Cons	Cisco No answers on this topic	Palo Alto Networks High Availability can be improved to allow active-active deployment All command line documentation to provide and support automation It will be nice to have link aggregation just like in the hardware firewall models.

Usability	Cisco No answers on this topic	Palo Alto Networks It is very easy to use, even for those with little experience in this particular firewall. Some of the advanced content filtering and content-based policies are difficult to pick up; however, almost all required decoders are built in. Built-in logging and rule testing make rule definition easy, and labels/tags allow filtering, grouping, and categorisation of rules. Updates are easy, and high availability is also reliable.

Support Rating	Cisco No answers on this topic	Palo Alto Networks Palo Alto VM series are best selling and industry's top-selling security product which customers prefer while securing their public cloud environment Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Cisco No answers on this topic	Palo Alto Networks palo alto firewalls are application-oriented systems. They can beat other product which are based on layer 3/4 inspection. Vm series are also quickly available and could be useful in urgent deployment needs . other vendors like Fortinet and cisco could take much more time to provide the VM and in some cases installation and license validation are complicated Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Cisco No answers on this topic	Palo Alto Networks ROI has been achieved quickly through lack of security incidents. Inline filtering happens at line rate, unline Sourcefire from Cisco. Great incentives from PAN to switch made a difference in the choice to change.
