Fulya ALGÜL - PeerSpot reviewer
Good support, nice interface, and simple to upgrade
PDF format is not available for Alert Composer. There are file attachment or body content output options. The other issue is that the range object can be displayed in the rule viewer section. If we know the range object, we provide imaging, but if we do not know the range object, there is no imaging. It also allows adding range object rules when performing server cloning. In general, however, we have made successful progress since the POC process.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Version upgrades can be done quickly."
"The platform is easy to deploy and maintain."
"Variable creation and template stack functionalities make Palo Alto Networks Panorama a brilliant solution. It is a completely scalable system, with good technical support."
"Panorama provides management functionalities."
"Templates and the possibility to apply a configuration to many devices at the same time are the most valuable features. We are able to create templates, and we don't need to go to each firewall to make changes. We can make changes in Panorama, and it automatically applies those changes to all those firewalls on which we want to apply the changes. It provides centralized management."
"Palo Alto Networks Panorama has good stability. I didn't see any instability from it, and its initial setup was straightforward."
"Technical support is quite helpful."
"Managing the firewalls in the branch locations from a central management console is easier."
"The most valuable feature is WildFire."
"I would improve the management. I need to view charts and traffic statistics, but the management console doesn't share that information with me."
 

Cons

"The product's web page view is very basic. They could add new features to it."
"PDF format is not available for Alert Composer."
"At times we have noticed that we get into issues where Panorama is going too slow or has other little problems. The performance can suffer occasionally."
"From a storage perspective, I would like to see an improvement where logs can be compressed to make some space available."
"The configuration could be a bit better."
"There is always room for improvement in anything."
"Reporting might be an area to improve. It can provide reporting or some sort of graphical representation of your environment."
"The current documentation is not detailed enough."
"The integration between Strata Cloud Manager and Panorama could be enhanced to allow customers to stay on Panorama for many years while still utilizing Strata Cloud Manager for deployment."
"The integration between Strata Cloud Manager and Panorama could be enhanced to allow customers to stay on Panorama for many years while still utilizing Strata Cloud Manager for deployment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its licensing is yearly and multi-yearly. It is not expensive."
"The pricing model is reasonable for this class of solutions."
"If I were to rate the pricing of Palo on a scale of one to five, with one being really high and five being a good, reasonable price, I would rate Palo as a three."
