Massimiliano La Camera - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides cost saving and offers device visibility
I think it's a stable solution and don't foresee any problems in the future. It's a leading security platform and is widely used in Italy. This gives them full visibility of all devices, which is often difficult to achieve. IT managers usually lack visibility into all products and security solutions. However, this platform lets customers gain visibility of their entire device environment. I rate its stability an eight out of ten.

Comprehensive security features with integral network communication view
Real-time monitoring and proactive threat prevention offered by Palo Alto Industrial OT Security is a key feature of the product, which is distinctive since many other security solutions for industrial plant environments are basically able to detect - not protect. They need to be integrated with other security components, making the deployment more complex as more products and solutions need to be integrated. In Palo Alto, we have a single device that does everything. These features contribute to maintaining oversight over my Industrial networks or my customers' networks, and it's very important. It is a way to detect any change in the field, even if changes are made outside the proper control processes. The capability of Palo Alto Industrial OT Security to map network flows and understand asset interdependencies is especially important in complex environments. In smaller environments, which are the most common in my country, the industrial plants usually change very slowly, so this kind of discovery feature is interesting at the beginning but not critical after the first deployments. The positive impact of Palo Alto Industrial OT Security on my organization brings benefits such as a constant view of the intercommunication and connection between different areas of the networks.
