What advice do you have for others considering Palo Alto Networks WildFire?

Integration with third-party products is possible. For example, connecting a mail gateway with Palo Alto Networks WildFire allows them to handle prevention. Palo Alto Networks WildFire is a cloud-based sandboxing solution. The firewall is connected to WildFire, and XDR performs sandboxing from the cloud. WildFire conducts malware scanning and emulation, then informs the firewall to block threats based on the response. It also generates reports regarding malware and other issues. The sandboxing process involves sending sample files to the cloud for scanning, checking file authenticity, certificates, and detecting malicious code. WildFire performs multiple checks and informs the XDR agent about file status. This automatic process occurs within minutes or seconds. For unknown or suspicious files, immediate blocking occurs while samples are sent to WildFire for identification. I rate Palo Alto Networks WildFire a 9 out of 10.

Autofocus is a service provided by Palo Alto for threat monitoring. My overall rating for Palo Alto Networks WildFire is eight out of ten.

I recommend Palo Alto Networks WildFire to other companies due to its simplicity in deployment. I provide an overall rating of eight for this product.

The integration with threat prevention modules and the quick propagation of malicious URL data make WildFire a valuable tool for threat detection and response. I rate it an eight.

I recommend WildFire. It has a huge database and a global coalition group. You can enrich your own IOCs (Indication of Compromise) with multiple situations. The big data engine of analytics is very effective, and Palo Alto is very intelligent and can respond to any attack very effectively. They have good and educated security engineering back end, which can analyze and detect attacks. They also provide proper proof of concept for your environment. Palo Alto is a leader in the latest framework by Gartner and has a big data engine on-premises or in the cloud. This input helps me recommend it to any customer. By the way, Palo Alto is a leader and has a market share of the banking tech industry. Every bank that is very successful must have Palo Alto and/or WildFire. It is a leader in the whole industry. Overall, I would rate it an eight out of ten.

The automated scanning capabilities integrated with Palo Alto's XDR are crucial for detecting and responding to potential environmental threats. Integration with other solutions outside the Palo Alto ecosystem can sometimes be limited, as it prefers to keep operations within its ecosystem. It has robust cybersecurity capabilities. I recommend it to others and rate it a nine.

WildFire is an excellent choice for organizations looking for robust security solutions that integrate well into an automated ecosystem. However, as the system is designed for professionals, it's crucial to have a knowledgeable team in place. Proper training is essential to ensure the solution is utilized fully. Overall, I rate it a ten out of ten.

Once you install the license, you don't have to do anything else. Just ensure you are updating your real-time updates. WildFire offers advanced firewall capabilities, including protection against zero-day threats and proactive prevention. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

I recommend it, but mostly the cloud version. I recommend it to any company who needs sandboxing or this kind of file analysis. But they must be careful if they have to use on-premise, because of the stability issues. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Palo Alto Networks' BPA flagged certain URLs that needed blocking to tighten our firewall's security. WildFire serves as a repository for security incident data, enhancing our threat intelligence across the organization. While we don't manage it directly, WildFire provides crucial information about security occurrences globally. The sandbox technology of WildFire has benefited us as it provides a layer of protection and immutability against threats. Whether it is better to integrate WildFire with Palo Alto firewall into one product depends on your infrastructure setup. If you have a reliable internet connection, utilizing WildFire in the cloud is efficient for receiving timely updates. However, if internet connectivity is a concern, having WildFire as an appliance locally might be preferable. My advice for those considering WildFire is to prioritize its inclusion with your firewall setup. Cybersecurity is interconnected globally, and WildFire provides crucial threat intelligence to keep your firewall updated and effective. It is essential for a smarter, more secure network defense. Overall, I would rate WildFire as a nine out of ten.

Though the product has improved the ability to detect and respond to genuine threats, it is not very useful in our company's environment. The tool's capability to deal with malicious files and block URLs has benefited our organization. The tool also helps my company deal with scripts that are not required. Palo Alto Networks WildFire is only for the users who use hardware or products from Palo Alto Networks. I am not sure whether Palo Alto Networks WildFire can be integrated with other products. If you use a firewall from Palo Alto Networks, then Palo Alto Networks WildFire is useful since it allows you to stay protected from malware. Only the reporting part is proper in the product, but the action setting is an area that needs to be taken care of by Palo Alto Networks. If the product is capable of blocking threats, then it will be very useful for our company. I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

I rate Palo Alto Networks WildFire an eight out of ten.

I think the customer implementing a one-tier or two-tier firewall should have Palo Alto Networks WildFire's subscription. When the unknown types of attacks are coming in, we need to have WildFire for protection. I rate the overall product a nine out of ten.

Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.

I give the solution a nine out of ten. The Palo Alto Networks WildFire solution is effective, however, it is limited in terms of support. Therefore, I recommend using this solution only if adequate support is provided.

I'm an integrator. We do use a variety of versions of the solution. We have a few clients using the product. I'd recommend the solution to others. It improves protection and is a good firewall. I would rate the solution eight out of ten. I'm happy with its capabilities.

