Featured Reviews

Massimiliano La Camera - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides cost saving and offers device visibility
I think it's a stable solution and don't foresee any problems in the future. It's a leading security platform and is widely used in Italy. This gives them full visibility of all devices, which is often difficult to achieve. IT managers usually lack visibility into all products and security solutions. However, this platform lets customers gain visibility of their entire device environment. I rate its stability an eight out of ten.

Alex De Miranda - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers a range of security options, including user ID mapping and VPNs
The product could improve by offering more comprehensive network visibility and expanding beyond IoT-specific activities to provide a holistic view of the entire network. This would allow administrators to better contextualize IoT device behaviour within overall network traffic. Additionally, while the next-generation firewall's role as a sensor is beneficial, addressing its limitations in handling all security layers would enhance its effectiveness and reliability for broader security needs. In future releases, incorporating advanced analytics for proactive threat detection, automated response mechanisms for IoT-related incidents, and improved scalability for managing diverse and growing IoT ecosystems would significantly enhance the product. Enhanced integration with third-party platforms and tools could also improve interoperability and streamline security management across complex environments. It would be beneficial if Palo Alto IoT Security could integrate with Let's Encrypt for free SSL certificates.

Cons

"Proof of concept could be improved. It could be more tangible to the customer and the end users to have a video presentation or something like that."
"It should support more programmable logic controllers (PLCs)."
"I would like more customizable options for configurations."
"Creating custom queries is time-consuming."
"Nozomi Networks should improve its pricing."
"The solution should include an integration library."
"More application signatures are required."
"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."
"Palo Alto Networks IoT Security's reporting capabilities are less comprehensive and robust than those provided by Cisco."
"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 if Palo Alto IoT Security could integrate with Let's Encrypt for free SSL certificates."
"While not overly complex, its usability could be enhanced, making it a more intuitive experience for everyone."
"The cost is still high and licensing is still complex."
