It's a monster, it's got so many beautiful features. We do deal with other firewalls and we've got a better idea of what other firewalls' capabilities are, any comparison with the Palo Alto I liked the quality of service on the applications that you can control the amount of bandwidth an application is allowed to consume. The best feature is the quality of the application quality of service.

Most of the features of Palo Alto Threat Prevention are alright. I recommend features like content filtering, IP address, & intelligent firewalls. The reporting feature is very good.

With the IP address flag, I was able to see that I was being hacked. The moment there was an interaction between somebody on my network and that IP, the solution was able to flag it, and we were able to protect ourselves.

For those who want a next-gen firewall that's easy to configure and easy to operate, I think you should go for Palo Alto.

The application control and vulnerability protection are the most valuable features.

In Africa, the technical support is probably not as good as in Europe and the USA because it's a specific premium support, partner-enabled premium support and all of that. But it's really good, I don't really have any complaints, it's fairly good. I'll give them 80%.

We are attempting to improve the use of URL filtering beyond threat protection.

The price of licenses should be lowered to make it less costly to scale our solution.

Sometimes when you want to group a set of ports, and communicate with Palo Alto, you cannot group TCP and UDP ports together. This needs to be adjusted.

The documentation needs to be improved. I need better information about how to configure it and what the best practices are.

The solution needs to improve its local technical support services. There is no premium support offered in our market.
