WildFire from Palo Alto Networks provides security with very little overhead. With AutoFocus, they’ve got threat intelligence built right in. That way, it can prepare us to react swiftly when a significant danger is identified and dealt with as soon as possible. They introduced …
I don't want to mention the names and capabilities of all the products. We are making several POCs, acquired and deployed in the production network. WildFire's main advantage is the cost. You do not need additional HW, SW or maintenance/operational cost to run this product.

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.
It’s a dedicated Network Advanced Threat Detection and Prevention solution. Easy maintenance and low operating costs fit perfectly for SMEs. Variety of appliance selection makes NX the perfect choice for large enterprises. As it’s a dedicated solution with its own appliance, price is higher compared to NGTP add on solutions. FireEye is an ecosystem therefore when you’ve the EX or HX vice versa, you should be looking to NX. Otherwise, you’re missing the threat intel exchange on the network side reverse is the true. Sizing is important before the purchase, if you select a low end model for a busy network you lose your initial investment. For multiple NX deployments I highly recommend CMS. Without CMS you’ll lose the threat intel exchange and this will negatively reduce the risk scores.
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.
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.
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.
FireEye NX is a solid product. It gives you sustainable security throughout the organization. NX detection engines are more capable compared to others. Its catch rate is higher, FP rate is lower, [and] speed is awesome. NX can work for highly regulated environments with 1 way solution. Operation costs are much lower. Software quality is very good. It may have bugs, but these bugs do not compromise the security in general. SOC team loves the FireEye NX for its pinpoint detection capabilities. Local and partner support is exceptional.
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.
As [a] financial company on the digital markets, we need to be safeguard for 0days and targeted attacks. FireEye NX provides the best updated protection with its enhanced capabilities.
Security score based on detection/prevention metrics [is] very high ensuring the highest level of security.
APTs in our region successfully detected and mitigated by the NX.
