We performed a comparison between Palo Alto Networks K2-Series and Palo Alto Networks PA-Series based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is very flexible to use."
"Fortinet FortiGate is easy to use. Anyone can easily maintain it."
"The flexibility and ease of configuration are the most valuable features."
"Unified Threat Management (UTM) features."
"The user interface is relatively easy. The devices are easy to deploy and figure out when you have experience with other security appliances."
"The FortiGate controls the user's activities and maximizes my bandwidth use overall."
"We have found it to be very reliable and that's why our teams and various users in our company use it as our main firewall every day."
"The performance is good."
"It caters to typical use cases across various technologies. MDR and XDR, for example, focus on user and endpoint protection. It's pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable features are the intuitive user interface, ease of use, and reporting."
"I have found that Palo Alto Networks K2-Series has the best security. They are more user-friendly, older firewalls used to have to be configured using the command-line interface, but in this solution, it can be done in the GUI."
"Everything I could possibly want has already been implanted in the new version."
"The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks K2-Series is its management abilities. Additionally, the updates are very good."
"The solution is reliable and scales well."
"Overall, this is a very simple and very effective firewall, and I am satisfied with it."
"We've found the solution offers us good stability."
"The reporting feature and application ID functionality within Palo Alto Networks PA-Series are incredibly valuable to us."
"App-ID is a really good feature."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The cloud-based aspect helps significantly. It integrates seamlessly with other Palo products like Prisma Cloud, offers robust VPN protection, and it's all in one convenient package."
"The solution is used for security and IoT security."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Palo Alto blocks the new threats better than other tools."
"I like the tool's security and web filtering features."
"Fortinet FortiGate should improve the VPN tokens."
"The solution could be more user friendly."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The solution lacks sufficient filtering."
"The support costs and licensing are sometimes so expensive."
"It would be nice if FortiGate incorporated some built-in endpoint protection features. I would also like a built-in SOC dashboard for managing multiple Fortinet firewalls."
"NGN, reporting and controls."
"I would like to see improvements with the antivirus and IPS as they are not working properly all the time."
"We had some issues with upgrading in the past. They could make the process easier."
"The solution needs a series of OS changes."
"The reporting functionality in GlobalProtect needs to be improved."
"Palo Alto doesn't have extended visibility to the end point in their firewalls."
"In the past, we've had trouble with Palo Alto's application filtering not getting it right. I would not be recommending layer 7 application filtering yet."
"The password function of the solution could be improved. Additionally, some of the processes take too long to complete."
"They should implement the features that the other firewalls have."
"The tool needs to improve integration with more products from other vendors. I would like the product to add threat intelligence features as well."
"The product must provide multiple threat detection features."
"The pricing of the solution needs improvement."
"I have found that the tool works well for me, but there are areas where security testing and protection could be improved, especially in virtual or cloud environments. However, in this project, once we deployed it, we haven't encountered any issues. The cost is currently manageable, but as we migrate fully into the cloud, additional features like capacity upgrading and improvements to hardware resources will be necessary, especially since our equipment consists of older generation switches and routers. So, I'm looking for additional capabilities in these areas."
"Palo Alto Networks PA-Series is expensive. We would like to see additional threat hunting features."
"As we migrate fully into the cloud, additional features like capacity upgrading and improvements to hardware resources will be necessary, especially since our equipment consists of older-generation switches and routers."
"Palo Alto Networks PA-Series should improve its price. It should also include a feature similar to Sophos' Security Heartbeat."
"Currently, they are not protected with any data security when they work from home or outside the network. They surf the Internet directly and should implement a proxy or firewall to monitor the data between the endpoint and the internet."
"The web interface is slow."
