Good security and DLP capabilities that protects from unauthorized access

There are a lot of problems reported, which get sorted out. I really cannot remember what those problems are. It's mostly performance issues. Performance issues might be based on the pricing, and perhaps the customer has not properly sized the requirement. I have not personally seen this, but maybe I need to check with my committee.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that the core functionality is not in different modules. The event correlation is quite powerful."

"The setup is very easy as we just need to switch on and switch off."

"The security aspect in finance is crucial for controlling from a DLP perspective and ensuring protection."

"The primary feature is managing firewalls through Panorama, especially when handling multiple firewalls across different sites like headquarters and remote sites."

"The security aspect in finance is crucial for controlling from a DLP perspective and ensuring protection."

"The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks Enterprise Data Loss Prevention is its comprehensive end-to-end solution in Cloud Delivery Security Services, which includes URL, data loss prevention, and advanced threat prevention as features that can be enabled just by clicking a checkbox."

"Another important feature is that the solution doesn't require any additional infrastructure to implement. It's a software license that is compatible with our existing hardware. We were able to install and configure the product seamlessly and effortlessly."

"Our clients primarily deploy Palo Alto Networks Enterprise DLP to control the flow of information in and out of their networks. The main use cases include monitoring and managing sensitive data such as credit card information and personally identifiable information."

"It is a stable solution with good support."

Cons

"Incident management could be improved, along with enforcement capabilities, which DTEX does not have at the moment."

"You need to have an external solution to backup everything. For example, you need to have Syslog installed on your server as well so that you can back it up to another place."

"There is room for improvement in the documentation around the maintenance of the product, how the automatic updates work, and pushing out new policies. A little more detail and context in that area would be helpful."

"Pricing is expensive."

"There are mostly performance issues."

"The product is still overly complicated compared to other vendors such as Check Point, which could be improved."

"Its scalability is not on par with the features of others."

"The configuration for Palo Alto Networks firewalls requires specifying many details, such as protocols and services."

"The solution needs improvement in stability. There has been feedback regarding the accuracy of file categorization."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing wise, DTEX would be a four on a scale from one to ten, where one is the highest price and 10 is the lowest price. It is not the cheapest solution."

"The pricing of the solution depends on the buyers. But, from my point of view, it is in line with the rest of the products and the price list of Palo Alto."

"The licensing model is very fair-minded and it's a good value. It scales well... Its licensing model is more streamlined when compared to other DLP solutions."

"Palo Alto Networks Enterprise Data Loss Prevention is expensive, and licensing costs are monthly."

"It's expensive."
