A Genuine Review on Palo Alto Networks Cloud NGFW
What do you like best about the product?
I love the capabilities of securing the customer data in multiple clouds. Its very helpful in multi-cloud deployment.Infrastructure as a code(IAC) support (exclusively Terraform) on these platforms enhances the configuration management and useful to swiftly deploy the implementations easier. The extensive rule set and L4 and L7 filtering helps to stop the attacks in a proactive manner. The extensive documents and easy to use UI capabilities helps in flexibility. Integration support with the different infrastructure components including cortex stack provides comprehensive protection. Furthermore, i appreciate the swift customer support from the expert teams (including customer experience and engineering). I guess easy to terminate improves the frequency of usage of these devices.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be further enhanced by maintaing a single central manager between different clouds, I would love to see the dockerized containers to be deloyed for production.

Easy of implementation. A secure software in cloud that helps thwaring the attack. Enhancing the protecting on the attack surface. Easy administration are the benefits

Palo Alto is a good product. The features are up to the mark. No other product can compete with Palo Alto’s features. The filtering feature is good. We can block the traffic and examine the report easily. The blocking functionality works very well compared to other firewalls. I rate the ability of the tool to keep up with the trends in firewalls an eight out of ten.
What needs improvement?

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Companies in Pakistan have limited budgets. Palo Alto is more expensive than other products. So, people are reluctant to put Palo Alto in their environment. It's too costly compared to other tools. I rate the pricing a nine out of ten.
What other advice do I have?
We had deployed the solution in 2018. We used a different product before, but my organization switched to Palo Alto. It was the management’s decision. Overall, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The best feature I found in the Palo Alto firewall is the monitor feature where I can get all logging details, to monitor my premises traffic so I can take action on the log and make decisions to protect my network. On the other hand, if we see any changes we made in the Palo Alto firewall then we have to commit the changes, if any misconfiguration is there we can get the prompt message to make the proper correction, however, I haven't seen this kind of best feature in the other firewall vendor.

The advanced URL filtering feature protects our network against advanced web-based attacks by performing real-time web traffic inspection. Additionally, because of its principle of treating each network packet equally, it prevents both known and unknown advanced social engineering, as well as web-based attacks, including targeted phishing, malware, exploits, and other types of web attacks.
