WildFire can be integrated with firewalls and other services. However, I did not find it useful and the sandbox seems to be too basic.

Experience with Threat Scanning Tools: JoeSandbox and Wildfire

Mar 24, 2025

We used a tool called JoeSandbox. Since we already use Palo Alto tools, we wanted to try Wildfire. It is easy to use. Reviewing files and URL links does take some time. I am a bit confused as to when the scanning will finish as there is nothing signifying when a file scan will complete.
