Peter Nowak - PeerSpot reviewer
Quick response and reliable restoration enhance security operations
If the language barrier was addressed, it would lower the barrier for a number of German customers. It would take away a unique selling point for our own specialist managed service. I'm a bit hesitant, however, this would improve the product or the offering. Detection time already is very quick. The completeness of the offering was integrating more data. I am discussing with a customer who wishes to include identity data. Detecting early when someone tries to compromise your ID would be a nice feature.
MohammedSirajuddin - PeerSpot reviewer
Flexible and reduces IT operations but requires local data sovereignty and competitive pricing
I prefer having local data sovereignty. It would be advantageous for Palo Alto to have local data centers across different countries to adhere to this requirement. I also have a concern regarding pricing, which is perceived as high compared to competitors. Improvements should focus on response times and reducing the time taken to reach solutions.
