We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's very easy to use and configure. What is nice about Palo Alto is that even if you don't understand how to use it, you can just click on upload and upload everything that needs to be blocked.""Edge protection is a valuable feature.""With the IP address flag, I was able to see that I was being hacked. The moment there was an interaction between somebody on my network and that IP, the solution was able to flag it, and we were able to protect ourselves.""The most valuable features are the simplicity, transparency, and overall ease of management.""For those who want a next-gen firewall that's easy to configure and easy to operate, I think you should go for Palo Alto.""You can scale the product.""It is a stable product.""The most valuable features are that it's user-friendly, has interesting features, URL filtering, and threat prevention."

Cons
"Right now we are focusing on email. If Palo Alto can increase the features related to email filtering and the new malware, it would help us protect our systems.""I think they can use some improvement on FID.""In Africa, the technical support is probably not as good as in Europe and the USA because it's a specific premium support, partner-enabled premium support and all of that. But it's really good, I don't really have any complaints, it's fairly good. I'll give them 80%.""Palo Alto's maintenance needs to be improved.""The documentation needs to be improved. I need better information about how to configure it and what the best practices are.""The technology firewall anomaly network could stand improvement.""The initial setup is complex.""The solution needs to improve its local technical support services. There is no premium support offered in our market."

More Palo Alto Networks Advanced Threat Prevention Cons →

"I would like to have more technical documentation that contains greater detail on the types of threats that are occurring.""It would be helpful to have better documentation for configuring and installing the solution.""It is a completely cloud-based product at present.""It would be better if they used the threat intelligence feeds directly from their side and changing the verdict instead of us requesting it.""I would like the tool to see more integration with Cortex XDR. There is no real reason to keep them separate."
