What do you like best about the product?
The GUI interface of the Palo Alto Next-Generation firewall is straightforward to use. Firewall administration and deployment of this device were beneficial in our Production environment. We have around 60 productions of Palo Alto Next-Generation firewall in our environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Every new software release has a bug; at least, we need to upgrade our Firmware version occasionally to avoid those bugs we encounter in our environment. Yearly we have upgrade activity on each of our firewalls.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company uses it as our Network Security solution in our production environment. We also used a firewall to protect our backend resources facing the internet and for PCI compliance.

NGFW Review

  • December 23, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Palo Alto NGFW is excellent for acting as the first line of defense, with proactive malware filtering, conditional access, and continual content updates. The system is easy to update and maintain from a beginner level to an expert.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the drawbacks of Palo Alto is the technical support side. We have had mixed experiences when troubleshooting with the recommendations they provide. Not all resolutions to an issue may be a one size fits all type of fix; each environment will be different, so that must always be considered.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The NGFW in our current environment is used for edge protection, and others are used for internal segmentation. They perform excellently in reducing the filtered traffic to what is genuinely needed within the network.

The Best Next Generation Firewall For your Organization: PALO ALTO

  • October 18, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

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!

  • May 26, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

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.
