Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, ESET and others in Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)."We have found that Palo Alto Networks WildFire is scalable. We currently have six thousand users for the product."
"WildFire's application encryption is useful."
"Intuitive threat prevention and analysis solution, with a machine learning feature. Scalable, stable, and protects against zero-day threats."
"Scalable ATP solution that's quick to set up. It demonstrates good performance and stability."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"Remote access is excellent."
"They have many different options with Palo Alto WildFire and the set-up is quick. If you have all the details in hand, it does not take more than 15 minutes to deploy a firewall."
"I give the initial setup an eight out of ten."
"We use it to monitor and manage our servers."
"The most valuable feature is the support for monitoring Cisco switches."
"I like being able to use proxy servers for different locations. The agents are pretty cool. They're easy to roll out. The standard out-of-the-box templates are also pretty easy to use. The integration with other learning products is also good. I have, in the past, used Slack, but we've integrated it with Microsoft Teams. We also use it for SMS with a service called Redcoat. It is very flexible. It does what I need it to do, and my manager is very happy because it doesn't cost anything. We are nearing 4,000 hosts inside Zabbix, and we've got another 6,000 access points to add to it. We've thrown everything at it, and it has managed to keep going. I am very impressed with the tool, and I'd shake their hand very hard if I got to say the compliments to the Zabbix team. They keep improving it and doing refreshes, which is one good thing about it. There is also online information as well as books that you can purchase if you're willing to read enough. There is a lot to pick up, but it is a pretty complete solution."
"Health and communication links availability."
"It not only provides the preconfigured item monitoring feature, but it is also easy to configure custom items."
"Zabbix is good for discovery."
"Zabbix can use old data to current data to set the threshold. We can use previous data to set the threshold."
"The solution's design has recently changed and it is visually pleasing with more color, for example, there is blue, black, and white."
"The global product feature needs improvement, the VPN, and we need some enhanced features."
"Many years back an update caused an issue with the firewall. However, Palo Alto not only informed us of said issue, they also sent an update that fixed the issue before I even had time to log in to determine if the issue affected our services."
"The free version does not have real-time updates. It is slow."
"When comparing this solution to others it is not as good overall."
"The initial setup was a little bit complex, mainly due to the GUI console and management challenges."
"High availability features are lacking."
"The only complaint that we receive from our customers is in regards to the price."
"The price could be better."
"One of the things we don't like is that Zabbix has a license structure with a price that is high compared to the competition. It's very high, for example, compared to something like Microsoft Teams."
"I would like for this solution to be more cloud-friendly."
"The product could be more secure and more stable."
"The GUI could be more intuitive. Also, we'd like streaming telemetry. Zabbix might have this feature, but I haven't seen it yet. It took us a long time to get started because the documentation isn't very descriptive. We had to go through various sources like YouTube and forums to get this solution working."
"In the next release, I'm hoping for features targeted towards larger users with more customizable options. Despite this, I think pre-canned reports that can be used straight out of the box would be beneficial rather than having to configure each report individually. Additionally, a deeper dive into software configurations on the machines would be useful, although I understand there may be challenges in implementing this due to scripting requirements. More documentation would also be appreciated."
"Zabbix isn't a great tool for cloud-specific monitoring - its connection to public clouds needs to be improved. Other areas for improvement would be the lack of dashboards and integrations."
"The performance reporting could be improved."
"The server monitoring could be better."