I give the solution an eight out of ten. A limited number of people are required for maintenance. One person is enough for the day-to-day but we have overlapped for coverage.

I used the solution, and I think that it's wonderful. They have different layers of analysis, but I wouldn't say I like the price. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Palo Alto Networks WildFire a nine.

The solution uses artificial intelligence and it doesn't delay the normal process of auto-detecting the analysis of files. The response time is very fast for robotic files. I rate Palo Alto Networks WildFire a nine out of ten.

I would rate Palo Alto Networks WildFire an eight out of ten.

I rate this solution an eight out of ten. Regarding advice, I would recommend doing a proof of concept first before deciding on the solution.

I would rate this solution 9 out of 10.

I use Palo Alto Networks WildFire. I like it. The number of people you need for maintaining Palo Alto Networks WildFire will depend on the number of devices you have. If you had one firewall, what do you need to maintain? You'll just need one guy, and he's going to be bored most of the time. One guy could maintain ten to twenty firewalls. If you have one hundred firewalls on your network, or you manage one hundred firewalls for your customers, then you're going to need five times as many engineers for maintaining Palo Alto Networks WildFire. I have no advice for others looking into using the solution because it's so simple. You can turn it on with a button, then there's a radio box, then you click it, and away you go. If you need information, you can enter a support email, and it'll fire off an email saying, "I caught something. I shut it down, but you should know about this." Nobody gets a ten, so I'll give Palo Alto Networks WildFire a rating of nine out of ten.

The way Palo Alto Networks WildFire works is that it's essentially a service that you get from Palo Alto as part of your subscription. You can subscribe to it at an additional cost, and the idea is it can communicate with all the Palo Alto devices in the world about a file, e.g. whether a file is suspicious or harmless. For example, a machine in Australia downloads a file, and it doesn't know if it's a file that can be trusted or not. The Palo Alto Networks WildFire process is that it takes that file, and then moves it to the WildFire service in the cloud, so there's a transaction from the firewall doing that. Let's say it's a Word file or something that looks suspicious, Palo Alto Networks WildFire then detonates the file, e.g. it takes that file and runs checks against it, before and after, and then it sees the difference and says, "Well, this actual file contains a payload." The way that it works then, is that there are attackers or people who are trying to subvert systems, and they will say, "Oh, if this file is running on a virtual machine, like in a sandbox environment, don't do the thing that you're going to do, only when it's a physical thing, like actual hardware. The Palo Alto Networks WildFire process is a process that goes through all these other checks, e.g. it runs on physical, on virtual, on different types of Linux, MacOS, etc. This file is checked against all these different environments to see if it's okay or not, so this is done off the box, off the firewall. This is the service that you pay for as part of that subscription, so when it's done, essentially that file is marked as safe, that's cool. If it's marked as bad, then that file, the hash is taken from it, so it's easily identified, then through the Palo Alto Networks WildFire subscription, all the firewalls in the world then get that information within just one minute, if you set it to that. It will say something similar to: "Look out for this file if you ever see it", and then all the machines now knows that the file is dodgy or suspicious. That's what Palo Alto Networks WildFire does. Palo Alto Networks is very well rounded. They're building an ecosystem: the Palo Alto ecosystem. You've got global protect VPNs and they are the armor that works on the whole ecosystem. They also have integrations, e.g. there are other applications from HP that plug into the device, because it's got the APIs there. For the deployment and maintenance of Palo Alto Networks WildFire, one person can do it, but it's a special tool, so a network staff that just looks after a server would probably struggle with it, just because of some of the concepts that you need to use. There are specific trainings you'd need to do to get the best out of it, but one specialist could do it, e.g. it's not unheard of. My advice to others looking into implementing this solution is for them not to be put off by the cost. It's similar to looking at cars, e.g. there's a reason people like Jaguar cars over the Fords. I've always got this mantra that if you have a network, if you have a data network, and if it's going to cost you, e.g. if you look at the fines associated with various industries, and if you're a school that gets a data breach, it'll cost you this much money. The question is: "Can you afford that much money as a company?" If your answer is "No", then you have to look at mitigating it. I would suggest looking at Palo Alto Networks WildFire and saying, "Well, we do these types of things to protect your network." If you still don't want to pay that money, then chances are, you don't particularly care about security. If you want to pay for that kind of thing to stave off the bigger fine that results from getting a data breach, or getting hacked, etc., then that's how we think about it. Don't be off put by the cost when you're looking at it. Palo Alto Networks WildFire is a very comprehensive device. They are the best firewalls in the world. There are also other solutions like UTMs and XGs, e.g. if you like Fortigate, but everyone I've shown the Palo Alto to instantly said: "This big screen here: I can see all the traffic going through", and you just filter it at the top, and it just makes more sense to people. It's very intuitive. My rating for Palo Alto Networks WildFire is eight out of ten. It's not a perfect score because of its cost.

