Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"You don't need an overly experienced workforce to handle Palo Alto. It's very easy to use."
"The solution is absolutely stable."
"The main value of Palo Alto Networks Panorama lies in its ability to centralize management, similar to FortiManager."
"What's most valuable in Palo Alto Networks Panorama is that it allows us to see the status on the network side, particularly on the endpoint, because we also use it for the internal network."
"Firewalls: The application ID capabilities have been very useful for things like Active Directory, and not having to identify every port that Microsoft has decided to use."
"Networks Panorama has improved our organizational security"
"The application ID or App-ID feature is a good feature for us. We are also using IPS and content inspection features. The firewall can inspect the packages that are passing through my network."
"I like its flexibility."
"The visibility is huge. In order to figure out what was going on previously, we would have to pull stuff out of firewalls and put them in spreadsheets, then do sorts. Now, it's all right there in Tufin. We can write reports to look for what we need, ad hoc searches to find object groups, and know which firewalls are on. This was almost impossible to do previously."
"We can check and analyze the current status of our firewall rules."
"I like the policy topology map, which allows us to visualize the picture of the security policy of the whole organization."
"The features I have found most valuable are its capability to check on the firewall and the routers. Afterwards it checks out all the configs, checks the vulnerabilities, checks the risks - it checks everything that may end up causing our router to be compromised. At the end it recommendations what we should do."
"This solution provides a more organized manner for us to track towards compliance for our PCI audits."
"The reporting on offer is very good. Tufin makes nice reports."
"SecureChange makes our lives easier with automation."
"The stability is bulletproof."
 

Cons

"Lacking in speed and reliability."
"This would be a better solution if it were more tightly integrated with the firewalls."
"The dual WAN functionality is missing in this solution."
"There is room for improvement in response time for tech support."
"Reporting might be an area to improve. It can provide reporting or some sort of graphical representation of your environment."
"The initial setup can be complex."
"The alerts in Palo Alto Networks Panorama could improve by integration with other systems, such as a forwarding trigger system. For example, if a customer has their own system it would be helpful to have the alarms integrated."
"It could be easier to manage. In the future, it should be much easier because it's not very easy to manage. So in the next release, I think it should be much easier to manage, especially in the first configuration. It could also be more stable."
"The initial setup of Tufin was complex. We had some issues with the architecture."
"The reports could be easier to read and more customizable. Also, capturing some of the different versions, and being able to dig through them could be a bit better."
"We actually had a key issue, which was a bug, that the development team didn't want to fix. We escalated it, then it got fixed. So, the management level seems very responsive at least, but at a support level, they are just regular support people and not outstanding."
"I haven't seen the cloud integration yet, and I would like to see if we could audit the cloud firewalls, like the cloud-native, Azure, and Amazon. That would be nice. You want one tool to do everything. I don't want to use another tool, or manually go and audit the cloud firewalls."
"I would like to see API access into every aspect of Tufin."
"We found some bugs on the software, but we're working with tech support to fix them."
"We will be using the appliance based product, which cannot be scaled as much. It is a limitation in the hardware."
"The solution does not have automation with other Firewalls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cost-wise, it's very expensive."
"Everyone, I suppose, would like the price to be improved. Price is always a good thing to change."
"It has freed up staff time, which is where we are seeing ROI."
"Although I don't have direct knowledge of the setup cost I believe it is mid-range."
"It is not a cheap solution."
"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."
"Palo Alto products are generally priced higher compared to their competitors."
"We're a reseller, and we're an MSSP. So, we get some extreme discounts."
"The licensing costs are around $250,000 to $300,000."
"For us it's around $40,000 or so."
"I just wrote a purchase order for it. It is a $150,000 a year."
"There is no issue with the pricing because we used a VM. That kept the cost low, as compared to an appliance."
"Our licensing costs are three million total and then we pay for maintenance, which is an additional cost for three years."
"The solution has helped reduce the time it takes us to make changes. It helps make overall integrated changes immediately. It allows us to cut down at least a few hours in the week in regards to changes and monitoring."
"Our licensing costs are pretty low. We were grandfathered in, so we are at about $35,000 per year."
"Our engineers are spending less time on manual processes: 20 to 30 hour plus."
