Palo Alto Networks Panorama vs RedSeal comparison

"Panorama provides management functionalities."

"I find this solution valuable for full monitoring, centralized control for reporting, and centralized management."

"The management and the deployment features are most valuable. We can easily deploy and manage the devices. We can do fast deployments without moving from our office and by just providing a short description to the end-user about how to install the physical device."

"Everything about the reporting and everything about Palo Alto Networks Panorama is good."

"The most valuable feature is WildFire."

"Threat prevention and traffic monitoring are the most valuable features for us."

"Centralized firewall management and update management are the most valuable features."

"The best features Palo Alto Networks Panorama offers include the ability to manage multiple firewalls at one time."

"RedSeal has different modules, such as the Analyzer module, which can be leveraged."

"The most valuable features are network mapping and configuration."

"This is the only solution in the world that gives you a digital resilience score."

"RedSeal integrates the network and gives us a visual or graphical overview of our network. If an organization is geographically dispersed, for instance, with one office in Canada and one office in the Philippines, the whole network, including all devices, is integrated into RedSeal, and you can see from where the traffic is going in and out."

"There is room for improvement in the graphical user interface (GUI), which is becoming outdated, especially the NAT section."

"Panorama needs to work on its configuration issues."

"I would like more dashboard management."

"There is always room for improvement in anything."

"The initial setup can be complex."

"The solution should improve the speed at which they make changes on the system. Historically, they've been a bit slow in that respect. They should apply changes to the box quicker and more often."

"The presentation is not really as advanced as what an advanced solution would have provided."

"A bottleneck in Palo Alto Networks Panorama is the licensing. The licensing model for the product is complicated. Another area for improvement is the PDF report generation because you'll notice that it's missing some details."

"There is room for improvement in integrating the OT security part and the private 5G security part in RedSeal."

"One of the areas of concern is the GUI. It is important to our customers that the GUI looks beautiful. It's a Java Client, so you have a Java dependency."

"Sometimes, it required us to refresh the configuration. When we integrated any of the configurations into the device, sometimes, it could not detect the exact picture of that device. So, we had to reset the device to see that if it was giving true-positive results or false-positive results. In some cases, we were not able to get true-positive results. There was some kind of bug in that version. Its interface is not user-friendly and needs to be improved. It takes time to understand the interface and various options. Skybox has quite a user-friendly interface. They could provide a feature for compliance audit policy if it is already not there. A compliance audit policy ensures that all configurations are based on the best practices standards, such as CIS benchmarks standard or other similar standards. It provides visibility about whether your device configuration is based on best practices or not. Usually, such a feature is provided by other solutions such as Meteor or Tenable Nessus."

"The dashboard should be improved to make correlating data easier to do."

"The price of Panorama is expensive."

"Palo Alto is costly compared to Fortinet and Sophos."

"There is a license required to use this solution and it is paid annually."

"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."

"The pricing could be lower."

"Licensing fees are paid yearly."

"We have a yearly license. The cost is not that high and not that cheap either."

"Palo Alto products are generally priced higher compared to their competitors."

"The pricing is based on the number of endpoints and devices, and we have seen it range from mid-five figures to low six figures."
