Advanced threat prevention with visibility and control
What is our primary use case?
We manage public or private cloud traffic, inspecting for security through various profiles. This includes managing traffic for southeast, east-west, inbound, and A access, applying security profiles to the traffic. I also work with the Check Point Next Generation Firewall and Palo Alto Firewalls.
What is most valuable?
The most effective features for threat prevention include the threat prevention signature level, the application filter capability, and the visibility provided by the firewalls.
We use these tools to prevent all known and unknown threats using Palo Alto Networks' Wildfire and other data filtering tools to gather information, analyze traffic, manage malicious traffic, and offer visibility, control, and attack prevention.
What needs improvement?
When managing the firewall, it involves a Strata Cloud web browser that requires improvement to enhance deployment ease and call center efficiency.
Additionally, focusing more on enhancing the Stata Cloud Manager would be beneficial.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used this solution for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is very stable and has been in the market for the last 16 weeks.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We are very much satisfied with the tool's scalability.
It rates up to nine out of ten for scalability satisfaction.
How are customer service and support?
The support is quite responsive, but the support quality could be improved. They should focus on enhancing the support provided.
How would you rate customer service and support?
How was the initial setup?
The setup is easy; I would rate it ten out of ten for ease of setup.
What was our ROI?
Customers can see data within a week, indicating a quick return on investment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is at a reach level. I'm not the person who deals with exact pricing details.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend going with the VM series, as it integrates advanced technological standards on a single platform and supports Kubernetes and Docker, which other vendors often don't offer.
I rate the overall solution ten out of ten.
Palo Alto My opinion
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing I like about Palo Alto Networks Cloud NGFW is deep packet inspection. The traditional packet filtering doesn't contain the feature of checking the body of packet for any malware whereas dpi chceks it with the header. There were cases where that helped us and save us from malware.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its expensive, with the document being not that user friendly for novice people. Customer support can be better, has complex configurtions for resources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The DPI has helped us significantly, earlier the attcaks on us bypassed our security and we weren't able to figure out the issue, but then we started using Palo Alto Networks Cloud NGFW DPI, it has caught several such malwares and helped hours of investigation.
Great solution to Cloud NGFW
What do you like best about the product?
Palo Alto Cloud NGFW helps us as a perimeter firewall, applying border policies. For us, it is the best option to establish a site-to-site VPN with other internal clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the dashboard responds slowly, but everything is all right.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With this firewall, we were able to implement the best policies. Thanks to Global Protect, the internal client can securely access the company's data, and it was the only solution that facilitated the creation of a site-to-site VPN from a cloud environment.
