Centralized security has protected hybrid workloads and provides deep visibility into cloud traffic
Cloud-native automation and IaC: Terraform support, auto-scaling templates, and API maturity lag behind Palo Alto VM-Series and FortiGate-VM. Dynamically scaling in public cloud requires more manual effort. Third-party integrations and ecosystem: fewer native connectors with SIEM/SOAR platforms, CSPM, and third-party tools compared to market leaders. Documentation and training material: technical documentation and community resources (forums, tutorials, KB) are more limited, which lengthens the learning curve for new teams. SASE/SSE capabilities: the integrated SASE/ZTNA offering is less mature compared to the convergence already provided by Fortinet or Palo Alto. Centralized multi-instance management: managing large fleets of virtual appliances could be smoother; centralized management (HSM) works, but some users would like more granularity and automation.

Unified master data has improved governance and supports flexible cloud and hybrid deployments
I would say it can be a little bit easier to do the configurations because there are a certain number of points where we have to configure the endpoints and the plugins, and what kind of config it would be using. If it would be a little bit similar to on-premises where we do not have to put 10,000 different small things at 10 different places, then it would be a great tool to use. When it comes to integration, there are a certain number of places where we have to put twice those configurations to run them. Sometimes these are being missed and that is not the first thing you check because it has been assumed that the developer has done it. At the end of the day, if we are not able to find it in the first 30 minutes, then we always go into those areas, the plugins where it has to run, the environment variables and everything. Once that is sorted, then we do something else. The first 30 minutes is always spent going into the mapping if it is not running or anything. Then we go to environment variables. That is a little bit an overhead on the developer side. However, other than that, it is a good tool. It would be much easier if few environment variables are straightforward so that once configured, we do not have to configure them for every integration workflow. They should be global environment variables where we can put those tokens into them, config files into them, and that can be utilized by every single workflow which we create.
