February 4, 2022 5.0 With Wildfire enabled, your organization will be more secure, if using Palo Alto Firewalls, I would really suggest to add Wildfire feature, as Zero day threat are more dangerous. 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/) Reason for choosing WildFire Due to already in house Palo Alto firewall Solution.

The wildfire cloud is also very great as the updates happen near real time. This is wonderful for keeping your network secure. Cons OCCASIONALLY there will be files that wildfire analyzes that will be allowed which come back as potentially malicious, in this case you must retroactively remove the malicious file yourself. This is not ideal but at least the solution makes you aware of it!!

Pros Features and functionality provided by Palo Alto's Wildfire application provides a comprehensive security system where companies are able to use a GUI interface to set filtering rules. Rather than traditional security system relying on ports, Wildfire can get to the granular level where you can control application access and filtering. Cons Setup and Cost. Setup requires good knowledge of system, and although you dont need a certification etc you do require some training. Cost is also high of this system. Review Source Similar Products Featured
