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."Kerio has improved my organization's security."
"It has helped our organization with testing."
"All of the features of Kerio Control are equally good. Most valuable to us are the firewall rules, the intrusion detection system, and IP address features."
"When one of the employees of my customers is using the VPN Client, I have created for them that they will always get a message. When the VPN Client connects to Kerio Control from the outside, they will get an email so they know when they are connected and when they are disconnected what is happening to their network."
"The most valuable feature is to provide users with the ability to log in to the portal page, keep track of their data usage and perform bandwidth management."
"It prevents people from visiting undesirable sites and ensures that they use the internet for their designated jobs."
"The reporting needs to be improved. It is hard to get a domain."
"The firewall and intrusion detection features are very useful these days because hackers have a lot of tricks that they use to get into a system. With Kerio Control you can see something that's happening. Otherwise, you have to use other tools to see what's happening on the firewalls. Having IPS in it is quite useful for us."
"We are currently using the URL filtering feature, which is the most popular."
"The most valuable features are that it's user-friendly, has interesting features, URL filtering, and threat prevention."
"You can scale the product."
"The user interface is a bit more professional than some free products."
"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."
"I find the malware protection very handy."
"The sandboxing tools offer great prevention for cloud feeds."
"I like the solution's interface."
"My experience with the solutions technical support is fine but they could be faster in responding."
"The comprehensiveness of the security features could be improved upon. However, for the most part, it is pretty good. They could add more logs. I would like to see more detailed reporting, custom reporting from the logs, and more of a streamlined interface for certain aspects."
"The upgrades make the network slower."
"The antivirus seemed to be a bit laggy on the connection so I disconnected that. It's definitely good. The only issue we've had with any sort of cyber attack seemed to be coming from a couple of distinct locations, people trying to get into known ports on remote desktops and stuff like that. The fact that we can block all that traffic is just great. It simplifies it."
"I would like to see them develop a bit more flexibility creating VLANs."
"The Kerio hardware devices look cheap and could be improved. Some of our clients are switching to Sophos because their hardware has a more sleek design."
"I would like for them to add more security features."
"I would like for there to be a difference between international and national links."
"In Africa, the technical support is probably not as good as in Europe and the USA because it's a specific premium support, partner-enabled premium support and all of that. But it's really good, I don't really have any complaints, it's fairly good. I'll give them 80%."
"The application’s pricing and dashboard need improvement. It could be user-friendly."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the only thing I don't like is the support."
"The organization mail security solutions could be improved. There is no mail security solution available."
"The installation was complicated."
"The solution needs to improve its local technical support services. There is no premium support offered in our market."
"Generally, to deploy it will take some downtime, about a day."
"The documentation needs to be improved. I need better information about how to configure it and what the best practices are."
