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.

Palo Alto Panorama gives the centralized tool for managing all the Palo Alto firewall gateways across regions, DCs etc.
It gives easy way to manage firewalls, avoids duplication of works in case you need similar policy sets / configurations on multiple firewalls and also gives centralized logs across all the firewalls behind it.

In shorts, you can manage multiple Palo Alto firewalls from single console without login into the actual firewall. So it is highly recommended when you have large environments and you have multiple single or HA pairs of Palo Alto firewalls in it.

We use Palo Alto Panorama to manage multiple firewalls at multiple locations. We have approximately 25 locations and at some locations we have multiple firewalls. We are also using the firewalls to implement SDWan. We are able to use multiple internet connections to do load balancing at a branch which saves money on higher priced internet connections.

I use Panorama every day just because of the vast set of features it has. Sometimes I will be building new rules, sometimes, I will be creating new address objects, and sometimes I will be setting up User-ID to attach user accounts to the traffic I see in the firewall. All with just a couple of clicks from the same dashboard.

We use Palo Alto Panorama to manage our firewall access for end-users. We control access to restricted sites and the VPN service. Through the Monitor tab, I am able to view the logs for URL filtering for specific users and see if users are being blocked in VPN due to a HIP Match issue. In the Objects tab, I am able to restrict or allow specific sites and domains based on URL categories.

We are using Palo Alto Panorama as the main system for any firewall changes, so all of them are sync with similar setup. We have firewalls which are managed by Palo Alto Panorama in cloud and on prem and all is working fine. We have noticed couple problems with verification while some by accident misconfigured end firewall and panorama and panorama didn't catch it up. But otherwise company is happy about using it.

Palo Alto Panorama is being used as our main Firewalls management for over 50 clients. Panorama makes it easier to manage, configure, and monitor remotely. It saves a lot of time by allowing us to manage all firewalls from a single location.

We currently utilize [two virtual Palo Alto] Panorama's in an HA pair. It is an excellent tool to manage multiple Firewalls across our Organization.
We have over a dozen locations with multiple Palo's, so having Panorama is critical to save time having to configure\update each Firewall.
[Palo Alto] Panorama allows for ultimate management scalability from 2 to 1000's of Firewalls.

It is used across the whole organization. Panorama can help in managing the administration of a large number of Palo Alto firewalls. It is a centralized interface for Palo alto firewalls, Global protect, cloud services, and logging service instead of logging into each device. There are device groups and templates that can ease administrative efforts.

Panorama helps to manage many Palo Alto firewalls in one interface. You will find device groups and templates that reduce administrative efforts. Policies are easily configured and deployed with a great web filtering module. Furthermore, you can have either a hardware or a software VM to choose from.

PaloAlto Panorama is the firewall that we use in our organization. The firewall protects all the departments of the University for malicious actors. However, defining the rules, and managing them is done by our team. This next-gen firewall has a lot of potentials to surpass the other giants in this field like Cisco and Juniper. There are different functionalities of this firewall that include integrated Intrusion Detection System (IDS), next-gen packet filter, IP and domain filter based on reputation and threat hunt based on signatures. With time it became an indispensable tool for our team acting as a one-point solution for all our needs. Its signature-based detection system is the best I have ever seen, much better than Cisco FirePower. They keep their database updated all the time, thereby reducing false positives and false negatives. It has a feature called "Wildfire" that detects malware that has been downloaded in our network. This reduced our dependency on McAfee. Other than fulfilling our security needs at a good price, it also helped in saving money by reducing the need for Cisco's Firepower which we are about to discontinue soon.

Panorama is used by two groups in our organization our campus networking team and our network engineering team. Each has its own instance of Panorama but each team uses the other system to troubleshoot issues and allow and deny access over the network. Panorama helps simplify things instead of trying to guess which firewall we need to look at we can query them all and save time. In the end, Panorama saves us time and money by simplifying and combining our firewalls.

Palo Alto Panorama is used by our network security team to manage all configurations for six Palo Alto firewalls on three different sites. It allows the members of our team to keep consistent configurations across these devices and to re-use certain policies rather than creating them individually on each device. This also helps us ensure that we have backups of the firewall configurations. We also use Panorama to aggregate firewall logs. Searching logs in Panorama is much faster than searching on the firewalls themselves, so it's a big time saver. The fact that we can give members of other teams, such as our SOC or networking teams limited access to view configurations without giving them direct access to the firewalls themselves is a good way to keep information available but still maintain separation of duties.

We use Panorama to manage firewalls internally. Management of devices is only done with IT staff. OT staff have some auditing capabilities. We use Panorama's Device Grouping to be able to manage different types of firewalls in the organization, as well as common security requirements with the different types of firewalls.
