    This is perfect for organisations with small or limited security teams who want to get more from their Cisco and third-party investments. With Secure Endpoint makes detecting and responding to threats much easier. Any organisation looking to overhaul its security infrastructure or even wrap around its cloud-first strategy with solutions such as Intune should seriously look at Cisco’s suite of products. I’ve implemented Secure Endpoint, Umbrella, and Duo for customers primarily using Intune for device management, and the cool new insight features in Cisco SecureX really help with visibility over their estate.

    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.

    Pros
    Cisco
    • So the product enables end users to get visibility into their security environment, not only across the Cisco products but across the third-party products as well. The product also automates detection and response. So the product really offers end-user efficiency in the security operations center.

    • 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.

    Cons
    Cisco
    • Of course, many companies prefer to obtain security from the cloud; however, not all of them prefer it, which is why having a local implementation would allow these companies to also use said software as their ally for their security.
    • Working with this software can be simple, that is, any threat can be visualized with greater precision, but when it comes to managing its orchestration, it is a bit complex.
    • Its integration with other software can be simple but with others it is not, that is why it would be ideal if all of them could be carried out in the same way.
    • Integrating with a larger number of third party software would be of great help, to further enhance the analysis and detection of threats.

    • 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.

    A lot of the look and feel of both products is quite similar. There's several best practices on visualization that are followed in both and integration of common telemetry is comfortable and quick. But while Microsoft ATP offers deep insights into mostly the Microsoft environment and a limited view into other common sources, SecureX shines in all the non-client areas Microsoft's product seems lackluster in.

    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.

    Return on Investment
    Cisco
    • It helps us easily Id the full extent of a threat
    • It saves time searching for data.
    • It only gives basic info I wish there was greater integration between all security offerings
    • It allows other techs to pick up where you left off.

    • 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.