We also provide Palo Alto Networks WildFire to our customers, and we've been dealing with it since it came into the product line. We deployed this solution both on cloud and on-premises. It's a mixture of both types of deployment. Palo Alto Networks WildFire is a good solution. It has been able to mitigate a lot of threats and attacks. We have a lot of customers using Palo Alto Networks WildFire. We have network engineers who handle the deployment and maintenance of this solution, and they are the same people who handle the deployment and maintenance of Fortinet FortiGate. We recommend this product to people who want to start using it, but if the customer only has limited budget, then we cannot recommend it. I'm giving Palo Alto Networks WildFire a score of eight out of ten.

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

I rate WildFire six out of 10. To people considering WildFire, I recommend that they understand their own needs. They should do the proper due diligence. Right now, everybody's cutting costs because of COVID-19. They're trying to automate most things through the PA, so the cost-cutting is going to be a major factor in the future.

If your organization can afford this solution then I would recommend it. However, there are other solutions on the market that have similar features at a lower cost, such as FortiGate and Juniper. I rate Palo Alto Networks WildFire a nine out of ten.

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.

I would rate this solution an eight out of 10.

I would recommend this solution to others. I rate Palo Alto Networks WildFire a ten out of ten.

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

It's a very good product. I would rate Palo Alto Networks WildFire and eight out of ten.

From my perspective, Palo Alto is the best solution in the market. This is the reason that we implemented it. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

WildFire is always a product that we recommend for our Palo Alto clients because it tracks potential malware in the cloud and it is very important to prevent these types of attacks. In today's climate with the pandemic, a lot of staff are working offsite and remotely, leading to a surge in internet usage. This makes the work environments prone to various threats, which is one of the reasons that products like WildFire are so important. Overall, from our point of view, it is a good product that works well. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

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.

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.

Install the solution set it up the service in alert mode. Run reports and determine how you want it tuned, them move into block mode. You may want to go to block mode right away with known out of the box threats.

The Palo Alto models that we were using are the PA800-500 and PA830. I have seen people in different organizations and different industries set their firewall solutions up in different ways. It depends on the level of support, in terms of who will be maintaining the network. It also includes the level of knowledge they have, as well as their management preference. Some people choose Palo Alto because they don't care about the costs, and it is an easy solution to use, especially if they are already familiar with it. I would say that if they have the budget then this is a good choice and I recommend it. However, if they are looking to consolidate all of their services, then the option to choose is definitely Cisco. It's a cloud-based solution with malware protection, filtering, and everything you need all in one box. It makes a lot of difference. Finally, some people prefer FortiGate because the pricing is good and it is simple to use, whereas some people prefer Check Point for other reasons. It's an individual choice, but it should be well researched before the final choice is made. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I really recommend Palo Alto Networks. Out of 10 stars, I would give 11. I would recommend the solution because it's so easy to deploy and when you read the security profiles, it's very easy to handle, unlike other vendors. When it comes to threat protection, the features are easy to use and understand.

This is a very good solution and from a technical perspective and it does a fantastic job. At the same time, we are actually planning on getting rid of it, as it is probably overkill for what we need. I think that when they were looking at this device, they didn't really know where to turn. I was not working here at the time, so they took the recommendation from their telco. My intention is to replace it with four or five individual firewalls, which gives us a little bit of redundancy and does some other things for us. Palo Alto has a lot of advanced stuff that it brings with it, and we don't have a need for it. Specifically for WildFire, we're shifting away from on-premises email and going to a cloud-based email system. In that type of managed solution, the provider handles messaging security. My advice for anybody who is researching this solution is to consider the requirements and the cost. I guarantee that this product will do what you need, but you have to make sure that what you need is what it provides. It is possible that there is more in there than what you'll actually use, so you need to think about whether it is worth the cost. The reason that we're changing is cost-related. For what they are charging us every year, I will completely replace all of our hardware, get exactly what we need, and only pay for it once. We will be saving $3,000 - $5,000 CAD ($2,200 - $3,800 USD) every year after this, just because we don't have those licensing costs associated with it. The bottom line is that this solution has the ability to do an awful lot of stuff, and if it were easier to configure then it would be even better. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

WildFire is a perfect complement to a Palo Alto Firewall, it's invaluable. I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

On a scale from 1 to 10, I would give Palo Alto Networks WildFire a 8 for safety.

It's a stable product. It's pretty expensive but with respect to value for money, it's okay. I would rate it a nine out of ten.

Some of our clients used to have the traditional firewalls so where we do have enabled the application control but being it's a pretty small firewall. At the end of the day, even in spite of them demanding the application controls, it's on top of the firewall functionality (especially in terms of controlling the applications). So, after implementing the Palo Alto firewalls, they have achieved more than what is expected, and we are able to control the number of applications; who gets to have access, and what is flowing inside the network. Anything that is traversing the firewall, is available right now.

I would give this product a rating of 9 out of 10 due to some slight issues of performance.

Test it in your environment because everyone's environment is different. Most important criteria when selecting a vendor: * Price matching up with features. * Support * SLA agreements * Customer relationship management.
