Overall Satisfaction with Palo Alto Panorama

We use Panorama on daily basis to manage all of our firewalls as it is a centralized portal that encompasses configuration, logging and monitoring.It helps us eliminate the need to log into each firewall individually , aggregate traffic from all firewalls which gives the visibility of the traffic from end to end across multi firewalls.

Pros

  • centralized firewall management
  • Aggregate logging and monitoring
  • RBAC admin and domain access management
  • Universal configuration templates and objects

Cons

  • User Interface performance and responsiveness
  • Commit and Deployment Process
  • Object and Address Management ( shared vs local)
  • Centralized Management Efficiency
  • Compliance & Audit Support
  • Improved Security Posture
Unified control over multiple firewalls which saves time and reduces errors in policy replication.Policy objects, templates, and device groups streamline complex environments.
Clean UI with dashboard-style overviews and Role-based access makes team management easier.
Panorama is single pane of glass for both firewall logging and management in compare to Fortinet which requires two different tools to manage firewalls : FortiAnalyzer for logging and FortiManager for firewall management.
