"The most valuable features of Palo Alto Networks Panorama are centralized management. We can manage all our firewalls."

"The product features allow the capacity to take effective, advanced security measures."
"Panorama is very easy, easy to administrate, and easy to control."
"I would improve the management. I need to view charts and traffic statistics, but the management console doesn't share that information with me."
"Palo Alto Networks Panorama has good stability. I didn't see any instability from it, and its initial setup was straightforward."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The system should be more customizable."
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"I would like to see AWS add some UTM features to the firewall. It would also be great if AWS Firewall had native IPS/IDS. They have the separate IPS/IDS, GuardDuty."
"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"This solution is suitable for a small-scale enterprise and may not scale up to a very high volume of traffic or a large number of servers."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"A bottleneck in Palo Alto Networks Panorama is the licensing. The licensing model for the product is complicated. Another area for improvement is the PDF report generation because you'll notice that it's missing some details."
"An area for improvement would be the connectivity, which sometimes means logs can be slow to display."
"Reporting might be an area to improve. It can provide reporting or some sort of graphical representation of your environment."

"In the future, it would be beneficial if Panorama could include a firewall assurance feature similar to Skybox."
"My company's getting whatever it needs from Palo Alto Networks Panorama, but in the cloud, there's an issue with CPU management, and that's an area for improvement. Though the normal data traffic doesn't go through the management interface, whenever there's an increase in the throughput, CPU management becomes high. If you increase the load, CPU management spikes, and it's what needs to be taken care of in Palo Alto Networks Panorama."
"The central firewall management could be better."
"There were a few bugs a couple of years into it. There was a big bug where it had trouble communicating with the two main boxes."
