We performed a comparison between AlgoSec and Palo Alto Networks Panorama based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Firewall Security Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One of the quick wins is to view our device status easily, with out-of-the-box dashboards and charts."
"The features that are most valuable are the interactive topology map and the traffic simulation queries."
"Auditors can get PDF or CSV reports without having to give them access to firewalls."
"AlgoSec has helped us save time by having one central location to view firewall policies, especially when crossing multiple vendors."
"The most valuable feature is traffic simulation because, with this function, it has become more practical to know if something is released or blocked in my environment."
"The product gave us more agility on the process to analyze and resolve tickets by requesting permissions to access services not enabled by default."
"We are in the process of implementing FireFlow in our daily operation, which will make our lives even easier. The idea is to search the Firewall Analyzer for the equipment between the source and destination, and then automatically jump off to FireFlow and open a ticket. This will then automatically implement what is needed without the need to go into the Firewall itself. This will save us a lot of time and will help us to onboard junior engineers very quickly, getting them up to speed on our network and daily operation in record time."
"We have critical security policies. With AlgoSec, we can create a security policy to manage critical applications. I have worked in the bank and they have critical applications. We created some security policies for those applications. Controlling the flow is critical for our customers."
"Panorama enables you to provision all your firewalls and other things as a cluster. It is quite useful for that."
"The reporting is great."
"Threat prevention and traffic monitoring are the most valuable features for us."
"Our team has the option to make configuration changes at any given time."
"The threat prevention and layer seven security features were the most used and important for us. All operations are quite good in this solution."
"Everything about the reporting and everything about Palo Alto Networks Panorama is good."
"All of the reports and events from different locations can be managed centrally."
"Compared to all of the other firewall vendors, Palo Alto is very secure."
"I would like to seem improvements in performance and software stability."
"More scope for editing alerts would be a welcome change."
"A simple tutorial about the initial configuration on Youtube could provide a lot of help."
"In a complex landscape, with several nodes/equipment, it can be somewhat more difficult to properly visualize the network map."
"The risky rules reporting should have more information available in the risky rules report - especially when you export the data into a .CSV format. .CSV format being a text-based visualization, some information and formatting cause the reports to lose meaning and only become just another character in the file since it cannot port over some properties (like severity represented by colors)."
"In terms of integrations, we would like to see a greater number with the upcoming and next-generation tools (i.e. SOAR and a selection of other SIEMs)."
"It would be great if the product could be more simplified when defining the rules."
"ABF is not very mature compare to AFA and AFF, but the module and concepts are quite good. I would suggest more concentration on ABF, especially on object and application permissions."
"My pain point is the automation process is not well-documented. There are some things that they could improve on there."
"The customer support needs to be better."
"It communicates with remote devices, and sometimes, there is a little bit of delay during its communication with remote devices. There should be real-time communication or updates from the manager to devices."
"It could be more secure."
"Panorama needs to work on its configuration issues."
"Palo Alto Networks Panorama has some bugs that could be fixed."
"It could be easier to manage. In the future, it should be much easier because it's not very easy to manage. So in the next release, I think it should be much easier to manage, especially in the first configuration. It could also be more stable."
"The licensing costs are quite high."
