"It is a scalable solution."
"We use ESET, which is pretty much perfect for us. It is also absolutely simple and automatic once setup."
"It rarely gets in the way, and we don't even notice it scanning."
"Advanced level endpoint firewall, which helps to block unwanted and malicious traffic."
"I find the main valuable feature to be the antivirus, it is very effective with removing viruses."
"It can scale as well."
"The dashboard is useful for management, and its cost for the features is hard to beat."
"It gives a more accurate assessment of a virus in terms of whether it's truly a virus, malware, or a false positive. We have some legacy software that could pop up as being something that is malware. WildFire goes through and inspects it, and then it comes back and lets us know if it's a false positive. Usually, when it finds out that it's not a virus, it lets us know that it's benign, and it can exclude it from that scan, which means I don't even have to worry about that one popping up anymore."
"For example, if a security Intel threat talks about an IOC. We can then go to our MSP and say, "Is there a signature for this particular type of malware that just came out?" And if they'll say yes, then we'll say, "Okay. Does it apply to these firewalls? And have we seen any hits on it?" There's absolutely value in it."
"The solution has plenty of features."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"We get support in the free version."
"Scalable ATP solution that's quick to set up. It demonstrates good performance and stability."
"High availability with active-active and active-passive modes."
"With this product, we receive the best monitoring and reports."
"The scalability could be better."
"They could improve the solution by adding better ransomware features."
"We'd like the solution to be a next generation antivirus with some sort of artificial intelligence or machine learning angle."
"Data Leak Protection is is what we are searching for at the moment. It is not included with ESET."
"The solution could have a more user-friendly interface."
"I've had a few other instances where the program stops running, and then you have to restore and reset it."
"It can be hard to set up if you need to customize it."
"ESET should consider giving it application control."
"As a firewall and 360 degrees of security, there needs to be more maturity."
"It's not really their problem, it's a problem across the board. There will always be problems with interrupted traffic. We have to set it up where we're playing a middle man game where we're stripping it out, looking at it, and then putting it back together and sending it on its way. That requires CPU cycles. And there's some overhead with that."
"The system performance degrades after the solution has been deployed for some time. The data that it gives us becomes a little bit slow. When you try to get some data for troubleshooting, it seems like it's working hard to extract that data."
"The cost of this solution could still be improved, in particular, giving product discounts for charitable causes."
"Palo Alto Networks WildFire should be more real-time in nature. The signature updates should happen in a minute or less than a minute to be a very good feature for the customer."
"They provide a medium level of technical support."
"The product fails to offer protection when dealing with high-severity vulnerabilities, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Palo Alto Networks WildFire could improve by adding support for manual submission of suspicious files and URLs. Additionally, it would be an advantage to add rule-based analysis. Currently, it uses only static and AI. We need to be able to analyze archive files."
