Featured Reviews

Kaushlendra Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Useful bandwidth optimization, reliable, but difficult to implement
The deployment of Allot IoTSecure took approximately one week and it is very difficult. When using a different solution, if you install one device, you can easily install another device. However, in Allot IoTSecure, you have to use the help from Allot. Without the help of Allot, it is not possible to configure it.

Recognizing and classifying devices with AI and machine learning boosts security without extra network controls
Palo Alto Networks IoT Security ( /products/palo-alto-networks-iot-security-reviews ) integrates with a cloud-based engine that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning for device recognition and classification based on traffic types. This adaptability, which does not rely strictly on a static database, allows for identifying a wider range of devices. The behavior-based identification of devices enhances the capabilities of security controls, extending the network security platform's recognition capacity without deploying a separate network access control system.

Cons

"Allot IoTSecure could improve by providing better documentation, there was not any documentation on their website."
"It would be beneficial if Palo Alto IoT Security could integrate with Let's Encrypt for free SSL certificates."
"It would be beneficial to have a more centralized and user-friendly platform that could consolidate all the necessary information, which proved challenging during the initial POC phase."
"While not overly complex, its usability could be enhanced, making it a more intuitive experience for everyone."
"The support is in line with Palo Alto Networks services for other products but needs improvement."
"The reporting for this solution could be improved. The logs we receive are only saved for one week. We would like to have the database timeframe increased to a month or two for historical reporting as well as increased storage capabilities to support this data and reporting."
"There can be more automation in terms of security and detection. It is already good."
"The cost is still high and licensing is still complex."
"Palo Alto Networks IoT Security's reporting capabilities are less comprehensive and robust than those provided by Cisco."
