Overall Satisfaction with Palo Alto Networks Advanced URL Filtering
All internet traffic passes through our Palo Alto firewalls with Web Filtering enabled regardless of the point of origin within our network. We do both web filtering and SSL inspection. We create custom access permissions based on active directory group membership or IP address range. The Palo Alto Advanced URL filtering feature was a cost-efficient way to manage access to the internet and provide the necessary protection for our users.
- Custom categories.
- URL Specific filtering on YouTube.
- Easy overrides for SSL inspection.
- The UI is a bit confusing as to where you need to go to do things. It's made more so by the inclusion of Panorama, the centralized management tool, as some things have to be done in Panorama and others on the active node.
- Solid performance and throughput.
- Excellent support.
- Palo has been an excellent investment for us.
- Having robust URL filtering built into the same device as the firewall saves the cost of a separate appliance and improves performance.
Barracuda was a good product but couldn't keep up with our needs as we grew bigger. Forcepoint had the worst technical support I've ever seen. Palo outshines them all.
