"The reporting functionality in GlobalProtect needs to be improved."
"It would be really helpful to have dashboards that provide information on IOC blockings such as where and how many. It will also be good to know how many hashing files have been reported. It would also be nice to have easy access to this information. Otherwise, it's a painful, manual task."
"When it comes to renewing the solution, they tend to try to jack up the pricing."
"Higher levels of support are excellent but new users may need additional options."
"Palo Alto releases a lot of bug fixes for their firewalls, which means it's necessary to do frequent upgrades. They should work on decreasing their bugs so that upgrades aren't needed so often."
