Pros and Cons
- "Palo Alto Firewall is one of the best firewalls in the world."

What is most valuable?
Palo Alto Firewall is one of the best firewalls in the world. It's very clear about the policies and all the security features they have. Also, the user integration works very well in Palo Alto. The WiFi, anti-threat, web filtering features and IT/OT separation are also good.
What needs improvement?
Though the monitoring is fine, the solution should improve its application graphs and interface monitoring. Additionally, the pricing could be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
I worked as a consultant on Prisma Access for one year for one integration project.
