Palo Alto Networks WildFire vs. Trend Micro Deep Discovery

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.

I think Trend Micro Deep Discovery will be suitable for every system, but considering its cost, companies that will want to work in this scenario will usually have systems with multiple branches, multiple clients, and systems that host many independent platforms and communication methods - protocols. In summary, if you have a medium to large structure and you cannot protect this structure because you cannot monitor it in every area, you definitely need this product.

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.

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.

When you use Trend Micro Deep Discovery, it feels like you are running the SOC team of a company like Trend Micro in your own office. Other companies can also provide this, but the feeling it gives feels like they are providing service by phone from a distant city.

• 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.
