Executive SummaryUpdated on Jan 5, 2025

Cisco IOS Security and Palo Alto Networks NG Firewalls are prominent competitors in the network security industry. Palo Alto seems to have an advantage due to its advanced application visibility and threat prevention capabilities.

Features: Cisco IOS Security is known for its robust integration into Cisco devices, offering features like AAA, VPN, and IPsec, as well as advanced firewall capabilities. It's particularly beneficial for users within the Cisco ecosystem. Palo Alto Networks NG Firewalls provide deep application visibility, strong threat prevention, and a unified platform that integrates multiple security capabilities, enhancing overall security across different application layers.

Room for Improvement: Cisco IOS Security could improve on ACL management and optimizing zone-based firewall features that tend to consume resources. It also lacks strong native IPS and advanced reporting tools. Palo Alto NG Firewalls are expensive and sometimes challenging to configure in high-traffic environments. There are areas for improvement in their customer support, pricing structure, and reporting and management features for ease of use.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Cisco IOS Security often suits on-premises deployments and existing infrastructures but may require extensive setup for complex configurations. Users note its stability but express concern over technical support responsiveness. Palo Alto Networks NG Firewalls offer flexible deployment, including hybrid and cloud environments, yet involve significant setup and training investments. The technical support can be slow and costly, with room for integration improvements.

Pricing and ROI: Cisco IOS Security is generally cost-effective for medium to large enterprises, though licensing renewals can be pricey. It provides a good ROI through its stable security performance. Palo Alto Networks NG Firewalls are seen as expensive, with substantial licensing costs. Despite the cost, they deliver strong security outcomes valued for their advanced features but may be challenging for businesses with tighter budgets.

Room For Improvement

Enhancements are needed in interface stability, SNMPv3 support, integration, user intuitiveness, analytics, cost-effectiveness, and customer support responsiveness.
Cisco IOS Security needs more intuitive management, better performance, advanced features, and improved integration, usability, and support.
Palo Alto Networks NG Firewalls require improvements in reporting, integration, pricing, ease of use, and machine learning capabilities.
If I have put 10 GBPS of throughput on a firewall and I enable all of these features available, such as IPS or UTM functionalities, the throughput comes down to 1 GBPS.
By providing an integrated solution, users would have access to all features and functionalities within a single window, eliminating the need to navigate through multiple windows.
Investing in a solution that can accommodate such growth would be more cost-effective than repeatedly purchasing new hardware.

When performance degrades due to full packet inspection, the solution should be to increase the computing power within the same firewall, not to recommend upgrading to a larger, more expensive model.
Further integration into a unified system could improve usability.
Palo Alto Networks NG Firewalls lack built-in multi-factor authentication, requiring the purchase of a third-party tool to implement this essential security feature.

Featured Reviews

EhabAli - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficient, user-friendly, and affordable
In the past, NSS Labs was utilized to test files and verify the numbers and datasheets. It would be beneficial to have an organization or testing lab that can verify the numbers in our datasheets since changes are frequently made, which can be inconvenient for review. For instance, when comparing different competitors such as Forcepoint, Palo Alto, and Check Point, the throughput or numbers in the datasheet may be lower than the actual numbers. Conversely, Fortinet typically reports very high numbers, but they cannot be replicated in the real world. Therefore, it would be advantageous for them to partner with a neutral testing organization such as NSS Labs to validate these numbers, thus providing more credibility and comfort to everyone regarding the accuracy of the datasheets. For the migration, everyone has a firewall in use and I am selling Fortinet. Typically, I am replacing another firewall. Previously, there was a tool available to convert configurations from one firewall, such as Palo Alto, to Fortinet, but this tool is no longer free. If it could be made free again, it would be very beneficial. This tool shows a lot of promise and is very good. Making it free would help many companies deliver their products in a more efficient and integrated way. It would also be more valuable to include the tool with the firewall package or license instead of having to pay extra for it. Paying extra puts more pressure on small companies to deliver the firewall and complete the configuration, especially if they have hundreds or thousands of policies. It's very painful to move through these policies line by line. The stability has room for improvement. When it comes to Secure SD-WAN, everything is fine. They are going the right way. SD-WAN is very promising. They can provide the SD-WAN solution separately, but they will not take this approach because even the smallest firewall can support the features, so there is no need to have a separate service or appliance. They are following the right steps, and there is nothing to be improved. Feature-wise, I'm really satisfied with the new release, and the features they have added. For now, it's fine.

User-friendly and excels in documentation, making it easier to resolve issues
Cisco IOS Security is a mature product with extensive capabilities, serving as the base for the defense layer. It offers good network visibility, which helps in rapid response through the Rapid Threat Containment feature. Its deployment and configuration are straightforward. From a networking perspective, for instance, Cisco IOS incorporates time-tested security features. The zone-based firewall feature has significantly influenced our network security management. For instance, when managing multiple geolocations, it's essential to apply geographically appropriate policies. If a customer operates within the UK zone, I need to implement UK-specific policies. This approach is also applicable to customers in the Asia Pacific and UK regions. It enables me to tailor security policies based on the geographical location of my customers, such as adjusting policies for customers in China or Japan. This flexibility helps in creating a comprehensive zone list. Additionally, this feature allows for seamless service agreements between all zones from headquarters, providing access to all zones within the firewall we create. Essentially, it facilitates the creation of zones within the firewall.

Provides inline protection with a unified view and anti-spyware capabilities
I would rate Palo Alto Networks NG Firewalls ten out of ten because it is the best. Our disaster recovery site utilizes Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls. We are also in the process of upgrading the firewalls at our 365 sites in Pakistan to Palo Alto Networks firewalls. While budget firewalls may advertise comparable features, they often fall short of effectively detecting viruses, threats, and ransomware. In contrast, Palo Alto Networks NG Firewalls, combined with Cortex XDR, provide comprehensive threat intelligence and detection capabilities, ensuring superior security coverage. I recommend conducting a proof of concept before selecting a firewall. This will allow you to evaluate different options and determine which best suits your needs. While Palo Alto offers robust firewall solutions, it's essential to compare them with other vendors to ensure you make an informed decision.
