The main gateway for my organization is Palo Alto because my SAP data is hosted there. My staff operates behind Palo Alto, and numerous software applications and websites are hosted on it. I wanted a strong product for security, particularly for ransomware, malware, and a strong VPN for accessing SAP through VPN and CloudProtect.

Experience robust security with fast and efficient VPN and antivirus capabilities
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Palo Alto offers excellent security, with features such as email scanning, malware protection, and efficient VPN and antivirus capabilities. There is no latency, making it faster compared to my previous solutions. The services are hosted and run quickly, which enhances our operations. The security against DDoS attacks has also been improved significantly.
What needs improvement?
There is a need for two-factor authentication, particularly for VPN and CloudProtect. It would enhance security further. The individual certificate feature where a unique certificate is attached to each user would also be valuable. If Palo Alto adopts this, they would excel.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Palo Alto for the last three months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Palo Alto is very stable. I would rate it ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is very scalable. If I were to rate it on a scale, it would receive nine out of ten, and with two-factor authentication, it would be ten.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support is very good. I rate it nine out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I was previously using Sophos. The switch to Palo Alto was driven by the need for a product that could manage all my in-house data and offer superior security. Sophos was not offering the class A level of service that Palo Alto provides.
