Has good stability and a straightforward setup

Palo Alto Networks Panorama is deployed everywhere, particularly in the public cloud and on-premises as well. My company is just a customer of Palo Alto Networks Panorama, but because it's a big company, it has a dedicated account manager in Palo Alto. My company uses the solution extensively. There are more than six Panoramas. Forty to fifty firewalls are managed currently through Palo Alto Networks Panorama. I'm rating Palo Alto Networks Panorama nine out of ten. It's a good solution. What would make my rating a ten is if the CPU management spike issue was addressed and if the delayed response of technical support was addressed as well. A few years ago, the response time from support was immediate, but now, there's a delay with the response, even though my company has a dedicated account manager from Palo Alto Networks Panorama, and this makes you think about a midsized company with no account manager in terms of how much time it gets a response from Palo Alto support.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The telemetry visibility is really good as well as the automated workflows for creating policies. The overall solution is quite intuitive to use."

"The installation process is very simple."

"What I like most about this solution is that it allows me to push multiple policies on multiple followers at the same time."

"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the ability to manage our devices centrally. Additionally, we can monitor the workforce connections, receive reports, and use the backup feature."

"All of the reports and events from different locations can be managed centrally."

"Everything about the reporting and everything about Palo Alto Networks Panorama is good."

"The interface is very easy to use. You can do most jobs from one single console."

"The product can scale."

More Palo Alto Networks Panorama pros

"This solution has helped us to meet our compliance mandates. We implemented the Unified Security Policy (USP). This helped enforce what compliance requirements that we had. We have mitigated and remediated issues that have been brought forth due to that USP showing us issues."

"Tufin is our audit trail for all changes. We have to be PCI compliant, and it's the tool we go to for enforcing PCI on the network side."

"The consolidation of other firewall vendors is very valuable."

"We use Tufin to clean up our firewall policies. This makes it a lot easier to find out the things that are wrong."

"The solution is good, and no clients complained about it."

"We use it to clean up our firewall policies, which gives us better security policy and less junk on the firewalls."

"Our engineers are spending less time on manual processes, specifically for the reporting functionality. For doing the rule cleanup and policy analysis, it would be a nightmare to do that manually. So, it is saving our engineering teams time from not having to do manual log reviews."

"This solution has helped us with compliance because we're able to map out certain firewall rules against compliance requirements, and we're able to write reports to show us exactly what our firewalls look like in those areas."

Cons

"They need to do less bug-related releases and create versions that are stable for at least six months at a time. I don't find this issue in other solutions like Cisco, Check Point, FortiGate, or others. Those just provide a patch if there is a bug and we don't have to worry about downtime."

"The product could use some method of allowing for more customization and open integration with other controls."

"Its UI and usability could be improved. The way the UI looks could be improved to make it a little bit more intuitive. Other than that, it is a pretty simple product."

"Aside from pricing, I don't have any issues with Panorama."

"It could be easier to manage. In the future, it should be much easier because it's not very easy to manage. So in the next release, I think it should be much easier to manage, especially in the first configuration. It could also be more stable."

"My company's getting whatever it needs from Palo Alto Networks Panorama, but in the cloud, there's an issue with CPU management, and that's an area for improvement. Though the normal data traffic doesn't go through the management interface, whenever there's an increase in the throughput, CPU management becomes high. If you increase the load, CPU management spikes, and it's what needs to be taken care of in Palo Alto Networks Panorama."

"The solution can improve by providing unique reports in relation to the function of which you choose the firewall to do."

"In the future, it would be beneficial if Panorama could include a firewall assurance feature similar to Skybox."

More Palo Alto Networks Panorama cons

"The network part of the solution could be improved. It's too hard because of the Tufin licensing model for the routing devices."

"I would like an improved reporting module which can be flexible (custom reports) and allow us to generate our own reports, because the data is already there."

"I needed more help getting the product to work in the lab."

"There are pros and cons to the workflow. You cannot customize it fully and there are some limitations. You cannot create a pure object, a firewall, IP, or service (single layer) object. You can only create a firewall object group. That is one of the challenges."

"I would like to see visibility into the FW features like IPS/Content Filter policies, the same way it does for FW rules/policies."

"They are a little bit behind on some of their support for the Palo Alto firewall platform. I'd like to see that catch up, specifically around importing certain objects."

"I would like to see the hardware specifications improved."

"We found some bugs on the software, but we're working with tech support to fix them."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Palo Alto Networks Panorama is a more expensive solution than competitors. They should lower the price to stay competitive."

"With the URL filtering, we probably went down from around four hours in response time to about five minutes."

"It has freed up staff time, which is where we are seeing ROI."

"Although I don't have direct knowledge of the setup cost I believe it is mid-range."

"Everyone, I suppose, would like the price to be improved. Price is always a good thing to change."

"The solution is relatively cheap; I rate it four out of five for affordability."

"The licensing is not cheap. There are always hidden costs. You have support costs, or maybe you need to buy more optics on how the solution fits into the rest of your environment. It is possible some of the rest of your environment will need to change too."

"The pricing model is reasonable for this class of solutions."

More Palo Alto Networks Panorama pricing and cost advice

"Our licensing costs are three million total and then we pay for maintenance, which is an additional cost for three years."

"I'm saving 20 man-hours a week, so I am seeing some ROI."

"There are ways to deploy the license to different types of firewall. However, if we decide to change the physical brand of the firewall, we need to go back to Tufin and modify the licensing. This is a hassle."

"We have seen ROI in operational aspects, in terms of how long it takes to resolve incidences which arise."

"We haven't purchased the license yet for SecureChange. We do have plans to buy it next year."

"The cost is pretty high. It's close to seven figures."

"Tufin and AlgoSec were pretty much in the competitive price range, but this one provided us better integration into the Check Point environment."

"There is no issue with the pricing because we used a VM. That kept the cost low, as compared to an appliance."
