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."
"It's great for creating signatures and activating activities."
"Palo Alto technical support is excellent."
"The interface is very easy to use. You can do most jobs from one single console."
"Networks Panorama has improved our organizational security"
"It's a reliable solution."
"The product was great, and whenever there was a bug or issue, they released updates quickly. Additionally, their support was very good."
"From a configuration point of view, when we are implementing it for large organizations where the customer owns a hundred firewalls, it's just easy to manage them all at one central location."
"Threat prevention and traffic monitoring are the most valuable features for us."
 

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."
"Sometimes in Palo Alto Networks Panorama, we receive issues where it is overloaded and unresponsive. We have issues with accessing the devices due to a slow response from Panorama."
"My pain point is the automation process is not well-documented. There are some things that they could improve on there."
"Panorama needs to work on its configuration issues."
"The notification and alerting system could be improved."
"The central firewall management could be better."
"My company's getting whatever it needs from Palo Alto Networks Panorama, but in the cloud, there's an issue with CPU management, and that's an area for improvement. Though the normal data traffic doesn't go through the management interface, whenever there's an increase in the throughput, CPU management becomes high. If you increase the load, CPU management spikes, and it's what needs to be taken care of in Palo Alto Networks Panorama."
"Clients need to have an alarm and alert system from which they can forward the trigger. The product needs to improve its integration as well."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Opinnate is inexpensive than other products."
"With the URL filtering, we probably went down from around four hours in response time to about five minutes."
"Its licensing is yearly and multi-yearly. It is not expensive."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is paid annually."
"We're a reseller, and we're an MSSP. So, we get some extreme discounts."
"There is a license needed to use Palo Alto Networks Panorama. The cost is not that important, what is important is meeting all the requirements and security features."
"Pricing is high compared to other vendors in the same space. Licensing is also fairly high for different functions to be added on."
"You only pay for the license and there are no additional costs."
"Pricing for Palo Alto Networks Panorama is always high. If you're going to sell the product, you always have to talk about the technology because it should be about the solution rather than the price."
