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.

Monitoring and managing multiple firewalls has become more efficient through centralized oversight and reliable logging
I would say that while Palo Alto Networks Panorama reporting capability is functional, it is not really intuitive. The presentation is not really as advanced as what an advanced solution would have provided. I would like to improve the dashboards on Palo Alto Networks Panorama, especially because I work in an environment where my managers are not really that technical. They do a great job leading us, but they do not have a technical background. If the dashboard could be improved to suit more executive use cases when it comes to reporting, that would be excellent. It is basic as far as I am concerned, and from an executive standpoint, it is not really that good. I would rate Palo Alto Networks Panorama as a product nine or 9.5 out of ten because there is always room for improvement, especially on the dashboard. I think if they could improve the dashboard, I would give them ten out of ten because from a technical standpoint, the dashboard is good, but at an executive level, it is not really that good. I usually struggle when doing presentations to my bosses because the dashboard and reporting from Palo Alto Networks Panorama are not as polished as they could be.

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."
"I evaluated another solution, but Panorama is easy to use and deploy, plus the performance is better."
"Compared to all of the other firewall vendors, Palo Alto is very secure."
"The initial setup isn't very complex, it's user-friendly."
"You can easily troubleshoot any issue, you will also get clear information, and, in general, it's a very good product that allows you to manage more than one device from a central interface."
"The solution is suitable for all sized businesses."
"The entire ease of use is most valuable. If you're managing firewalls locally with PAN-OS, the look and feel of Panorama is the same. So, you don't have to relearn another product. If you're used to managing firewalls from Palo Alto, you can easily use Panorama to manage them. It looks and feels the same."
"I find this solution valuable for full monitoring, centralized control for reporting, and centralized management."
"The solution is easy to use."
 

Cons

"PDF format is not available for Alert Composer."
"The product's web page view is very basic. They could add new features to it."
"The troubleshooting, the debugging part is also a little bit of a pain. It's not user-friendly on the interface to do our debugging when comparing it with other firewalls, like Forcepoint."
"I think the multitenancy of this solution can be improved."
"The customer support needs to be better. Sometimes we need to wait for hours before getting someone from the product team or someone from the Palo Alto customer support to get on a call if we are facing some issue."
"The product does need a bit of configuration. It's not quite ready to go out of the box."
"I would like to see Networks Panorama more integrated into the firewall solutions rather than being a separate component."
"Lacking in speed and reliability."
"It should have more connection with Threat Intelligence Cloud. They can also include features related to SecOps and automation API."
"There are times when we are backing up a device centrally, we do not get a full backup."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Opinnate is inexpensive than other products."
"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."
"It has freed up staff time, which is where we are seeing ROI."
"Pricing is high compared to other vendors in the same space. Licensing is also fairly high for different functions to be added on."
"We pay approximately $3,000 a year in order to use the product."
"It is pretty reasonable as compared to other companies."
"The price of Palo Alto Networks Panorama should be reduced. We pay for the solution annually."
"The pricing is pretty average. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate it a five."
"The price of Panorama is expensive."
