You can raise the capacity as you go, and there is no limit for hardware.
The problem is cloud connectivity and roaming profiles are not working, as there is no option for them.
Scalability is primarily enhanced by Strata Cloud Manager as it is much easier to scale in the cloud than in an on-premises installation.
Scalability depends on whether it's a hardware or virtual machine model.
I rate the solution's stability ten out of ten.
95% of the time, there are no problems interacting with other devices.

The graphical user interface could use improvement as it appears complex and not user-friendly.
Fortinet FortiManager could benefit from integrations with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions.
In terms of operation, it is quite important that the staff managing the Panorama should be technically sound enough, and they should know exactly what they are doing.
The AI module should be on-premises, not in the cloud.
I would like to improve the dashboards on Palo Alto Networks Panorama, especially because I work in an environment where my managers are not really that technical.
I would rate the price 8 out of 10 with 10 being the most expensive.

Commercially, compared to Fortinet, Palo Alto is more expensive.
Palo Alto Networks Panorama is expensive but provides good value for money.
I can automate the installation of configurations using different programming languages like Python or HPE, and it's a GUI solution, so it's pretty easy to use, even for basic users.
Being able to push consistent firewall rules and configuration changes across multiple FortiGates saves a ton of time and reduces errors compared to managing each device individually.
FortiManager captures all devices and provides reports for security analysis.
I find this solution valuable for full monitoring, centralized control for reporting, and centralized management.
We do not currently have a SIEM solution, so we are heavily relying on the monitoring features of Palo Alto Networks Panorama to conduct our investigations and log reviews.
Palo Alto Networks Panorama has positively impacted our organization by allowing a couple of network engineers to use Panorama simultaneously with different templates or device groups, which helps us save time and reduce the complexity of the network.
