Roy - PeerSpot reviewer
Security Specialty at a tech company with 10,001+ employees
Great at showcasing vulnerabilities, excellent at providing alerts, and offers very good technical support
You need to know how to work with your assets and put the right items in place. The solution still has false positives, The solution is pretty expensive :O) We did have a few bugs in the beginning, when we first used the solution. However, those have since been resolved. I would like it if there was more visibility and insights about what's going on with ransomware all over the internet. IntSights is not 100% following the critical ransomware and the critical items over the internet. However, everyone is afraid to get hit by ransomware. They are not there yet in terms of really covering that style of attack. I'd like to see more from them.

Provides valuable threat monitoring with robust features but needs improvements in service integration
As a partner with Palo Alto Networks, my email is Sarvajit at bsrgroup.in. My job title is Technical Manager. I confirm that we will publish these reviews on peerspot.com in written or audio format, which can be available to other people, but I can stay anonymous if I wish, and I will get notifications, while the use of the review is subject to PeerSpot's terms of use, accessible at peerspot.com/tos. If Palo Alto has questions or comments about my reviews, they can reach me via email to confirm something. I am interested in being a reference for Palo Alto. The solution is also for enterprise customers only. I see some AI capabilities, such as machine learning, integrated into Palo Alto Networks AutoFocus. ML is present along with behavior analysis, and that is common among all the OEMs nowadays. On a scale from one to ten, I rate this solution a six.
