Palo Alto Networks Advanced Threat Prevention Reviews

The solution could benefit from improved AI analytics to predict potential attacks before they occur, similar to NDR systems. Behavioral analytics and a more intuitive engine could also enhance it further.

While it is a powerful tool, it may have a steep learning curve for new users due to its advanced features and configurations. 

I have worked with Palo Alto Networks Advanced Threat Prevention for about five years.

I rate the platform's stability a ten out of ten. 

I rate the platform's scalability a ten out of ten. 

The initial setup process usually takes a couple of weeks to complete in learning mode, followed by a few days to configure the policies, so the total time could be around two to three weeks.

We provide services as a system integrator.

Despite the platform's high cost, it provides good value for the money due to its comprehensive security features and effectiveness.

Palo Alto Networks Advanced Threat Prevention is quite competitive, offering extensive threat detection and prevention capabilities, though it is priced higher than some alternatives. I would rate the pricing at five.

The platform requires a level of technical proficiency. Initially, we must deploy it in learning mode to understand the environment's workflow and build a baseline. Based on this baseline, we can configure policies to protect the network.

It is an important component for protecting against network attacks. It is a mandatory solution that can be deployed as a license on firewalls, protecting organizations from various threats.

It effectively prevents malware, ransomware, and other attacks. The Advanced Threat Prevention feature has a comprehensive database of attacks and is useful in identifying recent and new threats.

It integrates with firewalls and other network security controls, enriching their capabilities and helping to protect the network by identifying and preventing attacks before they happen.

While the product offers a rich security solution, there is potential for Palo Alto Networks to explore alternative pricing models to make it more cost-effective.

I recommend it to others, especially those seeking a robust security solution.
Overall, I rate it an eight out of ten. 

The tool is a next-generation firewall. We use it to teach students about firewalls.

The user interface is a bit more professional than some free products. Palo Alto also provides virtual machines that support the technology.

The installation was complicated.

I have been using the solution for two to three years.

I rate the tool’s stability a ten out of ten.

I rate the tool’s scalability a seven out of ten.

I have also used pfSense.

The time taken for deployment depends on the complexity of the process.

I use the learning materials that are free of charge.

I am a Palo Alto instructor. I run the firewalls for twenty minutes and then tear them down again. There are other people in the organization who deal with the firewalls 24/7. I don't have enough exposure to give a high score to the product. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

We implemented the IPS solution and the DNS sinkhole blocking. 

For us, the IPS is very valuable.

It is stable and reliable.

The solution has helpful support.

You can scale the product.

The initial setup is complex. 

We'd like more APIs to manage programmatically the IPS to orchestrate it and
avoid logging into the graphical user interface console. We'd like to have some robots to manage the solution's tasks.

I've been using the solution for about three years.

It's a stable solution. We've never had any issues with our environment. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. 

We have about 30,000 servers using this solution. It's not for end-users; it's for computers, for servers. It can scale to meet your needs. 

Technical support is good. We've been happy with them so far. 

The initial setup was very complex as the solution does not have these APIs to facilitate the configuration. Therefore, we had to manage some scripts to perform the configuration.

Our deployment took, approximately, eight months.

We implemented the solution with the help of a reseller.

We pay for licensing on a yearly basis. You simply need to pay the licensing fee and there are no extra costs. 

We're a customer and end-user.

It's a pretty good solution. After three years, we haven't had any issues or concerns with our environment. The advice I can give is to implement it and to test it, as it's a really good solution.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

We use the solution for network segregation.

The solution has many automation features.

There could be some firewalls with fiber optics interfaces.

I have been using Palo Alto Networks Advanced Threat Prevention for one and a half years.

The product is stable.

I rate the solution’s stability a ten out of ten.

The solution is scalable. It can consume all firewall capabilities.

We have more than 2,000 to 3,000 users using this solution.

The initial setup is very complex.

My customers, even those with private technologies, feel they made the right choice by going with Palo Alto—the numbers back this up as our revenue continues to grow. In Italy, we've seen significant quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year growth. This is the most compelling evidence that the market appreciates our product.

The solution comes with a license.

Palo Alto is one of the most advanced solutions in the market. No vendor is acting similarly at the moment.

The solution is suitable for automation and to protect the network productively. It has a reasonable cost in terms of investment because the price is not excessive in terms of security level.

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

We primarily use this solution for general user security and protection. In our organization, there are around 250 users, using this solution.

Its simplified management interface, self-updating, and self-alerting systems require very little management overhead.

Edge protection is a valuable feature. Also, WildFire I think has been the most valuable active protection against a zero-day.

It's also very intuitive and user-friendly.

I have been using this solution for roughly five years.

Both the scalability and stability of this solution are fine for our needs.

The technical support is excellent; I would give them a nine out of ten — their response time could be better.

The initial setup was pretty straightforward. 

We had an SE help us with the installation.

The pricing has improved with the newer generation of their Firewalls, but the price could always be lower. In comparison with other solutions, I believe they're quite competitive.

If you're going to use this solution, you should have a professional set it up for you.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of nine. They're cutting edge. They're one of the leaders in the industry, and they're continuously improving their product.

We use it to upload, delete, and list what to publish on the net to block websites and even posts.

Recently, I blocked Adobe Acrobat Reader. When you install it on your PC, sometimes it contacts the internet and opens some posts. Thus, it can be easily hacked by a user on the internet. When you browse for this kind of list, you can easily upload it on Palo Alto without any difficulty.

It's very easy to use and configure.

What is nice about Palo Alto is that even if you don't understand how to use it, you can just click on upload and upload everything that needs to be blocked.

It also has signature-based prevention.

The interface is really user friendly. You can easily see what sites you have been blocking and their criticality. 

You can also capture packets from this tool, which is really nice.

The cost involves the price of the hardware, which is expensive. However, most of the Palo Alto solutions are expensive.

These devices cost a lot here in Mauritius, for example, one device can cost approximately $4,000. The cost for the license would be in addition to this.

I would rate this solution at ten on a scale from one to ten because I've never had any issues with it and have never been hacked.

We are in financial environment so we put it on premises and in the cloud.

Everything has been okay with the solution. We are using all of the features. 

In terms of what needs improvement, the only thing I don't like is the support.

I have been using Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention for eight years. 

Palo Alto is very stable. 

It is scalable. We haven't confronted any issues.

The deployment is easy.

Licensing is yearly-based.

The pricing is higher compared to their competitors. I think Palo Alto is has the highest price.

I would recommend Palo Alto to anybody looking for threat prevention. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. 

The resource consumption should be addressed. The technology firewall anomaly network could stand improvement. 

The pricing could be better. 

We are currently using Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention.

Our network and the stability are good. Authentication of the location is stable. Nothing is changed.

The solution is scalable. 

The pricing could be lower. 

I like the solution's interface.

The features are very easy to manage. The firewall is responsible for a host of tasks, as we use it for the monitoring of high power systems. The configuring of agents is easy. 

I rate Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention as a ten out of ten.
