PAN provides a great NGFW. I have managed/deployed PAN firewalls throughout my career

  • November 10, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the management UI and I like how they have maintained a consistency when it comes to the layout so that you are not relearning things constantly and know just where to go. Of course having App-ID to create policies and the ability to integrate with AD has always been a huge plus. Centralized management through Panorama or Prisma makes it super easy to deploy and manage at scale. Palo has the best firewall in my personal opinion.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't think of anything I dislike really. It does what it's supposed to do and does it well. You can even integrate it with Menlo Security's secure cloud browser seamlessly as a transparent proxy and then you have ultimate protection from the firewall for your org and users via the browser.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows me to see exactly what is coming and going from an app usage perspective and allows me to secure access to/from our assets.

This is informational, the product allows you to launch on c5.large however that is not enough memory. It will boot to maintenance mode with an error in the system log about not having enough memory. Needs > 4GB, not 4GB.

Prisma SASE is a tool that provides organizations with visibility, control and protection

  • October 02, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like it because it offers me centralized analytical and management capabilities, and it also has a threat intelligence service to maintain updates on a set of threats. The overall experience for me, I like this product.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the cost prohibitive for small businesses and if something goes wrong then we don't have permission to get it easily. but it is a tool that has the ability to monitor all traffic entering and leaving the facilities.

Its easy-to-use interface can help a person new to this learn and understand various features. In addition to offering end-to-end security on your network, it helps give the network greater visibility. Prisma SASE provides an exceptional user experience, which is highly appreciated.

Horribly Slow!

  • June 07, 2023
  • Review verified by AWS Marketplace

Earlier versions are super slow to launch (pass basic status checks), and super slow to bootstrap (respond even on ssh port). The latest version fails to launch fast enough to get past the basic status checks (10 minute timeout), and there is no means to alter this timeout for an auto scaling group (not the same timeout has HealthCheckGracePeriod). If you're designing for high availability, this is not the product for you.

Once a mighty company

  • May 20, 2023
  • Review verified by AWS Marketplace

I've been an advocate for using Palo Alto firewalls for over a decade. They were so far ahead of everyone else. The gap has closed quite signficantly, and they still shine when it comes to being a full layer 7 firewall. The problem is that the company has grown too large and the product has tons of bugs, support is non-existent. They hire people off the streets to support them because they have such a large customer base, and these "off the street" people in turn hire people with even less skill than them. It's a crap shoot when deploying PANS these days, as you run into all kinds of issues, and don't even think about opening a case. You will have to invest tons of times to over explain the issue, be fed with useless documents (you can find those yourself), and escalate multiple times, and then if you're lucky, you may find someone that can find a bug , which will almost never get fixed.

It's GUI which helps you out most for troubleshooting and to take capture for interested traffic flow. Rather with cli firewalls where you will have to just stay and define filters everytime

Patches and upgrades. I understand these are mandatory but can we get a consolidated upgrade instead of a patch upgrade.

Software instability
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For protection dos ddos attack for blocking any unwanted traffic to the internet
