PP is a great tool to keep Change Management procedures 'under control' in large network infrastructures and/or in scenarios where modifications to infrastructure are deemed critical. It is also very useful as an auditing tool.On the other hand, it might not be that necessary for SMB type of infrastructures.

  • Compatibility to see VPN tunnel ACLs.
  • Reports could be easier to customize.
  • Single licensing Enterprise option. Added other firewalls and needed another license - cumbersome.

For the most part, using the tool is straight forward. Some of the menus could use some work on usability.

Support is usually pretty helpful, though if newer functionality or different uses other then basic configurations, the process to have someone look at it is may be a little delayed. As I am one 1 of 2 staff that use this product, finding the time to train and understand the product is limited. Therefore we lean on Support a bit more than I would like to. They are always very polite and helpful.

Lower cost with the needed functionality we were looking for. Other products may have had more functionality but the cost was much higher.
