We performed a comparison between Palo Alto Networks VM-Series and Palo Alto Networks WildFire based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two ATP (Advanced Threat Protection) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The VM-Series reports how much bandwidth a particular IP is using. You don't need to regularly log into a website, like a Cisco command, to see what kind of ACL it's getting. There isn't an ACL use portal event. You can go there and see how much my ACL has been getting me."
"Palo Alto’s Panorama centralized management system simplifies our security posture based on our requirements. Instead of manually pulling logs, then generating them into readable formats, it gives us the console in a readable format to view."
"Palo Alto Networks VM-Series is easy to maintain...From a security point of view, I find Palo Alto Networks VM-Series to be a better product compared to the other solutions in the market."
"Centralized management is valuable because it allows us to configure settings in one location and apply them across all three locations."
"Palo Alto Networks VM-Series's most valuable feature is the visibility of the environment."
"Palo Alto Networks VM-Series has everything centralized. You have the VPN solution, firewall, routing, UDR, flexibility, updates, and full visibility of your traffic."
"I like the UI. Most things are accessible from the user interface and it is quite user-friendly. With respect to both VM-based firewalls and physical firewalls, it's easy to create updates."
"With the improved visibility we now have, the traffic is being properly monitored, which means that we are better able to manage it. These are improvements that we saw very quickly."
"A good tool for file scanning and email threat detection, especially when it comes to attachments and communications."
"I give the initial setup an eight out of ten."
"Stability is never a concern."
"The solution is scalable."
"We have found that Palo Alto Networks WildFire is scalable. We currently have six thousand users for the product."
"The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks WildFire is its ability to adapt to environments and its robustness."
"It is the best device in comparison to other network products in the marketplace."
"We get support in the free version."
"Recently, they introduced their Prisma Cloud solution. Compared to the previous technologies, like Panorama, which is used for centralized firewall management, or even the individual firewalls, it's a bit challenging to integrate the traditional firewall policies into Prisma Cloud."
"There's room for improvement in terms of integration with the load balancer. It isn't like Fortinet, which has a load balancer built into its firewall. It is effortless to integrate within the load balancer-plus-firewall solution."
"Palo Alto Networks VM-Series needs to improve its order process."
"With Palo Alto Networks VM-Series, it is hard for me to manage its network configuration part."
"The product could be better in terms of performance than one of its competitors."
"The utilization monitoring and GUI have room for improvement."
"There could be dynamic DNS features similar to Fortinet in the product."
"The product's AIOps process needs improvement."
"They can keep on doing more updates. As new malware and viruses are coming out, they can make sure that WildFire is up to date."
"The price could be better."
"The cost of this solution could still be improved, in particular, giving product discounts for charitable causes."
"In the future, Palo Alto could reduce the time it takes to process the file."
"The cyber security visibility and forensics features to receive more information about incidents could improve in Palo Alto Networks WildFire."
"In terms of what I'd like to see in the next release of Palo Alto Networks WildFire, each release is based on malware that has been identified. The key problem is an average of six months from the time malware is written to the time it's discovered and a signature is created for it. The only advice that I can give is for them to shorten that timeframe. I don't know how they would do it, but if they shorten that, for example, cut it in half, they'll make themselves more famous."
"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."
"The free version does not have real-time updates. It is slow."
