Score 8.8 out of 10

Palo Alto Network’s WildFire is a malware prevention service. It specializes in addressing zero-day threats through dynamic and static analysis, machine learning, and advanced sandbox testing environments.
This is perfect for organisations with small or limited security teams who want to get more from their Cisco and third-party investments. With Secure Endpoint makes detecting and responding to threats much easier. Any organisation looking to overhaul its security infrastructure or even wrap around its cloud-first strategy with solutions such as Intune should seriously look at Cisco’s suite of products. I’ve implemented Secure Endpoint, Umbrella, and Duo for customers primarily using Intune for device management, and the cool new insight features in Cisco SecureX really help with visibility over their estate.
Palo Alto Networks Wildfire is well suited for pretty much anywhere that you need the latest and greatest network security. It is extremely good at protecting you from the latest malware threats that might pose a potential problem for your network/endpoints. We've been very please since we installed it and I would say cost of the Palo Altos is the only drawback. If money were no object I'd go with a Palo Alto with Wildfire every time. But unfortunately in some smaller branches it just doesn't make financial sense.
So the product enables end users to get visibility into their security environment, not only across the Cisco products but across the third-party products as well. The product also automates detection and response. So the product really offers end-user efficiency in the security operations center.
This is could base and easily manageable for our collocation. While working within the could can review in live time potential treats that it has reported from other devices.
Worked very well with existing Palo Alto devices.
Another huge plus is the simplicity of managing and ease of scalability.
Its cost is competitive with similar/like products available.
Of course, many companies prefer to obtain security from the cloud; however, not all of them prefer it, which is why having a local implementation would allow these companies to also use said software as their ally for their security.
Working with this software can be simple, that is, any threat can be visualized with greater precision, but when it comes to managing its orchestration, it is a bit complex.
Its integration with other software can be simple but with others it is not, that is why it would be ideal if all of them could be carried out in the same way.
Integrating with a larger number of third party software would be of great help, to further enhance the analysis and detection of threats.
It works very well and takes care of protecting us from threats new and well-known. It's been a game changer in terms of threat detection & prevention.
Easy to use and works well. For the most part it's set it and forget it, but there's also some flexibility for high security environments and those with extra privacy concerns.
PAN support is very good. You can get the reasonable and timely support on any conditions. When the product is already integrated with the PAN firewalls, you can choose the severity levels based on the effect. The customer service/TAC is very helpful, they even have additional recommendations of advises for product usability. Local partners are also assisting the cases and give their expertise.
A lot of the look and feel of both products is quite similar. There's several best practices on visualization that are followed in both and integration of common telemetry is comfortable and quick. But while Microsoft ATP offers deep insights into mostly the Microsoft environment and a limited view into other common sources, SecureX shines in all the non-client areas Microsoft's product seems lackluster in.
We wanted a single device to handle numerous jobs, such as antivirus, antimalware, vulnerability detection, url filtering, etc. Palo Alto provides this, while TippingPoint IPS is a more dedicated product. Caveat: I used TippingPoint over 5 years ago, so things may have changed.
As we all know the product of Palo Alto is little bit expensive but its performance is far better than any of its competitors. So as I previously mentioned, Palo Alto should not sell WildFire Licence seperately.
If the firewall is internet facing then only we should buy WildFire Licence.
WildFire Licence is not necessary for internal firewall. If you are planning to buy a firewall for internal network where your traffic is not going towards internet so no need to buy WildFire Licence.
