We performed a comparison between KerioControl and Palo Alto Networks Advanced Threat Prevention based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."I have found the most valuable features of Kerio Control to be the IPS and firewall."
"Setup is simple. The Kerio interface is very intuitive."
"Kerio Control can be scaled easily."
"The flexibility of the system, the capacity to provide the right level of security, and the ability to be integrated into different kinds of infrastructures are the most valuable features."
"It prevents people from visiting undesirable sites and ensures that they use the internet for their designated jobs."
"The solution provides feasibility regarding cyber privacy."
"The firewall appliance itself is the most valuable feature."
"It has helped our organization with testing."
"Most of the features of Palo Alto Threat Prevention are alright. I recommend features like content filtering, IP address, & intelligent firewalls. The reporting feature is very good."
"The most valuable features are that it's user-friendly, has interesting features, URL filtering, and threat prevention."
"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."
"The sandboxing tools offer great prevention for cloud feeds."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features is the anti-malware protection."
"The application control and vulnerability protection are the most valuable features."
"Everything has been okay with the solution. We are using all of the features."
"The overall speed needs improvement. Internet connectivity speed needs to be improved somehow."
"Kerio Control could improve content filtering."
"Kerio Control has just improved on their biggest problem, which was to introduce better support for high-availability requirements in production."
"There isn't a lot to be improved. It works well as it is, but they can maybe improve the reporting side."
"The one thing that did put me off of the solution was that, after they were taken over by GFI, the licensing and a few other items have gotten very complicated."
"They don't provide content filtering when it comes to search engine results. We had an incident on the network where a blocked site was showing up in search results. We are in a school environment, so we have blocked a site with some of the explicit content so that kids wouldn't see it. When one of them did a search, the results came on the search engine part. When you try to drill down to the website, it blocks, but when you search by image, it brings up all the images. That's one of the reasons why we are looking at Juniper."
"The trial duration of the product should be extended."
"I would like to be able to automatically send email from Kerio Control and have it tell me what my external IPs are, because on one of my lines I have a fixed IP address and on the other it is variable. If there were a permanent way for me to figure out, "Okay, my current external VPN and my firm IP is this," it would help. I need to know the IP address to connect with the VPN and, at the moment, one of the lines sometimes changes its IP address without me knowing it. It's a hassle to figure out what it is."
"Mission learning techniques should continue to expand and detect unknown threats on the fly."
"Generally, to deploy it will take some downtime, about a day."
"The technology firewall anomaly network could stand improvement."
"Palo Alto's maintenance needs to be improved."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the only thing I don't like is the support."
"Right now we are focusing on email. If Palo Alto can increase the features related to email filtering and the new malware, it would help us protect our systems."
"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."
"Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention could improve the commercial offing. Other solutions, such as Fortinet provide better commercial features."
