Palo Alto Networks Panorama Reviews

We use the solution to manage the several Palo Alto firewalls we have. We are customers of Palo Alto and I'm an information systems and security manager.

I think the centralized management is a valuable feature because you can set corporate wide policies and push it out to all the firewalls without touching each one. 

I'd like to see improvement in the speed and reliability of the solution. They're the two things most important to me right now. 

I've been using the solution for the past 18 months. 

The solution always runs but the problems we have occur when we make changes. Sometimes the results are not what we expected. Sometimes you make changes in the software and then you push it to the firewalls. Theoretically, you should be able to make the changes and push at the same time but we have found that we have to save them first and then push. After that it usually works. That process could be simplified. We have two people using the solution.

I can't speak to the scalability of the solution. 

We hired a consultant for the initial setup. None of our staff are firewall engineers. We're more like firewall administrators and our environment is quite complex. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

The ability to manage a large number of firewalls from a single point is most valuable.

Its scalability can be improved. It is too expensive to scale it in the way Palo Alto wants us to scale. Scalability is one of the main reasons why our customer is looking for alternatives. It is too expensive to scale.

Its redundancy also requires improvement, but it seems that in the latest version, redundancy is improved, and you can have more than two devices in an HA pair. So, they are heading in that direction.

It would be good if they combine their dynamic list functionality in a much better way with Panorama and include it as out-of-the-box functionality. Palo Alto supports the dynamic list functionality for some basic threats, but there is a lot of scope for improvement.

I have been using this solution for almost nine years.

It is 100% stable.

It is too expensive to scale, which is one of the main reasons why our customer is looking for alternatives.

Its initial setup is straightforward. If you have a basic knowledge of Palo Alto Networks, you will be able to spin it up.

I would recommend this solution. It is the best in the class.

I would rate Palo Alto Networks Panorama a nine out of ten.

Palo Alto Networks Panorama is used to manage the Palo Alto firewalls.

We are attracted to Palo Alto because it is stable. It is very simple to use.

When they bring anything to the market, it is really well done.

There could be more integrations with third parties.

I have been dealing with Palo Alto for more than ten years, and have been selling Palo Alto Networks Panorama since it was first released.

Palo Alto Networks Panorama's stability has never been an issue for me. It's fantastic.

Palo Alto Networks Panorama is a scalable product.

I have not contacted technical support.

We haven't had any escalation issues, which means they're doing a good job.

We are also selling SentinelOne.

From Palo Alto, we sell everything from firewalls to endpoint security.

I was not involved with the setup.

Licensing fees are paid yearly.

We are in EDR. We don't sell any products or any information for threat intelligence.

If they have Palo Alto products, and multiple sites, it's definitely something they would need.

It is difficult to give it a ten because there is always room for development. I would rate Palo Alto Networks Panorama a nine out of ten. 

We have five to six firewalls, and we manage those firewalls with Palo Alto Networks Panorama.

One valuable feature is centralized management. We are able to manage it centrally for two to three remote offices, our head office and our data centers. So, it is very simple to manage.

The second valuable feature is that it stores a lot of the logs. When we require it, we can get the dump, and we can get the logs.

Palo Alto must provide a cloud-based feature or solution.

The initial setup requires expertise and can be a bit complex.

I would like to see the management be a bit more simple than it is currently.

I've been using this solution for around two and a half years.

I find Panorama to be a stable solution.

As for scalability, I tried to add on a Prisma Access plugin, and it was able to take the load.

There are five firewalls behind Panorama, and there are 200-300 users behind these five firewalls.

We have made calls to and raised issues with technical support, and they have been responsive.

The initial setup is a bit complex and requires expertise. Configuring a firewall is a bit easier than configuring multiple firewalls at a time through Panorama. To create device groups and templates, and to manage everything is a bit difficult the first time.

We have a yearly license. The cost is not that high and not that cheap either.

If you have multiple firewalls, like around 10 to 15 firewalls, then you should go for Palo Alto Networks Panorama. If you do not have more than 10 firewalls, I would not recommend that you go with it.

If I were to rate it on a scale from one to ten, I would rate Palo Alto Networks Panorama at seven.

We use it for centralized management of all their firewalls.

We're using it on-prem.

The most valuable feature is WildFire.

There is room for improvement in the integration within endpoint detection. They need to do some integration between endpoints and the firewalls.

They also need to add a mobile version for product so we can access the interface easily.

The solution is very stable.

It's scalable because it's running on VMs.

Between users and admins, we have up to 5,000 people on this product.

Technical support is very good.

We use different solutions but the interface from Panorama is much easier for management.

The initial setup was straightforward.

I would recommend this solution.

We have a managed services offering, which we give to our clients where we can monitor the different database applications and environments on their behalf. We bundle a service between Palo Alto Panorama and Palo Alto BMCDs, as a set of security controls for them.

The telemetry visibility is really good as well as the automated workflows for creating policies. The overall solution is quite intuitive to use.

The solution could improve by having a true single pane of glass environment for unified management. At the present time, you still have to use three or four different solutions to bring everything together.

I have been using Palo Alto Networks Panorama for approximately two years.

We have not had any major bugs. However, there have been unexpected restarts and a memory leak a while ago, but nothing that the vendor did not fix in a few days.

The solution is easy to scale.

We have approximately 50 people using the solution in my organization.

The support was able to help us with the issues we were having. They are very good.

The initial setup is somewhat straightforward, you most likely will need assistants.

You will need managed services or an IT professional to do the implementation.

The solution is expensive and could be cheaper.

When implementing Palo Alto Networks Panorama with solutions you might require professional services.

I rate Palo Alto Networks Panorama a nine out of ten.

Palo Alto Networks Panorama is a centralized monitoring solution that can monitor remote locations, firewalls, configuration management, and patch updates on a single dashboard.

We are system integrators. We deploy solutions for our client base.

It's a reliable solution.

It could be more secure.

I have been using Palo Alto Networks Panorama for more than five years.

We are using the latest version.

Palo Alto Networks Panorama is a stable product.

It's a scalable solution. We have more than 50 customers in our organization.

Technical support is very good.

The installation of Palo Alto Networks Panorama is straightforward.

The deployment time is based on the client's input. The deployment can take one day, and two days for testing.

We have more than 20 engineers to maintain more than 50 locations.

I would recommend this solution to other users who are interested in using it.

I would rate Palo Alto Networks Panorama a ten out of ten.

We are a solution provider and one of the Palo Alto products that we implement for our clients is Panorama. This product is a management solution for cloud firewalls.

It is a central management and logging system.

When a customer has many locations and they would like to push policies to all of the firewalls from one central location, Panorama is the product that enables customers to do this. They can configure templates and push them out to all locations. This makes it easy to manage.

All of the reports and events from different locations can be managed centrally.

Aside from pricing, I don't have any issues with Panorama.

We have been dealing with Panorama for more than five years.

The product is stable and I haven't faced many issues with it.

Panorama is a scalable solution.

The technical support is nice.

With respect to deployment, they have both the virtualized product as well as the offline version. The initial configuration might take two to three hours, with an additional hour for configuration. I would budget four hours in total.

The price of Panorama is expensive.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
