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.

  • Reduced a lot of threats by blocking poorly reputed domains automatically, saving us a lot of time, which we would have otherwise spent on putting it on the manual blacklist.
  • Helped us in almost discontinuing with the Cisco Firepower, saving a lot of money, with its powerful IDS feature.

  • Panorama seems expensive but when you compare it to other software it really isn't and the features make it worth every dollar.
  • Have panorama allow us to have entry-level team members help out even if they don't understand our whole network they can just go to panorama and know that find the info they need and what device the issue is happening on.
  • It has brought peace of mind to our security knowing that all policies can be managed through a central system and patches and updated can be centralized.

  • At a previous company, I deployed Palo Alto firewalls to a data center, and 12 branch locations. This allowed us to replace MPLS links with IPSec tunnels between the sites. This resulted in significantly more throughput and soft savings of increased productivity. However, the estimated net of $220,000 in hard savings over five years is what is most impressive. I could not have effectively managed all those devices without Palo Alto Panorama.

  • Overall, it has reduced the time that our administrators have had to spend managing firewall configurations. While we used Cisco CSM previous to migrating to Palo Alto Panorama, it was not as robust with its capabilities to manage groups of devices.
  • One big advantage that we have seen is the reduction in the amount of time it takes to roll out a new firewall installation. With the grouping of firewalls, the majority of the configuration is in place and only new objects and site specific requirements need to be added. This significantly decreased time to go live for new sites.
