External reviews
External reviews are not included in the AWS star rating for the product.
In January we bought PAN to replace the sonicwalls we had everywhere else.
What do you like best about the product?
PA’s logging is amazing! software updates are great. No longer do I need to long into another site to download updates. Security profiles per security rule is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish PA would implement a security rule filter like sonicwall. Being able to see all rules for DMZ to WAN can be helpful. Tags are fine, but I think the zone drop downs in sonicwall are a better experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The only thing that it lacks is a h\w product that would support consumer gaming machines such as xboxes, PS4s behind the firewall.
