Overall Satisfaction with Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls - PA Series
Company wants to create a secured on-premise Datacenter. To do that we implemented 2 PA VM500 in Active-Passive mode and configured them with Layer7 policies and Micro-segmentation. In this way we monitor in\out traffics and also lateral movements between datacenter services
- Easy web management interface
- Search is powerfull and easly
- Many L7 Applications recognize for policies
- SD-WAN feature is quite difficult
- Dedicated logging server missing
- Entry PA Appliance has slowly web interface
- Commit configuration is slower than other competitors
- We have multiple PA-220 and they are slower than expected after 2 years: 2 major releases were implemented
- With bigger Appliance PA-400 or VM500 we had no issue after 3 years. It's an excellent investment
Watchguard is recommended in Midsize Companies. It hasn't a real L7 feature for policies pfSense is powerful and open-source but L7 feature missing so it's impossible to goal our objectives
