Palo Alto Networks AutoFocus vs. ThreatX

Analytics, Threat Hunting and detailed investigations for the security incidents are the main use cases. Automation on the cloud based on the feeds through the minemeld is another use case. When you deploy PAN on perimeter, Autofocus gives you a temendaous value. If you have non PAN firewall/products running Auto focus doe not make sense.

If you have Palo Alto, autofocus is the selected choice. If you have Checkpoint than the threat cloud. Price of autofocus is much cheaper. Unit42 is the real differentiator. Minemeld is unique to PAN and working perfectly. Search outputs and are detailed and gives lots of data. Integration with SOAR is much easier with autofocus. Indicator list is huge. Tagging works magnificent.
