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.

Alex De Miranda - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers a range of security options, including user ID mapping and VPNs
Palo Alto is valued for its GlobalProtect feature, which offers a range of security options, including user ID mapping and VPNs. Clients also appreciate the firewall's deployment flexibility. IoT provides granular zero trust least privilege policy recommendations. The speed of zero trust policy creation depends on the complexity of the desired outcome. However, assuming a straightforward objective, the process can be quite efficient. Once the desired outcome is clearly documented, creating the policies becomes much easier as the necessary steps are already defined. From there, it's simply a matter of configuring the details and implementing the changes. Overall, creating a zero-trust policy in this scenario is a relatively simple process. Customers appreciate Palo Alto Networks IoT Security's seamless integration with various platforms, including Cisco ISE and other Cisco tools like user identification systems. This flexibility, along with Prisma Access integration, allows for comprehensive security across diverse environments and enhances interoperability with existing infrastructure. The risk assessment information from IoT Security is valuable because it guides necessary changes for compliance with best practices. This is crucial for engineers making adjustments and new deployments, ensuring alignment with industry standards. Palo Alto Networks IoT Security utilizes its next-generation firewall as a sensor, eliminating the need for additional hardware. While this multi-functionality is beneficial, it's important to note that the firewall may not be able to effectively handle every security layer, so relying solely on it for all security needs might not be optimal.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Allot IoTSecure is bandwidth optimization."
"From a security standpoint, it provides a comprehensive range of standard security features that align with our requirements."
"It is simple to use. We just need to enable features and then configure IoT policies."
"Single-pass traffic processing enables very high throughput and low latency."
"I like the Cortex Data Lake integration with security automation."
"Palo Alto is valued for its GlobalProtect feature, which offers a range of security options, including user ID mapping and VPNs."
"This solution has been most valuable for establishing a VPN and implementing allow/deny rules. It has also enabled us to create security policies. It is an easy solution to customise when it comes to creating templates and pulling reports."
"The key strength of Palo Alto firewalls lies in their application-based approach, offering a much finer level of control compared to traditional firewalls."
"I like the threat information, and we can share the logging data with Cortex Data Lake."
 

Cons

"Allot IoTSecure could improve by providing better documentation, there was not any documentation on their website."
"There can be more automation in terms of security and detection. It is already good."
"Essentially, this solution focuses on data analysis and cannot perform any physical actions."
"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."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if Palo Alto IoT Security could integrate with Let's Encrypt for free SSL certificates."
"More application signatures are required."
"The cost is still high and licensing is still complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual subscription for the use of this solution. Additionally, there are installation costs."
"The successful migration trend suggests that Palo Alto provides a superior cost-benefit ratio for firewall solutions."
"The pricing for Palo Alto Networks IoT Security is a bit high."
"While Palo Alto Networks IoT Security might cost more than some competitors, its features and effectiveness justify the price tag."
