Palo Alto Networks Panorama Reviews

I am still working for Lotus. We work with Palo Alto three series, Panorama, and Firewall Banu, specifically Firewall three series and five series.

I find this solution valuable for full monitoring, centralized control for reporting, and centralized management. These features are instrumental in achieving effective results.

The primary use case for this solution is the management of the entire firewall portfolio across various branches.

Palo Alto Networks Panorama has simplified management by providing a unified interface for firewall management and configuration.

Panorama is primarily a management solution to manage Palo Alto firewalls. Customers with a large number of firewalls need this solution for efficient management.

Panorama has the capacity for SD-WAN configuration, which is appreciated alongside its capabilities for firewall management and firmware upgrades. The SD-WAN capability is particularly valued because it allows for easy management of firewalls remotely. It also provides a single pane of glass to manage its entire portfolio, offering cost savings as less manpower is needed.

I have used Panorama as a log collector and for administration. It's primarily used for optimizing firewall policy posts and reporting.

Panorama has improved the organization by enabling log collection, administration, and optimization of firewall policies. It supports policy migration and offers platform stability and decent uptime.

We deploy Prisma SD-WAN for our NetBackBot and sell Fortinet SD-WAN and Fortinet SRC solutions. We also provide both on-premises and account solutions. Our customers focus on security rather than DLP.

Palo Alto integrates the whole policy into the platform and deploys all policies to every end device, making it easy to manage and deploy policies for IT departments.

We have multiple firewalls in our infrastructure. Palo Alto Networks Panorama serves as the management interface for all our Palo Alto firewalls. As our organization has grown, there has been one company initially, but now three companies have merged into one, and we have increased the number of firewalls. For instance, we have a Palo Alto firewall in our Azure stack and a core firewall from another company that we’ve integrated into our data center. We use Palo Alto Panorama to manage all our Palo Alto firewalls across our infrastructure.

We have centralized management for all Palo Alto firewalls. With the merger of three companies, each previously operating their own Palo Alto firewalls, we can now manage them efficiently through our operations using Panorama. Our network has become more complex as we run various services, including SD-WAN, across three sites. While the SD-WAN operates through a separate firewall, our core firewall remains Palo Alto. Additionally, we use Palo Alto as a perimeter firewall for our Azure stack. In total, we manage four firewalls with Panorama. We monitor various traffic types, including FTP, browser traffic, applications, and unified threat management. We also have SSL inspection enabled and are actively managing and monitoring SSL tunnels and threat management.

The solution is primarily used for firewall management. It is required for clients who want to manage a large number of firewalls in multiple locations. Otherwise, it is not too useful. It makes sense to use the product when the clients want to manage several branches.

Managing the firewalls in the branch locations from a central management console is easier. We can schedule tasks like firmware updates and send rules or policies to all the firewalls in a single stretch. Palo Alto is one of the best firewalls we can have in our environment. It has one of the best back-end databases for signatures and behavior-based analysis. Recently, the vendors integrated it with a lot of AI for threat prevention. Palo Alto is a leader in the market.
