Palo Alto Networks WildFire Reviews

We are using Palo Alto Networks WildFire as our network firewall.

The solution has helped our company stay secure from the security features it provides.

The solution is easy to use and the Panorama feature is good. The software management or the malware blocking and some authentication management system are good.

When comparing this solution to others it is not as good overall.

I have been using Palo Alto Networks WildFire for approximately one year.

Palo Alto Networks WildFire is a stable solution.

I have found Palo Alto Networks WildFire to be scalable.

We have 10 users that use this solution. We plan to increase usage in the future.

The technical support is good.

I have used other similar solutions, such as HP, Checkpoint, and Fortinet.

The implementation is not difficult and the full process took approximately two days.

We have an internal team that did the implementation of the solution. We do some of the maintenance ourselves but if we have trouble we contact the support.

I rate Palo Alto Networks WildFire a five out of ten.

The backup is the best feature. It is better than with other firewalls. 

The cost of the solution is excessively high. 

I have been using Palo Alto Networks WildFire for more than four years. I would say five or six years. 

The solution is overpriced. 

We use the solution in our company.

The product is the best. It is superb.

I rate Palo Alto Networks WildFire as a nine out of ten. 

We are a solution provider and Palo Alto WildFire is one of the products that we implement for our customers. One of the things that we do is design firewalls for companies that need to enhance their security.

The most valuable feature is the improved security that it offers.

The price of WildFire should be reduced in order to make it more affordable for our customers.

Deployment to mobile devices should be easier.

I have not been in contact with technical support, although my colleagues tell me that the experience with them is very good.

Being the solution designer, I do not have experience with the installation and setup process.

Our in-house team is responsible for deployment and maintenance. We have a couple of engineers who are familiar with it.

There is no one product that can give you 100% protection, but Palo Alto WildFire has some good features. Overall, WildFire is a good product and I recommend it.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

I think they should lower the price of this solution. They are losing customers because the price is too high. 

The deployment model could be better.

WildFire is quite unknown in my country. They should develop a better system for teaching their customers how to use this solution and its features.

The technical support is good; they provide good service.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of nine. I would like to give it a ten, but nobody's perfect.

I use WildFire mostly for customers, especially when they ask about firewalls. We recommend Palo Alto, FortiGate, Check Point, and then a customer decides what is the best firewall for their tasks. 

I generally recommend WildFire for telecom companies, banks, supermarkets, or any company which has its own IT infrastructure.

It provides threat intelligence that supports customers' proactive defense strategies. If a customer has an updated database of signatures or behavior, it is useful for their protection.

The features depend on the file format. For Windows, there is one set of features, and for Linux binaries, it is another. All sandboxes basically work with new binaries for Linux or macOS since they are not able to emulate behavior, and they are unable to analyze what code snippets or what behavior is malicious for binaries.

Improving detection on non-Windows formats would be beneficial as there are many samples, such as Linux or ransomware for macOS. Enhancing detection in these areas would be great.

I have been familiar with WildFire for two to three years, but it depends on the customer because it can be rather periodic.

I have files tickets and their support was great. I was able to solve the problems of my customers.

Positive

I have interacted with Microsoft Box and some online sandboxes.

Generally speaking, it is hard to analyze ROI since no one in Ukraine did analytics on sandbox networks.

It is hard to say because there is a significant difference between some European countries and Ukraine in the ability to buy expensive products. European countries may not find it a huge problem to spend $10,000, however, it is a significant issue for Ukrainian companies, especially given the current situation with war.

I use any online sandbox which is allowed to be public and frequently check malicious files in virus or sandboxes, including virus total information.

I would recommend improving detection in non-Windows formats. Currently, scripts like PHP scripts, Bash scripts, and other issues not related to Windows rank much worse.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
