Pros I really like the idea that it can detect zero day threats, it sends these logs to Palo Alto cloud sandbox where this can be analyzed. PAN don't allow the files which it can't recognize and sends them to WILDFIRE sandbox, which really help to built a secure organization. Cons It is an add on feature, where it might be bit costly, however this is really must to have solution. Alternatives considered [VirusTotal](https://www.capterra.com/p/235440/VirusTotal/) Reasons for choosing WildFire Due to already in house Palo Alto firewall Solution.
