    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    • 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.
