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

"Panorama enables you to provision all your firewalls and other things as a cluster. It is quite useful for that."
"The ability to manage a large number of firewalls from a single point is most valuable."
"A valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks Panorama is reporting because it gives you different reports on data, logs, and threats. I also like the centralized firewall management feature of the product."
"Panorama is very easy, easy to administrate, and easy to control."
"Managing the firewalls in the branch locations from a central management console is easier."
"You don't need an overly experienced workforce to handle Palo Alto. It's very easy to use."
"The firewall rules and policies are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"In Panorama, installing the policy, and pushing the policy, it's quite seamless."
"Tufin allows our say junior guys to learn how to view policies. It gives them a tool that will help them consolidate and optimize."
"It is an important application for controlling and monitoring firewall rules. It is useful for making and monitoring the changes."
"Our customer has the ability to centrally monitor and view all changes that have been made in the network, and they are able to revert any problems that they encounter, if somebody has made a problematic change."
"I like the fact that Tufin was able to integrate with our firewalls, which include Palo Alto and FortiGate."
"It is very easy to use. We can get results back quickly."
"It allows administrators to visualize the traffic flow, and troubleshoot when necessary."
"This solution has helped us meet our compliance mandates. Everything is all auditable. Every change is tracked down to the person and time."
"You can easily scale the solution if you need to."
 

Cons

"Palo Alto Networks Panorama currently lacks the capability of integrating with other software, such as AlgoSec to simplify rule management and schedule management. However, this feature has been requested by the company and it is uncertain if Palo Alto will implement it in the future. Additionally, the UI needs improvement, it is too slow."
"Reporting might be an area to improve. It can provide reporting or some sort of graphical representation of your environment."
"There is room for improvement in the graphical user interface (GUI), which is becoming outdated, especially the NAT section."
"As the cybersecurity threats have become more aggressive these days, Palo Alto Networks Panorama can still be improved, particularly on the security side, for example, more network management, and penetration test. Improving the security feature for internal endpoints is needed in the solution."
"When creating remote access for users, it would be beneficial to be able to base the object on on-premises or the cloud."
"It is an expensive product."
"There were a few bugs a couple of years into it. There was a big bug where it had trouble communicating with the two main boxes."
"In our version, there is no feature to transfer or upload a database of third-party vulnerabilities or signatures so that Panorama can convert them into its own database. This kind of feature might already have come in version 10."
"We will be using the appliance based product, which cannot be scaled as much. It is a limitation in the hardware."
"I would really like to see a new UI for SecureChange. SecureTrack 2.0 has quite an improvement in the UI and it flows more smoothly. The current SecureTrack and SecureChange are a little blocky, and sometimes loading a tab or a page is required to refresh information. Whereas in SecureTrack 2.0, they're starting to improve on that."
"I would like easier integration with more automation."
"Currently, we are able to monitor access rules and the operating system of a firewall. It would be great if we can also monitor the configuration of the firewall through Tufin."
"This solution would benefit from better reporting functionality with graphing so that reports can be presented to management."
"I needed more help getting the product to work in the lab."
"The GUI needs more visibility in terms of licensing because it is hard to tell which products and licensed and which are not."
"There are at least two things that need improvement. One is the business workflow and the second is the integration with logging solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"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."
"You only pay for the license and there are no additional costs."
"Pricing is high compared to other vendors in the same space. Licensing is also fairly high for different functions to be added on."
"It is pretty reasonable as compared to other companies."
"Initially, Palo Alto looks expensive, but if you dig deeper then you will find that it is very comparable, or even cheaper than other solutions."
"The price of Palo Alto Networks Panorama is expensive."
"It has freed up staff time, which is where we are seeing ROI."
"The seller of Tufin, when I wanted the solution, was very flexible because the cost on the lease was very high in Latin America. So, he was able to reduce the cost."
"For us, the pricing was six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive and one being the cheapest."
"The additional piece, which we are buying and doesn't include our other solution, is close to 300,000."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be lower. It has been cost-effective for us. We have a contract for three years."
"We have seen ROI from the side of operations, and we'll probably get to more of that as time goes on. However it took a while to get to that point."
"Because we're quite a large company, the price wasn't too much of a factor for us."
"Our evaluation showed that Tufin's features were on par with AlgoSec, but Tufin was the better financial choice."
"Tufin makes things a little easier. It lessens the amount of manual work which we have to do. It has a lot of benefits in terms of revenues, profits, employee costs, and operational costs. We have already seen return on investment."
