We performed a comparison between Palo Alto Networks Panorama and Tufin Orchestration Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Firewall Security Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable item is centralization and we can get all of the router bases in a single window."
"The most valuable feature is the Threat Intelligence."
"The solution is very stable. It's reliable. We don't experience bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash. It works as expected."
"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."
"Palo Alto Networks Panorama has good stability. I didn't see any instability from it, and its initial setup was straightforward."
"Technical support is helpful and knowledgeable."
"On the one or two occasions that I had to make use of technical support, I felt it to be pretty good."
"It's great for creating signatures and activating activities."
"The most valuable feature are role and objects usage for individual objects and app usage."
"The time that we require to makes changes has been reduced from weeks to days."
"We use Tufin to clean up our firewall policies. It benefits us, because you can run a query for whatever your cleanup criteria is, e.g., "Has it been hit in 90 days?" It displays the list, then you can see the rules right there. If you want to get rid of it (or highlight it), then it creates a ticket that goes ahead and flags them all as disabled. While you can delete them, we always disable first. Then, we have a strip that comes back, and if it's been disabled for 90 days, then the system will remove them."
"Our engineers are spending less time on manual processes, specifically for the reporting functionality. For doing the rule cleanup and policy analysis, it would be a nightmare to do that manually. So, it is saving our engineering teams time from not having to do manual log reviews."
"It gives our firewall administrators visibility into the total infrastructure."
"The reporting on offer is very good. Tufin makes nice reports."
"The visibility is very good. We have managers who are overseeing it, and they are approving things through it."
"The designer gives the ability to know where to add a rule, or if the rule is already in place."
"Instead of searching their knowledge base in their website, maybe they can interact with us in the user interface to explain things better."
"Sometimes in Palo Alto Networks Panorama, we receive issues where it is overloaded and unresponsive. We have issues with accessing the devices due to a slow response from Panorama."
"Its scalability can be improved. It is too expensive to scale it in the way Palo Alto wants us to scale. Scalability is one of the main reasons why our customer is looking for alternatives. It is too expensive to scale. Its redundancy also requires improvement, but it seems that in the latest version, redundancy is improved, and you can have more than two devices in an HA pair. So, they are heading in that direction. It would be good if they combine their dynamic list functionality in a much better way with Panorama and include it as out-of-the-box functionality. Palo Alto supports the dynamic list functionality for some basic threats, but there is a lot of scope for improvement."
"The dual WAN functionality is missing in this solution."
"It is very hard to understand the platform. It is not easy and user-friendly. You need a lot of experience to use Panorama. It is very complex, and you must know exactly what to do. I would like to have a more user-friendly product. FortiManager is comparatively very easy to use. It would be good if Panorama improves in terms of user-friendliness. It is also harder to use than Palo Alto Firewalls."
"The licensing costs are quite high."
"It is an expensive product."
"My pain point is the automation process is not well-documented. There are some things that they could improve on there."
"It could be a little more intuitive."
"We have had a couple issues with the VMs, but I think it was just because they were starving for resources. A recommendation on what the virtual appliances should have for resources would be appreciated."
"I would like to simplify the reports, and maybe have another view besides the charts. Possibly they could be more graphical."
"In the next release I would like to see better migration in the Cloud because that will allow more visibility in the network."
"I think that the interface could be cleaner, and easier to use."
"It does not natively support all of the Check Point functions which is a big deal."
"We need to implement micro-segmentation in our infrastructure, and we are using Cisco ACI. However, we are facing an issue with Tufin, as it does not currently support integration with ACI for micro-segmentation, even though it is advertised as such."
"The solution does not have automation with other Firewalls."
