable the IPS, especially beyond the CPU and memory usage. If you want to enable the IPS and you have a lot of traffic, it can have an impact. The performance could be improved."
"I would like to have the possibility of adding features to this IPS solution in the future."
"The application’s pricing and dashboard need improvement. It could be user-friendly."
"Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention could improve the commercial offing. Other solutions, such as Fortinet provide better commercial features."
"The documentation needs to be improved. I need better information about how to configure it and what the best practices are."
"The technology firewall anomaly network could stand improvement."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The cost involves the price of the hardware, which is expensive. However, most of the Palo Alto solutions are expensive."
"Mission learning techniques should continue to expand and detect unknown threats on the fly."
"Sometimes when you want to group a set of ports, and communicate with Palo Alto, you cannot group TCP and UDP ports together. This needs to be adjusted."
