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.

3. Easy to handle common configurations like certain policies, security profiles etc on all firewalls

Palo Alto Panorama and Junos Space Security Director have many similar features but Palo Alto Panorama excels in almost all of them. The monitoring tools in Palo Alto Panorama are easy to use and give more in-depth insight into what is going on in your network. Palo Alto's security is ranked much higher and the Web Application Security is also superior to that of the Junos counterpart.

[Palo Alto] Panorama stacks up really good against Defense Orchestrator. The interface of the Panorama makes it much easier to navigate through and allows for easier management of the Palo Alto Devices. The Cisco Orchestrator lacks in that department while Palo Alto Panorama is loaded with plenty of features.

Compared to other vendors, this is the most accurate next-generation firewall. Their sizing values in their data sheets is very accurate compared to other vendors, so little re-testing and validation is done on our side.

With all their security features enabled, the performance is great.

Palo Alto Panorama offered much more advanced features when we made the switch from Check Point. Panorama takes an application-based approach, while still supporting older port-based methods. For Check Point, at least at the time, we switched from them, application-based security was more of a tacked-on approach. Also, Panorama's interface is web-based, while the Check Point interface was an installed application.

  • Cisco Firepower NGFW (formerly Sourcefire)
Palo Alto Networks Panorama is far superior to Cisco FirePower in terms of threat detection. Other than that it is very fast and easy to use. When it comes to deep packet inspection, Panorama shows all the relevant details needed, while Sourcefire pulls up a lot of details that are often not useful. In addition, the Wildfire feature helps us in detecting malicious files very easily and I have never seen any false positive in it. It also has the manual blacklist tool over Sourcefire which gives us the flexibility to add custom domains and IPs.

Prior to the installation of Palo Alto firewalls, we were using Cisco CSM to manage Cisco ASA firewalls. In my review I mention some limitaitons that we saw with CSM compared to Panorama. The biggest things were the management of common requirements; network, policy, objects, etc. Things that need to go to a groups of, or all of, the firewalls were not handled well in CSM. So each change of groups of servers, like Active Directory servers would require changes on the firewalls individually, with Panorama, we can make one change and push it out to as many firewalls as that change affects and it will not push to those firewalls not using the object, policy or other that was changed.
