Overall Satisfaction with Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls - PA Series

We started using Palo Alto to achieve network security including the URL filtering/ application control. And we were able to achieve the app control with Palo Alto NFGW. We used IPS to prevent the known attacks and also used it's advanced sandboxing to prevent the zero-day attacks.
  • Anti-malware
  • Sandboxing
  • App control
  • URL filtering
  • User-friendly GUI
  • Difficult to configure via CLI.
  • Documentation insufficient.
  • Migration from other vendor to PA in existing network.
  • One of the best prevention technology.
  • App/content control feature is so powerful.
  • Technical support is up to the mark.
  • Budget it so high.
Palo Alto has a user-friendly GUI and it comes with a single console from where you can manage all the policies and routing. It has advanced capabilities to prevent APT (Advanced Persistent Threat) attacks. Cisco Firepower lacks in capabilities with Palo Alto if we compare it.
