Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Palo Alto Networks Panorama provides many features, such as alerts, traffic monitoring, and logs."
"One of the key advantages of Palo Alto Networks Panorama is its unified platform that is quite similar to the firewall interface, making it easier for tech consultants to manage."
"Networks Panorama has improved our organizational security"
"The firewall rules and policies are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"It is really useful for big deployments."
"It has shared profiles for all gateways. If I do not have Panorama, I need to create a separate profile for each and every gateway by logging into that particular gateway, but with Panorama, I can create a shared profile and just push it down to each and every gateway connected to it."
"It's easy to deploy any software or policies."
"It has made our ROIs easier, but consolidating the correlation of data into one single point, which is pretty great."
"I like the deployment and management of this solution."
"One of the things that came up this week was the ability to decommission a server, which we thought was interesting. We had a workshop recently that talked about all the things that need to be thought about when managing firewalls. People said, "A lot of times, things get forgotten when you are decommissioning a server." E.g., making sure rules are taken away and taking out the rule set. The fact that there is an automated workload for that can be helpful."
"There are a lot of benefits to using the reporting. It gives us duplicate objects, duplicate services, shadow firewall rules, and the firewall rules not needed for a given number of days or months."
"The designer gives the ability to know where to add a rule, or if the rule is already in place."
"I like the fact that Tufin was able to integrate with our firewalls, which include Palo Alto and FortiGate."
"The Topology Map, which feeds into our SecureChange - the latter being an automation platform - there's a lot of synergy between the two."
"It's hard to pick the most valuable feature. All of them are valuable, they're all critical for us... ChangeTrack obviously has a lot of very good features, like the risk analysis, the USP, and the Policy Browser."
"Tufin is our audit trail for all changes. We have to be PCI compliant, and it's the tool we go to for enforcing PCI on the network side."
 

Cons

"I am observing that whenever pushing our configurations sometimes the configuration will not push properly and then we have to go to the individual firewall and save it again."
"The product could offer more integration with other solutions."
"We had some challenges with the initial setup, but it was more on a learning curve basis."
"I would like to have better analytics."
"Palo Alto Networks Panorama could improve by making the solution less expensive."
"The integration between Strata Cloud Manager and Panorama could be enhanced to allow customers to stay on Panorama for many years while still utilizing Strata Cloud Manager for deployment."
"Customer support can improve."
"Sometimes in Palo Alto Networks Panorama, we receive issues where it is overloaded and unresponsive. We have issues with accessing the devices due to a slow response from Panorama."
"There was some complexity during the initial setup"
"I would like easier integration with more automation."
"I would like to see AI elements included with this solution."
"I haven't seen the cloud integration yet, and I would like to see if we could audit the cloud firewalls, like the cloud-native, Azure, and Amazon. That would be nice. You want one tool to do everything. I don't want to use another tool, or manually go and audit the cloud firewalls."
"I would like to see the hardware specifications improved."
"We use a lot of inline rules, and it would be beneficial to see those from within Tufin."
"Currently, we are able to monitor access rules and the operating system of a firewall. It would be great if we can also monitor the configuration of the firewall through Tufin."
"At least in our environment, the dynamic learning of the topology needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Palo Alto Networks Panorama is expensive."
"The pricing could be lower."
"Sometimes the company prefers to give a license to test the product in our environment before we go to the customer. But the customer should buy his own license, and that's the system here. The system is different between one country and another. Some countries say that the IT solutions provider should provide the license."
"Pricing for Palo Alto Networks Panorama is always high. If you're going to sell the product, you always have to talk about the technology because it should be about the solution rather than the price."
"The price of the licenses could be lower. Still, because we have Panorama with 25 firewalls, Palo Alto gives us a good discount."
"You only pay for the license and there are no additional costs."
"There is a license needed to use Palo Alto Networks Panorama. The cost is not that important, what is important is meeting all the requirements and security features."
"Its cost is quite high."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be lower. It has been cost-effective for us. We have a contract for three years."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution is more reasonably priced than its competitors."
"There are ways to deploy the license to different types of firewall. However, if we decide to change the physical brand of the firewall, we need to go back to Tufin and modify the licensing. This is a hassle."
"The additional piece, which we are buying and doesn't include our other solution, is close to 300,000."
"For us it's around $40,000 or so."
"This solution helps us reduce the time it takes us to make changes. We're probably saving time by 25%."
"I had a bad experience with the financial department, and the price is too high. The software does work and does the job. The solution is worth the money. If I had a different partner to implement the solution, it would have been worth the price."
