The Best Next Generation Firewall For your Organization: PALO ALTO
What do you like best about the product?
Palo Alto NGFW is the best firewall available in the market, and this product's stability is incredible. It provides complete visibility and control of our traffic and helps to detect and take prevention measures on vulnerable traffic or malicious event. It has many beneficial features for the organization, like DNS security, which provides sub-features like blocking malicious domains and URL filtering. The following fantabulous features are app-id, user-id and single parallel pass processing, which is the best about Palo alto. If we use different Palo alto firewalls, then we can manage them through panorama and do the changes all in one place, so manageability becomes an easy task. The threat signature database is updated regularly. The configuration part is easy and provides excellent throughput and speed despite the high traffic load.
What do you dislike about the product?
The dashboard or management console is very complex and can not be understood by an average L1 engineer. Configuring policies and making VPN tunnels is a big task and takes time. Talking about the cost, it is the most expensive firewall I have seen. The price is high compared to other firewall vendors. The tech support is not so good. Sometime it becomes tough for priority cases to resolve the issue. They launch a new feature release or some service pack now and then and it becomes tough to adapt to these changes as sometimes they contain bugs and are risky to implement in the production network. There is some issue with the VPN feature of Palo Alto. It needs strong expertise and an excellent team to handle this product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can track down the traffic on the interface, and we can also see the bandwidth consumption that is used by the application. This firewall helped our organization to prevent malicious attacks, what user is using which services and what port, and we can block them according to the requirement. Another use case is that it has a sandboxing technique that helps isolate malicious applications and files containing viruses or malware. We can do DNS security, which is our primary focus and provides threat prevention. We can filter out bad traffic and create VPNs for remote users, and the functionality is flexible. If we compare it to other firewalls like FortiGate and SonicWall, it is the best firewall. The web interface can display all the information about our needs.

Palo Alto, Reliable High Performance Firewall Solution!
What do you like best about the product?
Palo Alto is a solution that provides software and hardware as a complete setup. The other vendors could be deployed as an open server. I mainly consider Palo Alto like iPhone which develops it's own software; iOS and produces the hardware as iPhone. Also, I consider the other rival vendors like Android as an OS and this OS is capable to work with Samsung, Google, Sony, Xiaomi, Oppo, etc. hardware.
What do you dislike about the product?
The zone limitations give me a headache always. And also log screen and log searching syntax are very complicated and not user-friendly. This interface needs to be revised by a UX Designer
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Palo Alto is one of the leaders in Next-Generation Firewall solutions. We can do App-ID, Content-ID, and User-ID based on Application Control. Also, we can manage security policies and NAT policies which are based on Access Control or port control. Site to site VPN works well without any problem but is hard to configure on the Dashboard; you can add the definitions as objects and use them in VPN policies
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sizing is important before deploy. Initial setup is supposed to be done by an experienced expert.
