"The product was great, and whenever there was a bug or issue, they released updates quickly. Additionally, their support was very good.""I like its flexibility.""Threat prevention and traffic monitoring are the most valuable features for us.""I found logging and management features the most valuable in Palo Alto Networks Panorama. Another good feature of the product is that it lets you define global firewall policies and templates.""All of the reports and events from different locations can be managed centrally.""The threat prevention and layer seven security features were the most used and important for us. All operations are quite good in this solution.""The solution doesn't need a proxy for the Prisma Access Firewall.""In Panorama, installing the policy, and pushing the policy, it's quite seamless."

Cons
"ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer can improve by having better monitoring of all features from firewalls. We are using Kibana in order to monitor parts that this solution does not record. For example, having more correlation and proactive monitoring in some activity or scenario.""The solution lacks a lot of features that other products have in the marketplace.""The stability is so-so. There are always memory issues, but the solution is working great apart from that.""If there is a need to get some customized report or anything, ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer takes some time.""It would be awesome if the product could monitor services for applications."

More ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer Cons →

"Its UI and usability could be improved. The way the UI looks could be improved to make it a little bit more intuitive. Other than that, it is a pretty simple product.""The alerts in Palo Alto Networks Panorama could improve by integration with other systems, such as a forwarding trigger system. For example, if a customer has their own system it would be helpful to have the alarms integrated.""Aside from pricing, I don't have any issues with Panorama.""We found a vulnerability where when we have a low flow, like 2.7K, it is not getting fired by the threat prevention. That's something important to improve on. They should have a proxy or some solution to solve the issue. We also found some issues around decrypting the flow. When we have more flow than expected to decrypt, the performance goes down.""We have had some issues in the past because integrating a new device is not intuitive.""The solution is extremely expensive. You can integrate it with other Palo Alto products, however, it ends up being too much.""The customer support needs to be better.""The initial setup requires expertise and can be a bit complex."
