Technical Manager at PSR
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.

CTO at systema
High fidelity cyber incident detection is near in real-time, enabling proactive & timely mitigation efforts
The nature of the system means it has to be implemented throughout the organizations. You need to implement it on the network layer, the email layer, the web proxy layer, and also the endpoints. Nevertheless, endpoint monitoring is very challenging due to the lack of automated method to install the endpoint agents. In one of our customer case, we have about 40,000 endpoints and we need to have a simplified method of deployment if we're going to implement the endpoint monitoring effectively. Product features also need some improvement in creating custom signatures for detection because that is not open to customers.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I would rate Palo Alto Networks AutoFocus a ten out of ten."
"It's a very good solution, it identifies critical attacks and alerts you."
"The logs play a crucial role as they contribute to blocking unwanted Internet traffic."
"The most valuable feature is alerting."
"Palo Alto Networks AutoFocus has had a positive impact on my company as we can reduce the cost for the SOC investment, and we can also get good feedback on how to strengthen our network from the expertise people available."
"It integrates well with other solutions and provides good threat intelligence in terms of external threats."
"It is very easy to install and set up AutoFocus."
"The feature that I like best is the dashboard."
"The product has significantly reduced the mean time to detect (MTTD) and allows us to see cyber attacks in near real time so that response time is much quicker and prioritized, closing the gap and saving the bank a lot of money because cyber incidents can be proactively prevented and mitigation can be carried out much earlier."
"Great automatic correlation of all internal activities."
 

Cons

"I would like the tool to see more integration with Cortex XDR. There is no real reason to keep them separate."
"Palo Alto Networks AutoFocus is not affordable."
"There were one or two instances where firewalls were not getting the threat intelligence feeds."
"I would like to have more technical documentation that contains greater detail on the types of threats that are occurring."
"It must be on-premises as well; it must have a server on-premises. It is a completely cloud-based product at present."
"It would be helpful to have better documentation for configuring and installing the solution."
"It would be better if they used the threat intelligence feeds directly from their side and changing the verdict instead of us requesting it."
"Monitoring the endpoint could be improved, it requires a huge effort."
"Because the system requires an appliance, reliability and stability can become an issue because we are looking at network point of failure and at the OS point of failure as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is reasonably priced."
"It is expensive."
