The best of breed for your next generation firewall

  • June 19, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Palo Alto provides a complete and comprehensive solution to secure your in office, in datacenter, and in cloud presence. The security modules alone set this solution so far apart from all of the others. The visibility into the traffic, the integration of rules, and the power behind the physical and virtual appliances are beyond expectations.
What do you dislike about the product?
You get what you pay for. Palo Alto pricing is not for the feint at heart; it is expensive. The UI is powerful, and in some ways that is a draw back because you need to have expertise with it in order to be effective at standing it up. If you are doing a conversion, definitely utilize a VAR's resources to implement a new build out or you will fail.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The appliances we replaced were straight up firewalls. Typical rule creation, exception handling, etc. The Palo Alto does so much more than that. The threat modules are dynamic, the intelligence on the appliances is amazing, and using Panaroma as a central management console hooks them all together to simplify management.
We realized very quickly what really is happening on our network with the instant visibility, and we were able to take instant action. The visibility on the network and the ability to act automatically to mitigate threats is so powerful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure you completely understand your requirements. Document them. Do your homework. Palo Alto can do so much. Don't go into it thinking you will turn everything on and it will all go wonderfully. The Palo Alto is a powerful device that can, if not configured correctly, take down your entire network.

Palo Alto firewalls are great at securing the network. Not meant for all environments as they do not allow any white listing.

Best Next-Gen Firewall On The Market

  • March 30, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Palo is an all-in-one platform that allows the firewall administrator to utilize a single platform. URL Filtering, SSL decryption, deep packet inspection, anti-virus, etc. are all on a single data plane and management platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost of the appliance and support is significantly higher than that of competitors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Logical segmentation of networks within branch offices and data center locations. Also eliminated a separate web filter appliance and are using a single platform with the Palo Alto firewall.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely consider using Palo Alto. Though it is expensive, the quality of the firewall and next-gen capabilities are unmatched to others. There is a reason why Palo is an industry leader on the Gartner Magic Quadrant.

A Real NGFW

  • October 10, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Palo Alto Firewalls have a very good features, one of them is the Log Monitor, is very fast and easy to capture traffic with the easy filter they have. The capacity of you can configure policies for a user AD Group, without depending on the ip address it's a plus. Of course, as L4/L7 firewall and IPS work SUPER!!
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe the only question that I dislike of PA NGFW is the firewall packet flow... comparing with my old Juniper SSG firewalls.... In my Juniper SSG Firewalls you can apply in 2 different Virtual Routers a destination NAT rule for solve a route that match in both VR... In PaloAlto you need to apply the destination NAT rule with 2 different VSYS... so it's more complicated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Palo Alto we can apply security policy rules of L7, apply IPS policies and Antivirus filters.... my old Juniper SSG Firewalls don't support most of them
Recommendations to others considering the product:
User firewall policies
L4/L7 policies
Antivirus policies
A very good Monitor session
