    Malware that doesn’t leave files behind has become widely available. Anyone who can afford to reverse this trend should purchase technology. Application whitelisting isn’t for everyone, and Palo Alto Networks Traps can help. Enterprises looking for a low-affected, next-generation solution with high protection should consider it. PAN Traps is a great product at a reasonable price, and I highly recommend it.

    It is a very good device to use on a small and medium size company (0-400 users). However I wouldn't use it for very big companies.

    Stormshield
    • Easy to manage on a daily basis
    • It goes very deep into analyzing the trafic and the configuration is very thin.
    • The first configuration is not so complex

    Cons
    Palo Alto Networks
    • Traps doesn't seem to function as a traditional A/V very well, so it's better as another layer to your endpoint protection
    • Traps can cause issues with some legacy or custom programs, so exceptions may have to be made
    • Traps falsely identifies things as malicious at times, this is not often though

    • Not everything is possible on the web administration page. We need to use the ssh console to do many things.
    • The logs viewer is not as helpful as on other brands (like ASTARO, SOPHOS,...)

    Usability
    Palo Alto Networks
    As every attacks get started because of user mistake or employee mistake. they click on any link they open any software without knowing its behavioural. But after Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR we able to identify what user is doing We can put sudden type of restriction as per our organization policy. If some malicious file is found it can be quarantined. easy remote terminal access for investogation rather going one by one user for endpoint if they are busy then we have to wait but now from console only we can do this all.

    Support Rating
    Palo Alto Networks
    The support we receive from Palo Alto is one of the best aspects of Traps. It is very easy to recommend their support. It seems much easier to connect directly with someone with a deep understanding of the product rather than other companies where you basically have to make an airtight case that it is some kind of non-standard issue that can't be solved with existing documentation. Palo Alto digs deep and helps with advanced troubleshooting to get things working.

    Traps is the slickest interface, easy to use and intuitive rule making, and the rest just didn't quite stack up to the performance level of Traps. McAfee and Kaspersky just hog processor and RAM power. I didn't like the interface and functionality of SentinelOne as much as Traps. Palo Alto really put a lot of time into the development of this software, and had some of the founding fathers of IT Security heading the development process. Can't beat that.

    Return on Investment
    Palo Alto Networks
    • After putting Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR on a user's system, users came back with a positive response that there are no performance issues now.
    • We are able to track and control granular suspicious and malicious activities.
    • Web controls are missing, which if they would have been there would have been very helpful.

    • It does the job very well once it is correctly configured. By that I mean, it is functioning with the least waste of time and effort for network administrators.
    • If needed the support is efficient.
