I would rate Palo Alto Network IoT Security eight out of ten. We used Palo Alto firewalls for approximately three years, having purchased them in early 2021 with a three-year license. However, due to the high renewal cost and insufficient return on investment for our needs, we replaced them with Fortinet firewalls. Despite the Palo Alto hardware having a lifespan of four to five years according to our policy, we found the Fortinet dashboard more suitable and cost-effective. My experience and that of my administrators in traditional methods have led us to prioritize manual oversight within our 24/7 operation. Due to the potential for significant impact from any past adverse incidents, we minimize reliance on automation. We focus on ensuring the functionality of existing systems and policies, favoring manual implementation for greater control and reliability than automated tools. Deploying Palo Alto firewalls takes a similar amount of time as it did migrating from Palo Alto to Fortinet. During my experience deploying Cisco firewalls, I encountered an issue where companies failed to share information effectively. A seamless transition between platforms could be achieved if vendors provided tools to translate configuration files. However, this is often not the case, especially for IoT devices, leading to manual configuration, which is time-consuming and dependent on available resources and the specific network environment. In my experience, migrating between firewall platforms takes a considerable amount of time regardless of the vendors involved. I recommend enhancing integration capabilities and making policy creation easier. Better integration and streamlined policy processes could significantly enhance user experience.

It is very important for the next-generation firewall to act as a sensor, eliminating the need for extra hardware deployment or management, and allowing seamless communication with the external world. Palo Alto Firewall does not have an inbuilt system for Zero Trust. They have a separate solution called Prisma Access that can be integrated, whereas Fortinet Firewall has an inbuilt system, so the Fortinet Firewall can act as a zero-trust data capture gateway. Palo Alto Firewall requires a separate solution, so there are additional system requirements. I would rate Palo Alto Networks IoT Security an eight out of ten.
I would rate Palo Alto Networks IoT Security eight out of ten. We have around 30 users in our organization. It is crucial for us that the Palo Alto Networks IoT Security firewall acts as a sensor requiring no extra hardware to deploy or manage. Maintenance is required because Palo Alto Networks IoT Security relies on updates to function effectively.
