Awesome Secure Web Gateway
The solution is used across the entire enterprise. We monitor web traffic and decrypt SSL traffic with these units. The decision to decrypt traffic was a difficult decision but the correct one for the organization. This provides more visibility into what is traversing the network and helps IT determine what has actually occurred should there be any kind of incident.
- Decrypt internet traffic
- daily reporting of top internet users
- classify internet traffic in real-time to allow us to understand the organization needs.
- Strong AI capabilities
- needs SD-WAN and cloud security in an integrated solution.
- need stronger state-side support
- requires significant compute resources

Secure Public Cloud
Palo Alto VM series firewalls are used across the organization in protecting our public cloud environment.
Demand in the public cloud is ever-growing. More companies are now migrating to public cloud (Azure, AWS, GCP). Public cloud environments also need to be equally secured as on-prem environment. Palo Alto VM series firewalls allow you to replicate the same level of security on public cloud as well.

- Securing public cloud on same level as an on-premise environment.
- Ease of migration and management, similar to physical infrastructure.
- Provide same level of security features as physical firewall.
- Pay-per-use and flexibility in licensing.

PAN - Solid Choice!
PAN has been a fantastic boon to our users by doing full inline threat protection, Easy VPN configuration, including a uniform interface that scales from small devices to large devices.
- Easy deployment.
- Backups, snapshotting, etc. make returning to pre-change state a snap.
- Threat management, data leak protection, etc. can be done in-line with ease.
- I feel like there is not enough of a support community, similar to checkpoint.
- VPN client is not as user-friendly as Anyconnect.
- No root access to device.
We've been using the VM-series Palo Alto solution in a two-unit HA configuration running on our hardware as an affordable alternative to the PA-series hardware firewalls, without sacrificing speed or features. It services both outbound browsing (NAT, URL-based and deep inspection security) and inbound firewall (signature-based attack mitigation) needs. The AD/Exchange agents make it simple to manage by user, not by device.
- GlobalProtect SSL-VPN/IPsec server and client are top notch.
- The web interface and CLI are both very well documented and easy to use.
- Technical support is knowledgeable and treats tier 1 issues with all due haste.
- Sometimes the configuration gets out of sync between HA peers, it won't sync, and it also won't say why.
- Every time I log in I get warned that the logfile partition is almost full. Yes, I know that, you're deleting the oldest ones, I know: stop telling me about it with a giant pop-up at login.
- I like green, but I wish I could choose mauve as a background color for the web interface.
