Palo Alto Networks K2-Series Reviews

I have found the threat profile feature valuable.

It would be really helpful to have dashboards that provide information on IOC blockings such as where and how many. It will also be good to know how many hashing files have been reported. It would also be nice to have easy access to this information. Otherwise, it's a painful, manual task.

I've been using it for about two years.

It's quite stable.

Because we are using the hardware, we are not able to scale. On the VM, it is scalable, but we have got stuck on some areas. Therefore, scalability is an issue.

Technical support is very good. I would give them a ten out of ten.

Positive

The previous solution, Check Point firewall, is having lots of issues. The main reason is that capacity planning was not sized properly. We are also not receiving the type of support we want. Because of these reasons, we switched to Palo Alto Networks K2-Series.

The initial setup was straightforward only because Palo Alto professionals helped us with it. Without the professional service, it would have been a little bit complex.

We used Palo Alto Professional Service for help with deployment.

Nowadays, all of the firewalls provide everything. Palo Alto may cost a bit more, but it provides skilled engineers who are readily available. Deployment is easy as well, in comparison. I would rate this solution at eight on a scale from one to ten.

I use Palo Alto as an Intrusion Prevention System, and as a normal firewall to block and allow IPs and ports. I use it for file analysis and sandboxing as well.

I find the ease of use and reliability the most valuable features of the solution.

The product should get frequent updates allowing us to add new signatures. This is my only concern.

I have been using the solution for four or five years.

I would rate the stability of the product ten out of ten.

The scalability of the product is quite high. I would like to give it a ten. At the moment, I have around 15-16 colleagues using the solution. They are all working in the technical, presale, and IT departments.

In my current company, we have just invested in Palo Alto. We have used other solutions as well. We decided to switch to Palo Alto based on the reports and the experiences of the people who termed it as a very good product.

The initial setup was very straightforward and required just one person for deployment. It took a week to complete the process. I would rate it nine out of ten.

I would rate the product seven out of ten for pricing.

It's quite a nice product. It's worth the purchase. I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

We use the solution as a firewall product.

I use this to provide better content to my students as an instructor.

Palo Alto's App-ID is what differentiates it from other competitors. 

Palo Alto has many other products. It would be nice for these products to be centralized under one tool rather than having to jump from tool to tool.

I have been using this product for four years.

This product is designed for large companies. The price would not be suitable for a small or medium-size company.

Your budget should be your main concern when considering K2-Series as a solution to ensure you will be able to take advantage of each feature or if you would be better off choosing a different solution.

Overall, I give this tool an eight out of ten.

I'm a telecom operator, so all of my IT and network management stuff is behind this firewall. 

Palo Alto K2-Series firewalls could use some technical improvements, like main and standby, as well as FTU and STU support. In addition, they should upgrade the CPU, and there are so many other things that I cannot think of off the top of my head. 

I've been using Palo Alto firewalls for two years.

Product-wise, it's stable, but it takes too long to switch between main and standby — maybe 10 to 12 seconds — and sometimes my traffic cuts out, yes. Also, the CPU processing power is not so good.

Palo Alto firewalls are scalable enough. We have about 110 employees in our company, and we are about to expand to 130.

Most firewall companies offer similar products, like Fortinet, etc., but Palo Alto support is not as good as its competitors. Palo Alto is almost zero. If we have issues, they take anywhere from two days to a week to respond. I even wrote to their CEO because there was no response. When it comes to support, this is the worst company.

We have no idea how complicated the setup is. An agent from Palo Alto did all that and then conducted some training. And if we need something, we have to call the agent.

The price is high, but we've already purchased these two boxes, so we have to continue using them for some time. Unfortunately, the salesperson we worked with isn't a Diamond-level agent, so he couldn't give us good discounts. But maybe a lower price is possible.

I rate Palo Alto K2-Series Firewall six out of 10.
