Product Details

What is Palo Alto Panorama?

According to the information provided by the vendor, Palo Alto Panorama is a network security management solution that intends to simplify and enhance cybersecurity processes for businesses. The product's primary objective is to offer various features, including unified policy management, centralized visibility, automated threat response, simplified configuration, unrivaled scalability, and rapid security adoption. It claims to assist organizations in efficiently managing their firewalls and security tools while maintaining consistent firewall rules across their networks. While no specific industries or professions are mentioned as target users, Panorama has potential benefits for any organization seeking to fortify its network security measures.

Centralized Visibility

The product aims to provide users with the ability to visualize network activity, threat activity, and blocked activity in a user-friendly manner. It also offers customization options for creating personalized views of current and historical data. The product claims to manage network security efficiently by utilizing a single security rule base that covers various firewall functions such as threat prevention, URL filtering, application awareness, user identification, sandboxing, file blocking, access control, and data filtering. The vendor states that Panorama simplifies administration through dynamic updates and configuration management using device groups and other Panorama features. Additionally, it enables organizations to organize firewall management effectively through hierarchical device groups, dynamic address and user groups, role-based access control, policy tags, and preconfigured templates for new rule sets. Panorama is designed to scale easily alongside growing firewall deployment by managing up to 5,000 virtual, containerized, and physical Palo Alto Networks firewalls with a single pair of high-available appliances. Promising centralized visibility into traffic flows across the entire Palo Alto Networks platform while offering simplified configuration options and leveraging PAN-OS® security innovations are additional aspects highlighted by the product's vendor. However, it should be noted that these assertions lack independent evidence or verification.

With Panorama, users can centrally manage firewalls internally, allowing IT staff to handle device management effectively. Additionally, Panorama's Device Grouping feature enables users to manage different types of firewalls and common security requirements within the organization.

Palo Alto Panorama is well suited when you have multiple standalone and/or HA pairs of Palo Alto firewalls in your environments. So it will very much ideal for you to have Palo Alto Panorama server to manage all those firewalls from single console. If you do not have Palo Alto Panorama server and you have multiple firewalls, then it becomes quite challenging to manage all those firewalls individually.

If you have very few Palo Alto firewalls eg. 4-5 firewalls, and those are not going to increase in future then you can avoid it. Because Palo Alto Panorama comes with minimum 25 licenses.

I think Palo Alto Panorama is suited for administrators of all levels because certain things can be locked down to certain permission levels. But there are executive dashboards all the way down to the weeds for the highest of administrators. This truly is a single pane of glass tool because you never have to go into the individual firewalls for anything.

We control access to social media sites through groups. Restricted sites are easier to manage and control. I diagnose issues with VPN and VMWare authentication. When a user is unable to access the VPN due to an authentication error I can log into Palo Alto Panorama and see if they are blocked due to HIP match issues or Authentication Profile issues. If a site is being blocked on the network I can add the site to the allowed list for specific types of users, such as Internet Users or Trucking (groups set in AD). Alternatively, I can block specific sites and domains that are deemed inappropriate or not needed for work purposes.

Pushing configuration to firewalls in the cloud is quite easy, as you can build them and then push all configurations, if you need to add one or few or just do replacement it also easy with Palo Alto Panorama. Similar situation is with firewall onsite but you can't remove them and easy replace.

It offers many advanced features to configure. This is a solution that we implement for our customers. It helps to manage several firewalls from a central location whether from the internet edge side , data centers, in the data centers. It can be deployed to be used either on-premise devices or on the cloud which has great scalability.

I think Palo Alto Panorama is well suited for any deployment greater than one Palo Alto gateway. The more devices you manage, the greater the benefit of using Palo Alto Panorama is. We only have two gateways, along with two user ID agents and several hundred terminal server agents, but it still makes their management much more manageable. It doesn't add to the complexity or require substantial resources, so I can't think of a reason not to use it.

Palo Alto Panorama is well suited for any scale industry. We use it to manage several units of our organization. Some units have low data flow and some like our medicine and media departments have high data flow. Thus it is highly scalable. It has a very easy interface for regular users. It doesn't require programming skills or sound technical background to use. It has a GUI that supports all kinds of operations through the interface. It also has text-based data fields that can be used by people having networking and programming background to reduce clicks. Therefore it is suited for organizations having both technical and non-technical staff. It is hard to find scenarios where it is not well suited. But yes, since it has all the functionalities integrated into it, buying Panorama for a small organization solely for the sake of firewall (if all other defense tools are already there like IDS, screening firewall) could be an expensive and redundant purchase.

We have multiple internal and external firewalls at our headquarters as well as firewalls at our remote locations. Users are always needing to access services and systems at our headquarters and when they tell us they don't have access we can use Panorama to view the traffic and see where they are getting denied. Without Panorama we would need to log into each firewall and see if they are getting denied with Panorama we get an overview of was is happening and it's amazing.

Palo Alto Panorama is well suited if you have more than a couple of Palo Alto firewalls, and if you have a desire to see logs from all your firewalls simultaneously. If a user wants to easily manage configurations without jumping between so many boxes, or if you want to easily manage firewall backups, then Palo Alto Panorama is a must-have, no-brainer decision. I can't imagine managing multiple firewalls without it.

Palo Alto Panorama does well in our environment, where we have specific requirements for different groups of firewalls. Whether by region and/or function, overall Panorama does a very good job of being able to leverage commonalities and push changes to multiple groups of firewalls.Panorama is not a monitoring system. It does monitor things like sync status, and whether the devices are accessible, but it cannot be confused with an active monitoring system, so it is not an all in one solution. Also, as mentioned in my cons, there is no capability for scheduling jobs, to work around bandwidth limitations.
