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.

Our company uses the solution for monitoring and policies. We monitor data, make rules for firewalls, and allow source IPs to destination IPs with respect to ports and services. 

We also use UR filtering to allow or block things. We have a Prisma Access Firewall that we allow or block for remote users. 

We use the solution in a hybrid model with multiple on-premises instances plus the cloud-based version. 

The solution doesn't need a proxy for the Prisma Access Firewall. 

We can maintain our own policies within the solution and block things from the proxy perspective. 

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.

We are doing the centralized network for the global base. We have several countries with different firewalls being used and we are also cataloging the log to keep data on that. When we're having some issues, we can track back the details via Palo Alto Networks.

Most firewalls are the same, however, it depends on the service. If they have a good service, that means they guarantee that our business does not have any impact. That is a very important part of business today.

Palo Alto is very user-friendly.

It's a stable solution

Technical support is quite helpful.

We can scale well.

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.
