Centralized monitoring enhances control while seeking greater flexibility and rapid response
I am still working for Lotus. We work with Palo Alto three series, Panorama, and Firewall Banu, specifically Firewall three series and five series I find this solution valuable for full monitoring, centralized control for reporting, and centralized management. These features are instrumental in…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature is WildFire."
"The solution, especially the latest versions, is very stable."
"We use the solution for centralized monitoring."
"Using this solution means that you can store logs for longer periods, up to perhaps two years, depending on your attached storage."
"I found logging and management features the most valuable in Palo Alto Networks Panorama. Another good feature of the product is that it lets you define global firewall policies and templates."
"The main value of Palo Alto Networks Panorama lies in its ability to centralize management, similar to FortiManager."
"This is an efficient solution."
"Our team has the option to make configuration changes at any given time."
"The automation because it is saving a lot of work, time, and effort required to do all of our manual work. The change impact analysis is pretty good, and with the automation, it takes care of a lot of things which we would be doing manually."
"The change workflow process is flexible and customizable. We have one guy who has never logged into Tufin ever in his life. He sits down and in 30 minutes had written an automation routine, then went back and changed it. He did that with no training. For me, that is a major benefit."
"They have very good responses regarding integration and internalization with open tickets."
"SecureChange is the most interesting part. It all comes down to having the user request firewall access and SecureChange, based on workflows, takes care of it, sending two or three emails to the business approvers. With one click, you can automate a firewall rule."
"It provides a real-time sense of how the policies are configured and whether there are any shadow rules. Another great thing is that it provides greater reporting based on how the rules have been set up."
"One of the main things is to look at what policies haven't been hit, so we can remove those remnant policies when people come in, use it, and it's still left on the Check Point. So when a couple of users say, "This is not needed anymore." We'll remove it."
"Valuable features include a central pane of management for all the firewalls and the ability to do queries on the rules and understand in which files the rules are configured."
"The stability is bulletproof."
 

Cons

"The solution's utilization of network ports makes things as complex as possible."
"The ease of use of Palo Alto Networks Panorama is an area for improvement. Another downside is that you need a lot of comprehension to understand what it is."
"There is a need to improve the upgrade process. When we are upgrading the solution we are facing some issues with Elasticsearch services. Every time we upgrade it takes a long time to become stable."
"Panorama needs to work on its configuration issues."
"The solution requires more flexibility and quicker response times."
"The dual WAN functionality is missing in this solution."
"There needs to be an improvement in integrating AIOps functionalities into Panorama."
"Lacking in speed and reliability."
"The initial setup was time consuming."
"I would like to see more about the cloud in the next release. They need a large plan to deploy the cloud into the solution and a way to implement it."
"My worry with Tufin is that it cannot connect to Fortinet, which is what I want to do."
"I would like to see visibility into the FW features like IPS/Content Filter policies, the same way it does for FW rules/policies."
"The pricing of the solution is rather expensive."
"While Tufin is suitable for small businesses, issues can arise in larger enterprises, particularly concerning policy-based forwarding and NAT traffic."
"The change impact analysis doesn't even get close to actually solving our problems. I am not impressed with it."
"There are things that could be explained a little better for somebody brand new to this system, which could be helpful, especially if it was in real-time while you were working in the system. Having the ability in real-time to be able to understand search query suggestions would be helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Everyone, I suppose, would like the price to be improved. Price is always a good thing to change."
"The pricing could be lower."
"The price of Panorama is expensive."
"You can buy the hardware only and each box is not even $10,000. It's only $8,000 for the unit itself. However, then you are charged a three-year license at $81,000."
"The solution is priced a bit higher than competitors."
"With the URL filtering, we probably went down from around four hours in response time to about five minutes."
"You only pay for the license and there are no additional costs."
"The price of the licenses could be lower. Still, because we have Panorama with 25 firewalls, Palo Alto gives us a good discount."
"It's not that expensive, except for Security Groups. For us, just the Security Groups were about half of the total price. The total was about €500,000 a year, of which €200,000 was for Security Groups."
"Tufin and AlgoSec were pretty much in the competitive price range, but this one provided us better integration into the Check Point environment."
"It's quite an expensive solution."
"This solution helped us to reduce the time it takes to make changes. We used to spend up to an hour to do a change, and now, it's around five minutes."
"I suggest talking with Tufin about the flexibility of the pricing structure."
"Licensing is available in both perpetual and subscription models, and it appears to be good for our scalable environments."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be lower. It has been cost-effective for us. We have a contract for three years."
"Pricing is quite high. We did compare it with AlgoSec but the pricing is not much different between the two."
