"ESET has regular updates, and it gives me good feedback. It's not too onerous like some of the products I've used in the past."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"It provides complete security posture from end-to-end. This has given us better visibility into what our security aspects are."
"Palo Alto’s Panorama centralized management system simplifies our security posture based on our requirements. Instead of manually pulling logs, then generating them into readable formats, it gives us the console in a readable format to view."
"I have not actually called their support line, because we have a direct contact to a senior engineer in the company for any issues that we handle with them. I will say they are very responsive, and they do give you the information you need when you need it."
"It is nice to have a rock solid security platform that we can count on."
"A solid operating system with all the necessary data center security features."

"The stability needs to be improved. There are bugs that you have to deal with."
"In terms of what is lacking in ESET, it really would need more features for the users when they are working outside of the corporate network."

"The reporting part of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There is no proper support channel to follow up on cases."
"The only minor issue we've faced is with the app's ID configuration, which requires specific matching for application filtering."

"Palo Alto Networks VM-Series needs to improve its order process."
"The disadvantage with Palo Alto is that they don't have a cloud-based solution that includes a secure web gateway."
