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."The most valuable item is centralization and we can get all of the router bases in a single window."
"The reporting is great."
"The telemetry visibility is really good as well as the automated workflows for creating policies. The overall solution is quite intuitive to use."
"I would improve the management. I need to view charts and traffic statistics, but the management console doesn't share that information with me."
"The solution doesn't need a proxy for the Prisma Access Firewall."
"The most valuable feature is the Threat Intelligence."
"It has shared profiles for all gateways. If I do not have Panorama, I need to create a separate profile for each and every gateway by logging into that particular gateway, but with Panorama, I can create a shared profile and just push it down to each and every gateway connected to it."
"The most valuable features of Palo Alto Networks Panorama are centralized management. We can manage all our firewalls."
"Key features for us include the firewall change audit every week. Also, being able to track firewall ACL usage, so that we can produce semiannual reports on ACL usage and shadowed and redundant rules on the firewall."
"The most valuable feature is firewall management."
"It's given us more visibility in terms of what are the kinds of configurations that are on these devices, and how many of these are stale rules. So it's helped greatly in terms of cleaning up of rules, for sure. And it has definitely given us a more secure way of backing up the configuration on these devices."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Skybox Security Suite, and this is because I work on the security side, are the firewall assurance, the change manager and the vulnerability control. These three features are the most impressive from Skybox Security."
"The most impressive feature is optimization and clean-up."
"The most valuable features are Firewall Assurance and Vulnerability Control."
"It's very supportive and very user-friendly."
"Correlates logs and threats and prioritizes; provides network maps;p provides change result context and resulting vulnerability."
"There is room for improvement in the integration within endpoint detection. They need to do some integration between endpoints and the firewalls."
"We had some challenges with the initial setup, but it was more on a learning curve basis."
"The product could use some method of allowing for more customization and open integration with other controls."
"Palo Alto Networks Panorama has some bugs that could be fixed."
"The solution could improve by having a true single pane of glass environment for unified management. At the present time, you still have to use three or four different solutions to bring everything together."
"The solution's utilization of network ports makes things as complex as possible."
"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."
"I would like more dashboard management."
"If anything could be improved it would be staying on top of the collector scripts, but I understand that's a very tough challenge."
"Modifications and the deletion of existing policies are currently unavailable."
"Skybox should improve their UX features by making them easier to use."
"Reporting. A lot of the reports, out of the box, are limited to a certain number of either configuration violations or access rule violations. So when you first set up a new firewall to be monitored by Skybox, you don't get a real full report. You have to really tweak it to get everything."
"The solution needs to add more automation and orchestration capabilities. Those features would make the solution much stronger."
"The cloud site could be better. They should provide some use cases to help users."
"The tool does not offer options for customization."
"The only place where Skybox has room for improvement, and they're working on releasing this, it's just a slow-go, is the UI. The user interface has historically been via a locally installed thick client. They are moving to a web-based console and it's slowly coming out."
