"In Panorama, installing the policy, and pushing the policy, it's quite seamless."
"The most valuable feature is the Threat Intelligence."

"This is an efficient solution."
"The solution can improve the integration with open-source tools."
"We could do only one-way NAT-ing, where the traffic comes from outside to internal, to Azure, which is fine. However, when we actually do NAT-ed traffic to hit the firewall, that way is not working."
"The price is okay. This said, the solution is certainly expensive in comparison with other cloud services."
"The tool's security features need to improve. It needs also to include a monitoring system for logs. It is also complicated to find a query on the Azure firewall."
"There should be a simple one-click deployment for a firewall, rather than a set of setup instructions that include steps such as the DNS configuration, et cetera."
"The product does need a bit of configuration. It's not quite ready to go out of the box."
"In the future, it would be beneficial if Panorama could include a firewall assurance feature similar to Skybox."
"A potential improvement for Palo Alto Networks Panorama could be a more competitive pricing structure."
"Customer support can improve."
"The general customer feedback is when saving the configuration, it takes a long time. That needs to be fixed. The troubleshooting, the debugging part is also a little bit of a pain. It's not user-friendly on the interface to do our debugging when comparing it with other firewalls, like Forcepoint."
"The configuration could be a bit better."
"The ease of use of Palo Alto Networks Panorama is an area for improvement. Another downside is that you need a lot of comprehension to understand what it is."
"It is not a cheap product."
