    Palo Alto Networks
    Palo Alto Networks WildFire is highly effective in enterprise environments where detecting zero-day threats and unknown malware is critical. Small businesses may find the cost of advanced subscriptions prohibitive, especially if they only need basic protection. Much of our infrastructure is OT and Palo Alto Networks WildFire is cloud dependent so cannot be used where we have air-gapped systems.

    Recorded Future
    If you want a platform that is covering thousands of sources, and that includes deep, dark web, clear web forums, blogs, newspapers, social media networks, etc. Recorded Future is the most complete solution that I have seen. On the other hand, if you are looking for a really advanced platform with lot of human added value, research papers, advanced investigations, etc. Recorded Future might not be the ideal solution.

    Pros
    Palo Alto Networks
    • 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.

    • Browser extension provides a real-time information about an artifact.
    • Accurate in identifying malicious domains and IPs.

    Cons
    Palo Alto Networks
    • Cost
    • I would personally like to see more JSON support in the API rather than XML, but that's being very nitpicky

    Recorded Future
    • E-Mail reports can show unrelated content, especially sometimes you'll see alerts popping up for articles which have been published years ago but for some reason were just recently discovered by RF.
    • Yara rules from their insikt blog sometimes are not syntactically correct and need to be manually edited to actually work. There's some proper QA missing.
    • Their global and 3rd party risk reports could be more tailored towards the industries of their client. There is entries for totally unrelated security incidents. Of course a global list aims to find incidents on a global view, but it doesn't add much value at that point.

    Usability
    Palo Alto Networks
    It is a great product that has definitely improved our security posture, however it does require quite a bit of training and time spent customizing for the environment. We had several difficulties in deployment but Palo Alto support was able to help us work through the problems that we were not able to figure out on our own.

    Support Rating
    Palo Alto Networks
    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.

    I've had an issue with their browser-plugin which didn't want to authenticate correctly. RF's support could arrange for a session with me and identify and solve the issue. I was very pleased how serious they took my problems and also how knowledgeable they are.
    If I have more general questions they quickly reply and most likely also have a solution at hand.

    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 firewalls that are aware of applications and can make use of Wildfire. It sped our ability to respond to emerging threats up because of this game-changing development.

    Recorded Future
    It is the most complete solution of these three, as the others are focused in specific areas and having really detailed analysis about threat actors, APT groups, etc. Recorded Future is not having this level of knowledge in really specific areas but doing a really good work covering thousands of sources and the most relevant forums.

    Return on Investment
    Palo Alto Networks
    • We've had one or two malware files that were blocked by Wildfire. We use it occasionally to check unusual or unexpected files. Hard to monetize ROI, because we don't know what the impact would have been if the file made it through.
    • We pay significantly for the Wildfire licenses, but given the potential impact to our business, we feel it is worthwhile. Figure costs are somewhere around $1,500 per year per firewall for a mid-range model. Can be higher or lower for different sized firewalls. Onsite appliance was somewhere between $50-100K, which was too much for us, so we use the cloud model.

    • Recorded Future crashes my web browser in cases I have to open a web page containing hundreds of IPs. A quick disable feature for a particular tab would be beneficial for someone like me.
