Senior Network Engineer at Just In Time Group (Sri Lanka)
Verified user of Palo Alto Networks PA-Series
    Aug 30, 2024
    Good for enterprise-level businesses and offers many features like URL filtering and antivirus capabilities

    Pros

    "Palo Alto has predefined applications that you can control at the application level. "

    Cons

    "Palo Alto can improve the web application firewall (WAF) feature at layer 7."
    Pratik Tupe - PeerSpot user
    Associate Process Manager at a computer software company with 5,001-10,000 employees
    Verified user of Palo Alto Networks PA-Series

    Offers trained customer support, stability and ease of use

    Pros

    "It is scalable. But that depends on what model you are using."

    Cons

    "There are constant updates for the operating system. It is a nice thing also, but it has its own disadvantages. Continuous updates are there. The users face issues like, how often do I need to update that? Within a period of five months, I'm updating it two or three times. It gives them a feeling that they are not confident about their product and have to update it so frequently. "

    Provides excellent features and documentation and enables users to connect to the internet securely

    Pros

    "The documentation is great."

    Cons

    "The web interface is slow."
    NenadMijatovic - PeerSpot user
    Director of Sales at S4E Serbia

    Efficient threat prevention and network protection with intuitive user interface, flexible licensing bundles and robust technical support

    Pros

    "Comprehensive logging is essential for monitoring and analysis purposes. For remote users, the firewall can be configured as a VPN concentrator, with VPN policies defined within the firewall settings."

    Cons

    "Utilizing these features as a unified solution can require additional setup, particularly when incorporating Panorama for centralized management, which may involve extra costs."

    Easy to use, efficiently inspects applications, secure and stable product

    Pros

    "It has its own logging system. You can go to monitoring and check the logs to see if a connection is getting blocked. You can use multiple types of logs to check if a file or a port is getting blocked or if there are any TCP resets from the source or destination. It's easy to troubleshoot with the monitoring and logging it provides."

    Cons

    "There seem to be some issues with TAC (Technical Assistance Center) or Palo Alto support. Anytime you open a case, a level one engineer joins, and then you have to escalate it to level two or three. The support system has changed in the past few years, and that's something they need to look into."

    Offers web filtering and application filtering and good multi-site environment

    Pros

    "The cloud-based aspect helps significantly. It integrates seamlessly with other Palo products like Prisma Cloud, offers robust VPN protection, and it's all in one convenient package."

    Cons

    "The UI definitely needs work. In my opinion, the UI could be simpler and more user-friendly for the average user."
