Room for Improvement:ManageEngine could improve its advanced threat detection capabilities, customer support, and scalability. Palo Alto Networks Panorama might lower its complexity in deployment, offer a more cost-effective pricing model, and improve its initial setup efficiency.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service:ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer boasts an intuitive deployment process and modest support services. Palo Alto Networks Panorama offers a sophisticated deployment model backed by strong customer services, which may present initial challenges.
Pricing and ROI:ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer is a budget-friendly option with lower setup costs, appealing for its ROI due to minimized financial barriers. Palo Alto Networks Panorama, although requiring a higher initial investment, offers substantial returns through its expansive functionalities and robust security outcomes.
The technical support for ManageEngine is very good
The technical support from Palo Alto is rated around nine out of ten.
The technical support by Palo Alto Networks is great because the response time is solid.
It depends on the case, with room for improvement in both quality and response time.
When someone changes the configuration or running config in the network conflict manager, it sends alerts to my email.
Scalability is primarily enhanced by Strata Cloud Manager as it is much easier to scale in the cloud than in an on-premises installation.
Scalability depends on whether it's a hardware or virtual machine model.
Palo Alto Networks Panorama is very stable.
In terms of operation, it is quite important that the staff managing the Panorama should be technically sound enough, and they should know exactly what they are doing.
I usually struggle when doing presentations to my bosses because the dashboard and reporting from Palo Alto Networks Panorama are not as polished as they could be.
For example, if a firewall has been disconnected, having a dashboard or a monitoring tab for that would be beneficial without using third-party tools.
Virtual Panorama is well-priced and is sold every time there's a solution.
Commercially, compared to Fortinet, Palo Alto is more expensive.
Palo Alto Networks Panorama is expensive but provides good value for money.
The strong points of ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer are many, but I think my favorite feature focuses on the VPN traffic.
Palo Alto Networks Panorama has positively impacted our organization by allowing a couple of network engineers to use Panorama simultaneously with different templates or device groups, which helps us save time and reduce the complexity of the network.
We do not currently have a SIEM solution, so we are heavily relying on the monitoring features of Palo Alto Networks Panorama to conduct our investigations and log reviews.
I find this solution valuable for full monitoring, centralized control for reporting, and centralized management.
